Additional Notes

I understand keeping the NPC alive might not be intended but it would be super useful for any state machine being used in boss fights so that any player that is too strong will not break the entire boss fight by letting all states complete and cleanup before the NPC is eliminated.

The status of FORT-933278 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We’ve confirmed the issue and it’s waiting to be assigned to someone to fix it.
