Bosses
Every demon: phases, tells, cheese that works, difficulty rated honestly.
Boss master table (key 10; difficulty = week-one community average)
| Boss | Region | Diff | Core mechanic | One-line strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dungeon Warden | Dungeon F6 | ★★☆ | Parry window | Shield raised 2s → ground slam → 3s recovery is your only window |
| The Howling Bishop | Temple depth | ★★☆ | Sanity drain | Never fight below 30 sanity — lap the arena first, restore, then engage |
| The Sand Leech | Desert | ★★★ | Subterranean ambush | Toss coins to mark the sand — it bites the coin, surfaces 4s, unload everything |
| Twin Wraiths | Haunted ruins | ★★★ | Linked health bars | Must die within 10s of each other — bring burst, never attrition |
| Eclipse Knight | Desert night | ★★★ | Backstab only | Frontal immunity. Its shadow turns faster than it does — follow the shadow |
| The Bell Keeper | Ruins bell tower | ★★☆ | Chime interrupt | Rings every 30s; stop attacking 3s before — the chime HEALS it |
| Furnace Warden | Hell gate | ★★★★ | Unlit arena | 2x oil burn. Bring double oil or darkness is the real final boss |
| Abyss Chanter | Hell mid | ★★★★ | Hex reflection | Its spells are siphonable (hex mage gift) — other builds: dodge honestly |
| ??? (the statue line) | Dungeon F1 return | ★★★★★ | Story-gated | Zero clears in week one. See Lore — if the floor-one statue is really it |
| The Demon Lord | Bottom of the abyss | ★★★★★ | Three phases | The graduation exam. Three reached it in week one; zero cleared |
The cheese archive (works, not proud)
Dungeon Warden
Cheese: Pillar-hug at the gate: his slam never reaches behind the pillar
Verdict: Works, slow. Every user admits "I could not, and I accept"
Origin: Day 1 discovery, 400+ users since
Howling Bishop
Cheese: Enter at full sanity and NEVER attack — he drains himself into the scripted retreat
Verdict: Dev replied online: "...does that count?" It counts. It is a mechanic
Origin: Bug-or-feature party, Day 1
Sand Leech
Cheese: Bring 200 gold, throw constantly — coin-biting outlasts you-biting
Verdict: The priciest cheese: 200 gold per fight. Also genuinely damage-free
Origin: Coin gang, Day 2
Twin Wraiths
Cheese: None. Linked bars exist precisely to prevent this
Verdict: The only no-cheese row. Practice your burst rotation
