The Absolutes are conceptual entities which sometimes appear in Everywhere and need to be fought off. They each use their own self-titled element with immunity to normal status effects, and they use avatars which emit a fraction of their true power. While Absolutes are appearing in Everywhere, their influence infects every site feature; some drops from Gathering Tasks are replaced with drops from the Absolutes, NPCs will repeat the same lines under the Absolute's influence, and certain spells or consumables are unusable. In compensation, they also provide access to some special items as drops, and they provide lore about Everywhere and a main plot that appears to be slowly developing.
Ivy contains survival, growth, overabundance, and nature. Ivy manifests whenever the seasons change, and has the lowest health of any Absolute.
The Hearth contains stability, prosperity, family, and dreams. The Hearth manifests before major game updates, first appearing just before Chimeric moved from the public Beta into its full release.
The Body contains isolation, cold, death, and space. It manifests during double-lunar eclipses. The Body is the only enemy in the game that can survive at negative HP, or "survive" in that combat continues at least.
Reaching contains desire, perception, impulse, and love. It's unclear exactly what criteria cause Reaching to manifest, though it's never appeared within three days of a Celebration or another Absolute's appearance.
