Version history

Version	Changes
3.24.0	Added a myriad of small improvements and surprises to the Campaign. The Dweller of the Deep spawns imprisoned with an Essence modifier. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.15.0	We have rebalanced various monsters found throughout Act One to make them more dangerous. Note, the balance changes made to Act One Bosses and monsters also apply to their Endgame Map versions. Monster life has been increased by roughly 46% at level 1, tapering down to the same amount of life at level 84. Some bosses and monsters in Act 1, such as Hillock and Oozeback have had their life reduced to partially counteract this change. Various effects improvements have been made to monsters and bosses throughout Act One. Various audio improvements have been made to monsters and bosses throughout Act One.
3.4.0	The Deep Dweller is now called the Dweller of the Deep, to be consistent with what the quest calls him. The other option was "Granddaddy Crab".
2.4.0	Fixed a bug where the Dweller of the Deep would leave a phantom glow effect behind after its first form died.
2.3.0	Fixed a bug with the Dweller of the Deep where he could leave behind a phantom glow effect in the shape of a sandspitter when dying in his first form.
