September 25: current corrections
Ear does not aggro while walking to a new spot and abandons unreachable destinations.
Known behavior and practical response
It cannot see; the launch post says noise sends it swinging.
Ear does not aggro while walking to a new spot and abandons unreachable destinations.
- Reduce avoidable sound and give the creature room; no exact hearing distance is officially published.
Sound cue versus sound detection
Ear is described as blind and hunting by sound. This is stronger evidence of sound detection than merely hearing a creature make noise. The August range reduction has no published numeric hearing radius.
Location and level evidence
Enemy sets and bosses are level-specific after September 10. The announcements do not publish a complete location/level assignment; an unknown location is not a confirmed absence.
- Exact level, boss role, damage and range remain unverified.
Dated changes
Review the date as well as the behavior: a historical adjustment is not a new September mechanic.
