The Act 1 upd has led dataminers to find code referencing:

One prominent theory: The “parasited little puck” is actually the hero, and the Parasite Queen is the tragic villain trying to save her lineage. The update’s mercy ending supports this.

Phase 1 (100%–70% HP)
The Queen uses claw swipes and egg spit. Ignore the eggs—they spawn larvae, but those larvae will boost your “Little Puck” stacks if you let them latch onto you briefly before shaking them off.
✅ Pro tip: Let 3–4 larvae attach, then use Cleansing Flame (item) to kill them and gain +2 stacks.

Phase 2 (70%–40% HP)
She summons a Parasite Well in the center. Standing in it doubles your ability cooldown speed but also drains HP. Use it sparingly. The Queen now fires homing spores.
✅ Use Dash Clone to redirect spores back at her for 150–200 damage each. parasited+little+puck+parasite+queen+act+1+upd

Phase 3 (40%–0% HP) – Choice Moment
Do NOT attack when she freezes. Open the choice wheel.

Use Pheromone Mimicry at the waterfall entrance. Inside you’ll find three unhatched queen eggs. Interact with them in this order: Middle, Left, Right. The central egg hatches into a Loyal Broodling companion for the boss fight.

The puck, now fully parasited, glows with a steady teal hue. Its once‑innocent surface now bears faint runic etchings—symbols of the ancient Midsummer game that grant it a latent magical property: “Rebound of Fate.” This property allows the puck to deflect any incoming magical attack, rebounding it with increased potency.

Narrator:
“Bound to the queen’s will, the little puck becomes a beacon—drawing foes into a web of illusion and echo, while the queen watches, patient as the night.” The Act 1 upd has led dataminers to find code referencing:

Long before the game begins, the Glimmerwood was a realm of light spirits. The Umbral Brood—a dimension of parasitic entities—leaked into the wood through a wound in reality. Most hosts went mad, becoming “hollow husks.” Puck was different: a tiny, mischievous sprite who was infected as a larva. The parasite didn’t consume Puck’s mind; it merged with it, creating a symbiotic chaos entity.

The Parasite Queen is the Brood’s progenitor. She seeks to reclaim Puck’s parasite, because it carries a unique genetic marker: the Queen’s own discarded royal ovum. In other words, Puck’s parasite is her lost child, making Puck a sort of adoptive “step-host” to royalty.
