Temple of Ateph?

So in a few dozen times that I’ve done this quest for Cult of Bysmiel (I take them on both Normal and Ultimate because ̶s̶i̶m̶p̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶B̶y̶s̶c̶i̶l̶l̶a̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶ I just don’t like the other two cult’s quests.)

And every time there were three bosses there in the room. One of statue, one of a “gryphon-like” thing and something else.
Every single time.

But this evening I got this:


It was the only boss in the room.

I wonder what triggers the change?
The only thing I could think of is that I gathered all the seals of Morgoneth on the way there.
But I think I did that with other characters too, and never had this result.
Really interested in what’s going on.

Saving the cultists in the AoM DLC will alter this boss and leave a corpse with a note on the floor.

It’s basically to pick which legendary offhand you want to farm.

Mythical Inashkor's Head - Items - Grim Dawn Item Database → Bird boss drops this one.

Mythical Inashkor's Corrupted Head - Items - Grim Dawn Item Database → The boss in that picture drops this one.

This is one of my favourite things in the game, that a decision in Act 6 has this effect in Act 7 and nothing is said about it. It’s so low key and subtle.

And it’s not just some decision you would stumble across every other time.
You have to actually

  1. go to act 6 before act 7 (given the fact that you could go to 7 right away after act 1).
  2. go all the way to Fringes of Sanity (most of the time you don’t actually have an incentive to).
  3. Spare the cultists
  4. Choose cult of Bysmiel

Took me 700 hours and a good couple dozen of runs (between Normal and Ultimate) to align all of those for the first time.

Is that drop only in Ultimate mode?

1500 hours in, never knew that. Thanks!
