Bug Fixes and Balance Adjustments Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where restarting the game could cause an equipped pendant and Seikret decorations registered in the Hunter Profile to reset to default. Fixed an issue where some visual effects of the Hunting Horn's Echo Bubble displayed red regardless of effect. Fixed an issue in Barrel Bowling where points were sometimes not correctly awarded for targets hit by explosions. Fixed an issue where the fishing button guide incorrectly displayed a stick rotation input when using keyboard controls. Fixed other miscellaneous issues. Support Hunters Adjusted Fabius's guard position to be closer to the center of the area when Gogmazios's special attack is successfully weakened, and prevented his guard from being delayed by incoming attacks. When successfully weakening Gogmazios's special attack, Fabius will now send a signal and display an objective marker (guild icon). Additionally, new Fabius dialogue has been added for when failing to weaken the attack. Fixed an issue where Fabius could behave unnaturally when guarding after successfully weakening Gogmazios's special attack. Added the effects of the skill Shock Absorb
