This was a thread a few years back... somewhere. I thought I'd revive the idea and see what you guys can come up with!
So... what would your character be like as a boss? Either as a raid boss, trial, or dungeon boss? What would they say throughout the fight? Before? After? Why would the WoL or a party of adventurers be after them? What would the quest be? How many people would it require? What abilities would they have? Is there a HM? Ex?Â

Let's see what you've got!

I'll add my own as time goes on!

Would definitely be the weak boss in a 4 person dungeon.

Fight start would say "Oh gonna get rough in here, can't say I've be handled by four people at once. How exciting!"

Random target charge would say "How about we get to know each other better? What do you say good looking?"

Big single target attack "Hey, what that behind you?"

Upon defeat "All that effort and not a bit of pleasure, you guys are no fun" then he runs away.

I gave this as a writing prompt to some folks about a year ago, so I'm gonna shamelessly copy-paste the whole thing. =B (CONTEXT: I have an IC running gag with Y'raja claiming to be The Godsbow. Nobody actually believes this, herself included. She's just being being obnoxious.)

Y'raja Lhiza
Trial: Drifter's Concerto Hall (Hard)

8 Players

Boss Theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5bgJ5pKo60

Setting:
To deny Y'raja as the ever-exquisite Godsbow is to sing the song of insanity. To quell these false accusations, this odd Sun Seeker challenges all who dare to question the validity of her Oschon-blessed title. She wants to play a game. One based on her own rules, in her very own lair acquired via somewhatÂ legitimate means -- an abandoned Sharlayan amphitheater in the Dravanian Hinterlands.

Sorry to disappoint, but there isn't a lot of actual fighting in this fight. Why? Well... You see...

I have to type out Alyx. I do plan to add more when i get back to a legit computer...

Duty Finder: Trial of the Quintessence

The boss: Alyx Quintessence, Gaia Quintessence, Igni Quintessence, Forta Quintessence and Wati Quintessence.

Bio: After giving the sisters practice one on one, Alyx has declared a challenge. To fight her sisters all at once. However, she did allow you to gather many fighters like yourself to attend this battle. On top of her personal tower. The fight itself will not be simple like practice. for they will be bringing out their full strength in this fight.

Do not falter and show your might as a team against her own!

Location: On top of the Quintessence Tower in Corethas.

The fight itself

Phase one: The four elemental sisters.
[youtube]I6HS5lOekS0[/youtube]

Tanks must pick up Igni and Wati, Forta is untankable and Gaia is a healer.
Wati does a cone aoe damage attacks and Igni is single target with having to swap between them to counter their Debuffs.

At 50% of their individual HP bars, they will cast a special skill.

Wati: Tidal Slam= Deals Water damage and knocks down players for five seconds.
Forta: Wind Barrage=Boosts her attack speed and damageÂ
Gaia: Earthen Barricade= Reduces damage done to all her other sisters for the remainder of the fight
Igni: Flare Blitz= Starts tossing straight line AOE strikes at random positions.

They can all be defeated seperately. Easiest strat: Igni first, Forta, Wati then Gaia. Gaia's heals can be interrupted with ease.

Phase two starts when all four sisters are defeated. They then rest on an alcove in the distance and Alyx joins the fight.
[youtube]BWl5vg3y3-U[/youtube]

Alyx MUST NOT BE TANKED ON THE EDGES! Keep her in the center.
On occasion she will summon six aether bombs, one of each element. All players aside the tanks will get a corresponding color marker. Match the color with the bombs to suppress the AOE damage to minimal single target damage. If someone hits the wrong color, it will blow the bomb prematurally and give Durability damage increase to all players.

Alyx will also lob Lava bolts for AOE strikes to other range targets while the tank deals with her basic Ruin Three Spell.Â
Tank swap happens after she does saber slash. The tank takes more magic damage depending how many stacks.

At 50%, Alyx will then start summoning Obelisks that radiate eletricity. DO NOT STAND NEAR THEM! Avoid them and they will eventually fade.

Once she reaches defeat, the fight ends....

EX mode has a third phase.

Loot rewards are weapons with at least two elemental fusions in them reflecting your role complete with glow effect and rare chance at Mini Quintessence Minions (randomly chosen)

Testarossa Fate

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Riot Force 6 â€“ The Coliseum ( Hard Mode)

Introduction: For your upcoming adventures you have found new comrades in a small military force called the Riot Force 6. However, some of their members still doubt your abilities and strengths. There is only one way to convince them: You have to take on the 'Lightning Goddess' herself.

Phase 1: The battle takes place in a large, circle-shaped arena while the outside resembles a coliseum. Several familiar NPC's are watching the battle with interest.

Dialogue starts at the pull.

Testarossa Fate: It is an honor fighting against you, Warrior of Light. However, make no mistake. Even though this is a sparring match, I will not hold back in the slightest. I expect the same from you.

Ability Breakdown:

Piercing Lancer: Heavy Tankbuster that has to be mitigated.

Sonic Move: Fate dashes through the arena in different patterns, causing high damage to players hit while inflicting paralysis.

Plasma Lancer: 2 Random players will be targeted with debuffs. One player will receive the debuff â€œLiving bombâ€ while the other player receives the debuff â€œThunderstruckâ€. When debuff â€œLiving bomb" runs out it will deal high damage to the person it was cast upon while dealing high to extremely high damage to the raid depending on how good or bad the mechanic was dealt with. The player with the debuff â€œThunderstruckâ€ will receive massive damage, potentially oneshotting him if not dealt with the mechanic properly.

Thunder Rage: Fate rams Bardiche into the floor and causes a thunderstorm across the arena, creating medium AoE damage that hits the party. Thunder Rage will continue dealing damage until a certain amount of DPS has been dealt to Fate. Small dps check.

Timeline for Phase 1:

10 seconds into the fight Fate will cast Piercing Lancer which is then followed by Thunder Rage. After approx. 30 seconds another Piercing Lancer follows which is then followed by Sonic Move. Sonic Move can have one of three patterns and the charges will be visualized by a small thunder cloud appearing atop the danger zone shortly before the hit.
Hexagon Pattern: Fate charges across the arena in a Hexagon-like pattern, leaving only the middle of the arena safe.

Slice Pattern: Fate charges across the arena in an X-fashion, covering a huge part of the arena while only a small part, a slice, is left over as a safespot.

Triangle Pattern: Fate charges through the arena in a triangle pattern, leaving only a safespot outside of the triangle.

After Sonic Move and about 1 Minute and 30 Seconds into the fight Fate will use another Piercing Lancer, followed by a Thunder Rage and another Piercing Lancer.

About 2 Minutes and 10 Seconds into the fight Fate will use Plasma Lancer.

How to deal with Plasma Lancer:

The solution to dealing with â€œLiving Bombâ€ is to simply pass on the debuff to other players before it runs out. Each time the buff is passed on another 5 seconds will be added to the timer. The longer it takes for Living Bomb to actually blow up, the less raid damage will be received. After passing Living Bomb the player will not be able to take the debuff off of other players.

The solution for dealing with â€œThunderstruckâ€ is to have the Offtank take the debuff and move towards Fate. Thunderstruck will still deal massive damage to the Offtank, so proper mitigation is key. Positioning yourself next to Fate is important, as she will get hit by her own Plasma Lancer, thus preventing another use of Plasma Lancer.

For Hard Mode failing those mechanics won't necessarily cause a wipe, however it will result in massive damage and give healers a hard time.

Depending on dps Fate will use another Piercing Laser, followed by Sonic Move, followed by another Thunder Rage. Once enough dps has been dealt or after the last Thunder Rage Phase 2 of the fight will begin. The following dialogue signals the transition:

Fate: You really are a worthy rival. Few have pushed me this far, but this battle is far from over. Let's go Bardiche.

Phase 2: During the begin of Phase 2 Fate will become untargettable and charges her ultimate attack.

Ability Breakdown:

Sonic Fate: Sonic Fate is a hard hitting add that needs to be tanked by both the MT and OT. It has the lowest health pool of the adds.

Sonic Sail: Sonic Fate charges a random player for high damage while simultaneously swapping the aggro of the charged player with that of the tank. Shortly after the charge it will cast Jet Zanber.

Jet Zanber: Heavy tankbuster that needs to be mitigated.

Lightning Fate: Ligtning Fate is a low hitting add with a big health pool. It acts mostly as support for the other adds while also inflicting debuffs.

Lightning Bind: A random dps will be bound on the spot. The bind can be attacked and destroyed to free the player.

Thunder Fall: Shortly after Lightning Bind a Thunder Fall will be cast on the same player. Thunder Fall is a debuff that does moderate raid wide damage after going off and inflicts a damage down debuff to the entire raid.

Sealing: A random Healer will receive the â€œSealedâ€ debuff, rendering him unable to use any Healing abilities. Shielding is still possible.

Round Shield: A Shield buff will be casted on either Sonic Fate, Lightning Fate or Blaze Fate.

Blaze Fate: Blaze Fate is a medium hp ranged add that cannot be aggroed and will attack random party members.

Thunder Bullet: A random party member will be targetted with a yellow marker and AoE circles will be dropped on him. Stepping into a circle before the mechanic is finished will cause it to explode, resulting in low to high damage depending on which circle the player stepped into. Further explained later.

Photon Lancer Multishot: 4 random party members will receive moderate, unavoidable damage.

Arc Saber: Blaze Fate moves to one side of the arena and then proceeds to shoot the entire arena in a 270Â° cone.

Testarossa Fate: After approx. 2 minutes Fate will have finished charging up her attack and uses Photon Lancer : Phalanx Shift.

Photon Lancer Phalanx Shift: The entire arena is surrounded and covered in Thunder Orbs. Fate points Bardiche towards the players upon which the orbs move towards them, exploding in thunderous glory. If any of the adds was still alive at this point it will automatically result in a wipe.

Timeline for Phase 2:

All adds spawn simultaneously at the beginning of the phase. It is vital that one of the tanks immediately picks up Sonic Fate as she will be using Jet Zanber approx. 5 seconds into the phase. At about 10 seconds into the fight Lightning Fate will use Sealing on one of the two healers. Shortly afterwards Blaze Fate will use Photon Lancer Multishot.

At about 20 seconds into the fight Sonic Fate will use Sonic Sail, so one of the Tanks needs to make sure to grab aggro after the charge right away or the affected player WILL die. Shortly afterwards Lightning Fate will cast Lightning Bind immediately followed by Thunder Fall on one random player while Blaze Fate simultaneously uses Thunder Bullet on another random player.

How to deal with Lightning Bind/Thunder Fall and Thunder Bullet combo:

The Lightning Bind / Thunder FallÂ affected player should move to the edge of the arena that will be hit last by the Thunder Bullet as soon as he is freed of his bind, while the player with Thunder Bullet needs to make sure to place all circles around the edge of the arena to keep enough space in the middle for players to maneuver. An example would be to place the Lightning Bind / Thunder Fall player at NW while letting the Thunder Bullet affected player stand on North before the first Bullet comes down, thus moving in a circle and ending up on NW with the last bullet/puddle. Each subsequent bullet and the resulting puddle will cause less damage. Standing in the puddle will remove Thunder Fall before it goes off, thus preventing the damage down debuff.

Shortly after this mechanic Blaze Fate will use Arc Saber while Lightning Fate will use Round Shield on one of the remaining adds. The Round Shield acts like a strong stone skin but it will disappear after a while, so dps should focus on the other add.

During Arc Saber Sonic Fate will use Jet Zanber. Shortly afterwards she will use Sonic Sail, followed by another Jet Zanber, so tanks need to be aware.

This rotation will repeat one more time before the ultimate finishes casting and it is up to the players to decide which add to get rid of first. The Phase ends with Photon Lancer Phalanx Shift and either the wipe of the group or the transition into Phase 3.

Phase 3: The arena is now slightly demolished and the battle reaches its climax. Fate has now access to one new form called True Sonic Form.

The following Dialogue starts the transition into the 3rd and final Phase:

Fate: You withstood my Phalanx Shift. It's been a long time since someone has pushed me this far. You truly are the Warrior of Light. But I'm not done yet.
Let's go Bardiche!

Ability Breakdown:

True Sonic Form: Fate's most offensive form will cause her to gain Damage Up stacks over time. Too many damage up stacks will result in players being oneshotted, so making sure she doesn't receive too many stacks is key to preventing a wipe.

Plasma Smasher: High unavoidable raid damage that has to be healed through. Each subsequent use will increase how often Plasma Smasher hits.

Scythe Slash: Massive Tankbuster that has to be shared by the MT and OT.

Plasma Barret: A random party member's hp is immediately lowered to 1 HP. The player also receives a debuff that will grant a Damage Up Stack to Fate if said player dies within 20 seconds after Plasma Barret.

Belkan Towers: Three Belkan Towers will spawn in the Northwest, Northeast and South of the Arena.

Ancient Belkan Tower: This Belkan tower will slowly put debuffs on the healers, reducing the amount healed for each stack until healing becomes impossible.

Mythical Belkan Tower: This Belkan tower will create a Tether between itself and Fate, causing Fate to gain Damage Up Stacks. A player can move between Fate and the tower to pick up the tether. He will receive a damage up buff BUT at the same time suffers a high bleeding debuff.

Artificial Belkan Tower: This Belkan tower will tether itself to the other two towers and starts healing them. The tethers can be picked up by two players to prevent the healing of the other towers, however picking up the tether will result in a TP/Mana drain over time. This tower is invulnerable until at least one of the other towers is destroyed.

Phalanx Orbs: As the fight progresses Orbs will start swarming the arena, exploding for moderate damage upon impact. Players have to be especially careful if hit by Plasma Barret to make sure they won't be hit by any of these orbs.

Belkan Impulse: Fate will try to absorb the towers. The group will be hit with raidwide, unavoidable damage depending on how many towers were still alive prior to the cast being finished. On the other hand this skill will damage Fate herself, depending on how many towers have been destroyed. If all 3 towers were still alive this results in an automatic wipe. If all 3 towers were destroyed Fate will receive massive damage, giving players a good shot at defeating her.

Once the tower part of the final phase is over Fate will use another Scythe Slash, followed by another Plasma Smasher, followed by another Scythe Slash.

After that Fate will begin casting the Hard Enrage.

Photon Lancer Genocide Shift: Fate's Hard Enrage. At this point it's either you or her. She will finish the cast in approx. 10 seconds which then results in another Ultimate similar to Phalanx Shift, however this time it will result in an automatic wipe.

Ferus · **03-25-2017, 04:18 AM**

Trial: The Bloodsands (Extreme)

For one night only, this Sunday night at Sultanamania, retired Halatali fighter Ferus Ironlash returns to the ring to take on any and all comers. Do you have what it takes?

____

Persistent Mechanics: (They last through the entire fight)

Hype: The attitude of the audience is affecting your party's morale. For each positive stack of Hype, the entire raid gains a 5% bonus to damage dealt. Hype is gained when the raid successfully transitions through phases and when using limit breaks. Each level of limit break grants an additional stack of Hype: e.g. level 1 LB gives one stack of Hype, level 2 gives two stacks, etc.

At negative Hype, the raid gains a debuff that decreases damage dealt by 5% for each stack. Hype is lost when a party member dies. The entire raid loses a single stack of Hype when any party member dies. If a party member dies with negative stacks of Hype, the crowd begins booing, causing the raid to lose two stacks of Hype. Hype caps at three stacks maximum.

The raid starts the encounter at zero Hype.

Bladedance: At either ten minutes after the pull or at three negative stacks of Hype, your raid completely fails to go over with the Coliseum audience, and they give all their hype to Ferus, who wipes the raid with a limit break.

___

Phase 1: Gladiator

Ferus begins the encounter wielding a sword and shield.

Abilities:
Rage of Rhalgr: Tank buster that requires cooldowns to be popped to live through. Instant kill if the target has a Vulnerability Up debuff from Full Swing.

Full Swing: Medium damage hit that leaves a Vulnerability Up debuff on the target. Debuff timer will fade out before the next Rage of Rhalgr.

Provoke: Targets a random raid member and inflicts the Taunt status on them. Taunted players lose control of their character, who immediately runs up to Ferus and only autoattacks him. Taunt also includes a Vulnerability Up debuff. Can be cleansed with Esuna/Leeches/Exalted Detriment.

Circle of Scorn: Wide range AoE attack surrounding Ferus that deals heavy AoE damage. Cast immediately after Provoke. Oneshots taunted players.

Strategy:
Tank and spank. Phase transition at 70%. Basic competence check/PuG killer.

___

Phase 2: Griffin Mount

At 70%, Ferus calls a griffin in and mounts up on its back.

Abilities:

Piercing Talon: Ferus tosses a javelin at the target area marked by an orange circle that does heavy AoE damage. Throws three of these, each targeting a different area to mark the three points of a triangle.

Whirling Gaol: Sucks the raid into the center of the arena for massive AoE damage. To survive, players must stack up on the javelins that Ferus threw in order to hang onto them. However, each javelin can only support a maximum of three players. If more than three players stack on one javelin, the javelin will break, dealing additional damage to each player as they are sucked into the Whirling Gaol, which will more than likely kill all of them with their combined damage. Considering four players die, this will probably wipe the raid with negative Hype.

Three Talon Strike: Ferus's griffin flies up and divebombs through where each javelin is thrown in the order they were thrown. Getting hit by the griffin will knock you inside of the triangular area marked by the javelins. Once the divebombs are complete, Ferus jumps off of his griffin to cast Ring of Thorns, dealing heavy damage to tanks and fatal damage to non-tanks inside the triangular area before remounting his griffin.

Strategy:
Do mechanics. If you're having trouble pushing Phase 3 DPS, casting melee LB1 at the start of the phase to build Hype is a viable option. Phase transition at 45%.

____

Phase 3: Job Change: Dark Knight

At 45%, Ferus is knocked off of his griffin. He throws his sword and shield away, and draws a greatsword as a dark aura begins to surround him.

Abilities:
Blood Price: Cast at the start of the phase. For every 10 percent of damage taken, Ferus gains a stack of haste that reduces his attack timers. Acts as a soft enrage timer/DPS and healer check.

Unleash: Roomwide AoE, hits raid for medium damage. Frequency of Unleash casts increase as Blood Price stacks increase.

Souleater: 3.5 second cast timer. Must be silenced or Ferus instantly kills the tank while recovering 15% of his health. Souleater will kill you even if you have Hallowed Ground, Holmgang, or Living Dead up. Do the mechanic.

Dark Dance: Marked with a cast timer beforehand so you know it's coming. Gains a parry buff for 7 seconds while losing invulnerabilty to stuns. Parries all physical attacks and deals medium damage and gives a Damage Down debuff in retaliation with Reprisal unless stunned.

Plunge: Marks a random healer with Another Victim for five seconds before leaping at them, dealing heavy damage. Deals near-lethal damage without mitigation. Followed up by an Unleash cast.

Strategy:
DPS and healer check. LB3 will generally be reached at the beginning of the phase if you haven't cast it throughout the fight yet. Ferus must be stunlocked during Dark Dance, so I hope your DPS saved their stuns. Or just bring a Paladin.

Lyriell · **03-26-2017, 05:52 PM**

I like the hype mechanic Ferus ^^

Now I'm wondering if I should do an Extreme Version for Fate. I have some ideas but I'm sure people would think the encounter is too difficult ^^

Arashin Kujqai · **05-07-2017, 08:41 AM**

I could imagine Valic being one of those mini fate/duty battles you end up doing for classes/jobs. For what exactly is beyond me, I could only imagine as one of the ending red mage job quests, or to test the warrior of light's strength utilizing Hydaelyn's blessing and the echo. More than likely the latter because I wouldn't want to take such an honor for the former. I can't come up with a quest line off the bat but I can get to the part just before the fight itself begins.

1 Man Fate Quest - "Knowledge is Power"

Location: A small arena designated area near Little Ala Mhigo

Prefight cutscene dialogue: "At last, I can test the mettle of Hydaelyn's Warrior of Light! I must say, I have read much and heard plenty of your ventures."

*adjusts his spectacles, light reflects the outsides of his glasses as he smirks confidently*

"Yes, I can sense your aether's immense power already..."
"However, my time in military service has shown me a vast assortment of warriors and monsters of such a fitting caliber. Hearken unto my desire, prove your prowess to me oh true Warrior Of Light!"

*unsheathes his rapier and magicked crystal medium, applying them together to toss it into the air, adjusting his collar and catching it back in hand without effort*

"En Garde!"

*music begins, diagonal camera zoom and flash of light zooming in on the fight*

[youtube]RQ8yAEkUUgI[/youtube]

Opening fight dialogue: "Satiate my devotion to Hydaelyn... and do not disappoint."

Aggro dialogue: "As swift as the Lifestream's aether..."

Combat Dialogue:
1. Casting Aero/Spells - "Your distance shall only favor mine advantage."
2. Throughout the fight - "Most impressive, I should expect nothing less!"
3. Gap closer > Retreat > Flare - "An opening... this shall prove to be your downfall."
4. Performing a random aoe - "I will test The Echo's very nature!"

Mid Fight Mechanic: "*pant...* *pant...* You have not broken my composure yet..."
Around 50% hp, he would cast a unique healing spell to recover about 25-30%. Unable to silence/stun through, instant cast.

"Do not falter now... We have only just begun!"

15%-10% hp remaining: "Remarkable... such tactic and form! Your technique supersedes my own..."

5%-1% hp remaining: "Damn... I yield, destined hero of Hydaelyn..."

Conclusion fight cutscene:
*music cuts in, Valic showing a brief tired out motion*

[youtube]-l_6V1BlZa4[/youtube]

"Huff... huff... Such a display Character's name. You truly have pressed my limits and surpassed my ability in combat."

*Valic adjusts his glasses and regains his composure*

"Had I known you were so resilient to the very end, I would have not held back to begin with... I dare say you're a most formidable opponent...."

*Valic turns to a standard pose, then brings a very warm smile to his face*

"But an even greater ally..."

*warrior of light nods his/her head like the emotionless ragdoll he/she is*

"Let us celebrate over a meal shall we? I must record our my deductions from our battle into my journal promptly lest my memory wanes."

PSDuckie · **05-22-2017, 02:47 AM**

Tyll'a would be a two-phase boss.

Phase 1

Stubborn Miqo'te
Â Â T Y L L ' A

Tyll'a fights with his blades and his magitek staff.

Dual Slash: Tyll'a's basic attack. Â Tyll'a slashes at the tank, inflicting damage twice.
Charge: Tyll'a charges at the tank's legs, inflicting damage and a Slow if he hits.
Elemental Blast: Tyll'a uses his magitek staff to send a blast of an element of his choice at the tank.

Strategy: This first phase is a tank-and-spank fight. Â Heal through his attacks and you should have no problem.

At 60% health, Tyll'a transitions to phase two.

Phase 2

Feral Miqo'te
Â T Y L L ' A

Tyll'a no longer uses his magitek staff. Â However, his blade attacks are much faster and randomly attacks other party members in addition to the tank.

Feral Slash: Tyll'a's basic attack. Â Tyll'a slashes at a random party member in range, inflicting damage twice and giving Tyll'a a stack of Feral Rage.
Feral Charge: Tyll'a charges at a random party member's legs, inflicting damage and a Slow if he hits, as well as giving Tyll'a a stack of Feral Rage.
Feral Rage: Gives Tyll'a +1% damage per stack.

Strategy: At this point, the aggro table can go out the window, as all Tyll'a's attacks now hit a random party member, not just the tank. Â The healer will need to keep everyone up, and the tank will need to switch to DPS mode. Â This phase is very much a DPS race, as Feral Rage will quickly overwhelm the party if there isn't enough DPS.

MissBrainProblems · **07-12-2017, 09:55 PM**

This is a good thread. I like this thread.

I doubt that Xau would actually be the boss itself; she'd probably take on more of a role like Edda for the last boss fight of Tam-Tara Hard. Her combat classes are arcanist and scholar, so her boss fight would likely revolve around what she summons, but I don't think it would straight up be carbuncles or faeries, exactly. Let me expound upon my ideas.

Xau's general profession, outside of combat, is actually more of an historian, and she specifically specializes in the history of the Fifth Astral Era; that is, the era when Mhach, Amdapor, and Nym were all at their peaks and engaging in the War of the Magi, and when black, white, and arcane magic were all reaching for higher and higher heights in an attempt to outdo one another in the conflict.

Miss Dolabnha is also a rather... Curious type, to say the least, the kind of person that can't resist pressing that big red button because she just has to know what it does. So, one day, on an expedition into a ruin of the Fifth Astral Era, she finds some dusty old tomes in Amdapor or Mhach or Nym and, oh dear, what does this say? Research into combining the magics of all three magocracies? And no, no dear adventurer, this is not like red magic, this is not like red magic at all. This is talking about combining voidsent and faeries, voidsent and elementals, faeries and elementals.

Any sane person would tuck such a tome away into the depths of a library and never open it again. Xau, though? Too curious. Far too curious. She knows, though, that those close-minded imbeciles around her wouldn't allow such a thing, so she takes residence deep within some Amdaporian, Nymian, or Mhachian ruin, and starts her experiments.

After a while, though, the locals would doubtlessly notice some horrific abominations starting to creep out of said ruin, and would request somebody to go in and find out what's happening!

And that's where the party of adventurer's come in. Descending into this ruin and fighting off chimerical monsters that combine void and elemental, faerie and void, faerie and elemental.

First boss of the dungeon: Triple carbuncle fight - Emerald, Topaz, and Ruby, but all corrupted with void energy. Each would function as they normally do when summoned by an arcanist - Emerald for ranged attacks and knockback; Topaz for melee and stun; Ruby for melee and DoTs. There might be some other mechanics, but the big challenge would just be fighting three at once. I'd say that only Topaz has an aggro table, and the other function as independent enemies that only do AoEs; Emerald's would be telegraphed, but Ruby's wouldn't be.

Second boss of the dungeon: A horrific combination of a voidsent and an elemental, gone completely mad from the anathemic joining. The major mechanic of the boss fight is keeping it balanced between void and elemental energy; as long as there's an equal amount of black and white mana flowing through it, it can't use either effectively because the two forces are fighting each other within; if the balance tips too far to either end, though, then it can start using strong black or white magic attacks depending on how it's tipped. Maybe something to do with preventing adds from touching it, or some kind of tethered orbs, or something along those lines.

Miniboss: Every dungeon needs a miniboss between the second and third bosses! An opal carbuncle - a carbuncle infused heavily with holy magic; standard enemy, but strong and with a few AoE attacks.

Final boss: Xau, with both Eos and Selene forms of her faerie; Eos has been strongly infused with white magic, and Selene has been strongly infused with black magic, turning them into completely different beings than their normal faerie forms.

1. The faeries have no aggro table, and instead roam around the arena on their own as they cast a LOT of AoEs.

2. The arena is divided into black and white sides. Eos can only be harmed when she's on the black side, and Selene can only be harmed when she's on the white side; otherwise, they're invulnerable. There would be some ways to force them to one side or the other, ideally, maybe some interactable objects.

3. Damage needs to be split roughly evenly between them; if one of them is much more damaged than the other, then the other will heal them up.

4. Did I mention lots of AoEs?

This post is kind of dumb in retrospect but I spent too long writing it to scrap it all so HERE YOU GO.

EDIT: During her personal boss fight, she'd probably be saying a lot of stuff like "YOU'RE INTERRUPTING MY RESEARCH!" and "NARROW-MINDED FOOLS, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!", and lots of ~MAD SCIENTIST~ stuff like that.

Kieron Lohengrin · **07-12-2017, 10:46 PM**

probably something like sam

Aziraya · **07-16-2017, 04:26 PM**

There would be two ways to win my character's boss fight. One is a kind of shortcut/Easter egg, the other is the general fighting and killing way.
