Monster organ sample

Metamorph Sample refer to the 5 types of items from the in-game mechanics Metamorph: Brain, Eye, Heart, Lung and Liver. The itemized unique Metamorph organ (referred as "Greater Samples" in the dialogue or itemized sample in the Metamorph league challenge) only drop from defeating the Metamorph boss that constructed by the player in map.

Mechanics

A nearly-filled meter. Note that all samples from the map area are collected and the combination is already using the highest rarity of each sample type.

Each map have 10% chance to have Metamorph encounter (was 100% in Metamorph league) as one of the core game mechanics. The chance is not shared with Master nor Abyss, Blight, Breach and Legion, etc. In the encounter, certain monsters are marked with a green "arrow" on their bodies as well as marked on the mini-map, and the monster health and name bar have a green circle. Upon defeating these monsters, they drop organ samples which are automatically collected. With a full set of samples: Brain, Eye, Heart, Lung, and Liver, players can construct a Metamorph boss (or just known as Metamorph) based on the combination they have used. (Players can use a button in the UI to spawn Tane Octavius and his boss constructing machine: Metamorph Vial).

Since, in one map or area, players can usually collect multiple copies of each type of the samples, there are many combinations of the samples to construct the Metamorph boss. The combination affects the loot as well as the Metamorph boss' abilities and health. Moreover, a meter to the right fills based on sample rarity, and unlocks certain bonuses. For example, the Metamorph boss may drop an itemized Metamorph organ, if a unique sample from the map boss is used and the meter is filled.

Only one Metamorph boss can be constructed in each area (except in Tane's Laboratory) despite players usually having multiple sets of samples.

Tane will also remind the player to use the samples to construct a boss before leaving an area, due to the samples needing to be fresh (they cannot carry over to the next instance).

Players can construct a stronger Metamorph boss in Tane's Laboratory by using a full set of itemized Metamorph organs.

Vendor recipe

Three of any itemized organs can be sold to a NPC to receive a random organ differing from those offered, with random rewards.

Thus, if the players lack Eye and Liver, they should use 1 Brain, 1 Heart and 1 Lung in the recipe to maximize the chance.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.9.2	Added a new vendor recipe for Metamorph organs. Three of any organs can be given to receive a random organ differing from those offered, with random rewards. Fixed an uncommon case where Metamorph organs [sic Sīc erat scriptum (Latin: “Thus it was written”) – This quote is reproduced faithfully from its source.] were missing when the area had been cleared. Visual effects from monsters that give organs dying now correctly remain rather than being removed shortly after.
3.9.1b	Fixed a bug affecting the distribution of organs in Metamorph League. They should now actually drop evenly. We will also be adding a recipe later to help players with excess organs. Fixed a bug in Metamorph League where Tane Octavius would appear before all parts were found.
3.9.1	Metamorph samples are now collected automatically when monsters die. Every Map Boss can now be chosen for all organ types for Metamorph League. This will result in an even distribution of the different organs to use in Tane's Laboratory.
3.9.0e	Fixed a bug in Metamorph League where organs could be placed in the Anointing slot, resulting in a crash.
3.9.0d	Fixed a bug where Itemised Metamorph Samples could be used in the "Convert this Unique Item" Bestiary recipe. Fixed another case of Unnamed Monster Components dropping from Metamorph targets. This also fixes the issue where the Metamorph UI would display samples that didn't exist.
3.9.0c	Fixed the Unnamed Monster Component bug. This has temporarily introduced a visual bug where the Metamorph interface will show unobtainable monsters. This will be fixed in a follow-up hotfix.
3.9.0b	Fixed a bug in Metamorph League where map bosses sometimes did not drop organs.
3.9.0	Introduced to the game as league mechanics. In the Metamorph Challenge League, fellow exile Tane Octavius is investigating the source of ill intent in the world; what he calls "The Intrinsic Darkness". Help him by harvesting flesh samples from monsters throughout Wraeclast and combining them to summon powerful, transforming bosses: Metamorphs. Once you reach maps, you'll be able to acquire samples from map bosses in different areas and combine them in Tāne's lab for fights that are extra difficult (but extra rewarding!).
