Bone Colossus
Slow but huge. It walks after you and uses a different move depending on your distance.
Phases
Base health. The game multiplies boss health by 1.8, and by 1 plus 0.5 for every floor of depth, so the real number on its own floor is higher. 1900 × 2.7 = 5130.
Attacks
Fists hit the floor at its feet and a shockwave rolls out. Step back or dash through the wave.
A wide arm cone in front of it. It only uses this when you are close.
The skull flies at you, homes on you and flies back. While the head is gone the body stumbles around and takes 30% more damage. Hit the body then.
From the second phase: ribs fired in fans.
From the second phase: bones crash down around you.
In the last phase the slam and sweep come in chains.
How to win
- Fight at mid range. The sweep cannot reach you, and the slam wave is easy to read.
- When the skull flies out, circle away from it and hit the headless body.
- At two thirds health it collapses into a heap and its bones crawl out. Clear them before it rises.
