THE LAST PHOTON
- MONSTER
- THE RIFT
- UNIQUE MONSTER
- PHASING
THE LAST PHOTON is a one-of-a-kind monster that turns up on THE RIFT on a fraction of runs, alone, and never twice.
It senses you through walls and drifts straight through them; the dead do not respect stone.
The final particle of light emitted by a universe that has since finished. It has nowhere left to arrive, it has not stopped travelling, and it is extremely tired of being looked at.

The monster at its baseline, before a venue has placed it. What it really fields on each difficulty is under “Where you meet it”.
Where you meet it
THE RIFT
It is a candidate for THE RIFT's once-a-run unique roll, so most runs never see it.

What to know
- HOVERSHas no legs and never touches the floor — it drifts over it, casting its shadow down.
- PHASINGWalks through walls and hunts you through them.
- UNIQUE MONSTERFields 10× the health, 2× the damage and pays 10× the experience of an ordinary monster of its kind.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGNothing. It has no pockets, and never had wages — a kill pays in gear, not in coin.
- WHEN STRUCKIt sheds light. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it into shards of whatever it was made of, and they go out slowly.
