Turtle Trial Update 3.3 - Orca Boss Fix

This small update focuses on the orca boss fight towards the end of the game. Most of the changes for the fight are to balance the combat as previously it was too difficult and to also fix some issues with specific stages of the fight.  Hopefully, this will be the last minor fix related update for a while unless more issues are discovered.
