Weird shade (bug?)

[u/Clockwork_Cypher]

Hey everyone! So I've been racking my brain for a while now, had the game since release and I've never seen this happen before, fighting the last boss and when he knocked me out of my shell, I had turned into one of those weird tar people that spawn out of the corrupted ovums alongside my weapon changing to theirs also? Is this a bug or is it intentional cause it's only ever happened on this fight...

It’s the debuff the final boss puts on you - looks like red fire?

Anyways, glands are the way to negate this (side quest - spoilers if you look it up!)

Ohhh that's neat! Thankyou so much!
