Cruel Heat

Maintain heat above 50% for 10 seconds. [Thank you crazyabe111]Dimensional Bypass

Banisher

Banish 10 threats. This may not count the small fish at Devil’s Spine, but it definitely counts the Ships at night. [Thank you crazyabe111]

Unsustainable Fishing

Harvest a fishing spot from long distance. Atrophy harvests the spot closest to you, so I found an isolated spot and moved until it was just at the edge of my vision. Harvested spots do recover, just very very slowly. [Thank you crazyabe111]
