Gestating Heart

"The flesh is immortal, it is undying! Pray it does not take too hideous a form..."

- The Ancestor

The Gestating Heart is the second-to-last form of the final boss of the Darkest Dungeon. Classified as ELDRITCH, it is a wriggling mass of horror that seems to be incubating an even more frightening and incomprehensible form.

Behavior
Every time one of your Heroes uses an ability on the Gestating Heart, they will gain 12 health back (4 on Stygian) and have a 150% chance to be Blighted for 2 damage (6 on Stygian) lasting 3 rounds. The Heart will only use Dispersion until the third round, at which point it casts Ascension.
