I went back to farm Bomblet today for the first time since the version update, and found the Friar's Lanterns to be behaving rather strangely. Sometimes they would bulk up to full size early in the fight whereas previously I've never known them to grow unless my THF partner uses a WS. They would sometimes (I'd say about 30% of the time) grow to full size in response to normal melee'ing, however none of them used Self-Destruct once they reached this point.
Then something else strange happened - the Tough Lantern closest to Big Bomb's ??? spawn (that doesn't drop the pop item) actually did decide to Self-Destruct on us, without a single increase in size beforehand. Killed my THF partner and nearly killed me as well. Also we found Big Bomb itself to be a lot more difficult than usual.
Has anyone else encountered any odd post-update behaviour in these mobs?
