Bosses

Map of the boss progression:

The Decaying King

Once a powerful ruler who attempted to make order in the chaos lands that is The Nether, was cursed by what he thought was his allies. His kingdom was sieged and fell under the lava sea, and the King could only watch helplessly while his mind and body was slowly withering away.

The Decaying King spawns in the remnants of the Decaying Kingdom in the nether. This cursed monstrosity wields The Darkin Blade, and has many deadly attacks to look out for. It will heal when his non-projectile attacks land, equal to: damage dealt / 5 + 2 * number of nearby attackers. Killing it makes it drop the Darkin Blade, a Lord Soul and the Withered Demon Heart. He can be re-summoned by right clicking the Blackstone Pedestal with the Withered Demon Heart in hand.

Attacks:

• Sword Slam: The Decaying King quickly charges up his blade and slams it into the ground, dealing damage to all targets where the last target stood. This is one of his main close range attacks, and will do this quite frequently. Damage: 30

• Fire Barrage: The Decaying King charges up, then unleashes a mass of fire balls at the target from it's mouth.

• Wither Barrage: Just like Fire Barrage, it charges up and unleashes a horde of Shadow Orbs at the target, applying Wither and Decay on targets hit.

• Detonation: The Decaying King folds his arms together, charging up for an explosion around him, knocking away and damaging all nearby mobs. Damage: 50

• Spin: The Decaying King spins his arms around, knocking away anything in it's path far away. Be careful not to get hit into the lava! Damage: 10

• Pull: The Decaying King pulls the target into him from afar, a setup for his next attack. Damage: 5

• Magma Burst: The Decaying King smashes the ground, summoning lava around it for the next 3 seconds.

The Old Champion's Remains & The Frenzied Shade

His descendants thought he would rest peacefully here without any interruption... how wrong they were...

A boss spawning in the Old Champion's Graves, this skeleton figure has been possessed by another being, namely The Frenzied Shade. His attacks revolve around if he is guarded or not with the shield, switching between the shielding stances with the attacks. When in the defensive state, he is slower, but will take reduced damage from all sources. Additionally, it has other passive effects, both good and bad.

• Responsive Aggression: If the user attempts to heal through eating or drinking mid-battle, the champions attack cooldown will be set to 0, and it will use the most optimal distance-closing attack, like Shield Vault or Rush Down, so be wary of how close you are to the boss when healing!

• Adaptive Force: Make sure not to whack at it with the same weapon either, because after a set number of attacks from the same weapon, the champion will turn resistant and exponentially reduce the damage of the next attacks (Tip! Trickweapons work great against this), you will hear a metal sound when hitting the boss if he is starting to get resistant. The damage taken after reduction is equal to: amount * (1f / 1.07f) ^ x where x is equal to number of hits taken from same weapon since growing resistant.

• Frost Moon: If you manage to lure him under the open sky, he will be slowed and weakened. When reaching half health, the Old Champion will stagger, and rise again stronger than before, no longer gaining negative effects under the open sky, and instead gaining Speed and Strength.

After killing the Old Champion, it will drop the Draugr sword, and the Frenzied Shade will spawn. This creature is the one possessing the Lord Soul, so make sure to stay alert when killing the Old Champion! He can be re-summoned by right clicking the Old Moon Altar with the Draugr sword, this will not consume the weapon.

Shield Up Attacks:

• Shield Bash: The Old Champion will slam his shield at his foe, not dealing much damage, but knocking it back far away. Damage: 10
• Sword Thrust: The Old Champion will thrust his trusty sword Draugr at the target with increased range, dealing high damage. Damage: 20
• Shield Vault: The champion jumps at the target, crippling it for a few seconds, then lowers his shield. Damage: 10
• Sword Leap: The champion lunges at the target with his sword, dealing large amounts of damage. Damage: 20
• Ground Decimation: The champion smashes the ground with his shield, knocking away enemies while lowering his guard afterwards. Damage: 8
• Parry: The champion parries the target, then follows up with a counter attack. Damage: 18 (without Posture Break damage)

Shield Down Attacks:

• Rush Down: The champion runs a small distance while charging up his thrust attack. Damage: 16, 5 seconds Bleed
• Fearsome Swipes: The champion swipes his sword left to right, then follows up with a thrust. Damage: 16 each swipe
• Heavy Blow: The champion charges his sword back before slamming it into the ground, dealing heavy AOE damage. Damage: 25
• Backstep: The champion jumps backwards, lifting his shield up afterwards. He is more willing to do this if the opponent is wielding a ranged weapon.
• Battle Cry: The champion slams his sword against his shield, affecting all nearby mobs with Slowness and Weakness, then brings up his guard.

The Frenzied Shade

The Frenzied Shade is a cursed and powerful soul, banished from it's former body, who mistakenly possessed the Old Champion. It flies and can move through any block. At half health the shade duplicates itself, summoning 4 other Frenzied Shades with 1/4th of the originals health and only 35% damage, but other than the stats, their attacks and looks will still be the same. Attacks:

• Lunar Swipes: The Frenzied Shade charges up and swipes twice, dealing hefty damage and slowing the target. Damage: 20, Slowness: IV (2 seconds)
• Moon Wave: The shade throws a large vertical moonlight projectile at the target. Damage: 25
• Shadow & Moonlight: The shade shoots a barrage of shadow orbs, some applying darkness, while other applies wither and decay. At the last second of the attack, the shade swipes swiftly, shooting a horisontal moonlight projectile. Moonlight Damage: 18
• Soul Outbreak: The shade flies into the air, then swiftly strikes down at a target area, creating a soul explosion, dealing heavy damage. Damage: 25
• Charge: The shade charges at the main target, damaging anything in it's path, along with a harder hitting swipe at the end. Damage: 12, 18 for last swipe

The Returning Knight & The Fallen Icon

Once a respected champion of moonlight, turned to a darker power when he threw away his legendary blade, The Moonlight Greatsword. He coated himself in dark runes, making him both impenetrable and reflect any projectile away from his armor, but in doing so, his body and armor merged and his soul was rejected, turning into a dark, twisted creature, a mere husk of raw power, roaming the lands. His armor is now a prison for it's remaining forces of moonlight, a puppet being controlled by the dark power of the underworld the owner coated it with, and now, this behemoth wields the great mace Nightfall.

The Returning Knight is a slow, but hard hitting boss with a few attacks up his sleeve. First of all, all projectiles around him will have no effect on him, and will rather be reflected back in the direction they came from, so be careful with that Hunter Cannon! At half health, he will use his last forces of moonlight to be Unbreakable, slamming his arm on his chest, gaining Resistance. After killing The Returning Knight, he will drop moonstone, Nightfall, a Lord Soul and the Arkenstone. He can be summoned by using a Lost Soul on the Old Moon Altar.

Attacks:

• Children of the Grave: The Returning Knight slams his mace Nightfall into the ground, summoning a random amount of Remnants and Dark Sorcerers.

• Obliterate: The Returning Knight charges up Nightfall over two seconds, then slams it into the ground on the targets last position when he started charging, dealing massive damage and knocking up all targets hit. This attack takes a while for him to charge up ,so you have plenty of time to evade it. If not, then prepare for ridiculous amounts of damage, even with full protection 4 Netherite armor! Damage: 60

• Blinding Light: The Returning Knight quickly sweeps his left arm on the target, Blinding, Slowing and knocking it back if it hits. Damage: 10

• Mace of Spades: The Returning Knight swiftly swipes away enemies, then follows up with a lighter, but quicker Obliterate attack. Damage: 20 first strike, 25 second strike

• Eruption: The Returning Knight prepares for an attack that affects all mobs around, slamming his mace Nightfall in the ground three times. The two first are a sign of warning, but the third he will use more force on, smashing Nightfall into the ground causing huge eruptions on all targets around him, even his own minions, dealing damage and knocking them up high in the air. Damage: 30

The Fallen Icon

By using the Essence of Eventide on the Old Moon Altar, you will return the true heir back to it's original body. This will result in the summoning of the Fallen Icon, a fierce empowered version of the Returning Knight with a fast and dangerous second phase. When summoned, Unbreakable will be used right away, affecting all nearby players with Weakness, Nausea and Slowness. The boss does not get any bonus Resistance unlike Returning Knight, and since the true soul has been returned to the vessel, some of the dark power has been slightly suppressed, making the boss unable to reflect projectiles, but it is still immune to them! Upon it's death, it will drop the Essence of Luminescence, the crafting recipe for creating the Pure Moonlight Greatsword.

Changes to Phase 1:

• Blinding Light is changed to a ground slam AOE attack Damage: 20

• Eruption does not target allied summons Damage: 35

• Children of the Grave summons only Netherite Armored Remnants with Protection II

• Obliterate is slightly faster Damage: 50

• Mace of Spades is unchanged Damage: 20 first hit, 25 second hit

When entering the second phase, the Icon will go back to ol' reliable, dragging the Moonlight Greatsword out of the ground to fight by his side one last time, he will then become the Harbinger of Moonlight.

• Blinding Light: Just like phase 1, but will also summon a circle of Moonlight Spears that shoots out. Damage: 20 for AOE blast, 15 for projectiles

• Moonfall: Charges up the greatsword over a long while, before slamming it down on, causing ground ruptures behind the target area Damage: 65 where sword lands, 30 for each eruption

• Moonveil: Gathers the greatsword and all it's strength before penetrating it in the ground, causing an explosion around it, then after a short time, it will push it deeper into the ground, causing a second explosion to happen Damage: 50

• Sword of Light: The Icon readies the sword before swinging it 5 times, each swing shooting out a Moonlight Projectile, with the last swing smashing the ground, summoning a large vertical Moonlight Projectile that deals massive damage. Damage: 25 for both sword swipes and projectiles

• Core Beam: The Icon takes a breather, then unleashes a large beam that summons explosions on the target area, before coming to a halt and resting for a second. Damage: 20 (not including explosion)

• Thrust: The Icon readies his blade, then thrusts it at the target, applying Cursed Wounds if the target was hit. Damage: 50

The Monarch of Chaos

The Monarch of Chaos is a powerful mage wielding the accursed wand, the Withered Wabbajack. Additionally, it wears both the Crown of Chaos and the Cape of Chaos, two items that that will be dropped upon it's death with the Withered Wabbajack. It can be summoned by using the Shard of Uncertainty (which is dropped by the Wither) on the Blackstone Pedestal block. The Monarch of Chaos is a fast attacking and chaotic boss, hence it's name, being immune to lightning and having it's attack cooldown reduced lower and lower based on it's missing health. Thanks to the Cape of Chaos, it turns all Grass Blocks around it into Withered Grass Blocks, which will continuously inflict the Decay status effect on all entities standing on them. On non-player entities, they will also take high Wither damage, while players will have their armor quickly deteriorate and fall apart, meanwhile thanks to the Crown of Chaos, the boss itself will heal small amounts on this zone. Only Grass Blocks will be turned into Withered Grass Blocks. Now, onto it's chaotic move-set:

• Cripple: The Monarch of Chaos will swing it's staff left to right, then thrust it's staff forward, with a following smash attack right after. It will deal more and more damage with each combo, while having the hitbox reduced in size.

Damage: Swipe -> 15, Thrust -> 20, Bonk -> 30

• Chaos Skulls: The Monarch of Chaos swipes it's staff in the air, shooting continuous Chaos Skulls at the target. These skulls function just like the Withered Wabbajack's own projectile. They will have random amounts of chance to inflict random effects on the target, while dealing random damage, while also having random chances to spawn either explosions, entities, lightning bolts... you get the picture.

• Lightning Call: The Monarch swirls it's staff in the air, then summons lightning bolts around itself, spreading outward three times.

• Barrage: The Monarch points it's staff on to the target, shooting either lots of random projectiles, ranging from tridents, arrows, moonlight beams to even eggs or snowballs, or it will shoot a barrage of the same projectile, which include everything from experience bottles, arrows to a barrage of seeking shulker projectiles.

• Teleportation or Obliteration: The Monarch will channel it's wand, summoning portal particles in a circle around itself, then smashing the ground to either teleport away to a new location, or summon a massive soul explosion that will damage all targets too close. Damage: 30

Day Stalker & Night Prowler

Two deities representing day and night, light and dark. Once prayed to by the ancient kind, these two gods will each be empowered based on the time of day, and will switch between flying above the target and staying on the ground. Once one of them dies, the other will be enraged, being permanently empowered, entering phase two and gaining new attacks. They can be summoned by throwing the Chaos Orb into the sky. They will only drop their soul if they were in phase two.

An homage to Carpenter Brut's banger songs.
