The Sevenfold Choir
The Precentor stands in the loft behind seven singers, one for each Kindling from Spark to Dawn. He takes half damage while any singer lives.
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. 2900 × 5.4 = 15660.
Attacks
A singer glows and lifts its head, then sings its own note: Spark a ring of sound, Wick three heavy notes, Flame a wide fan, Blaze pillars of light, Pyre a line of fire, Star notes that follow you, Dawn a sweeping beam.
From the second form two singers are cued together. Neighbours in the scale also burst a ring of notes between them.
Last form: every third measure all the living voices sing one after another.
A ring marks the lowest voice still singing. Silence that one and the Precentor reels, stunned. Silence another and the rest answer with a dissonant ring.
How to win
- Silence the singers in order, Spark first: each one in order stuns him.
- Every singer you silence takes a share of the Precentor's health with it.
- With all seven gone he sings their notes himself, more of them later on, but takes full damage.
