Ashen Crypt

The Yoked Twins

Lives in: OssuaryHealth: 6345

Two skeletons under one yoke, each with its own health. A twin knocked down kneels and rises again after a few seconds, unless you knock the other down before it does.

Phases

1
Phase 1Starts at 100% health left, about 6345
2
Phase 2: The yoke tightensStarts at 66% health left, about 4188
3
Phase 3: One carries the otherStarts at 33% health left, about 2094

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. 2350 × 2.7 = 6345.

Story

Two Ossuary Wardens, twins, yoked by the Order to carry bones up the stair two at a time. Each envied the other the lighter end until they died in the yoke. They cannot fall apart: kill one and the other lifts him back up.

Attacks

Tether

A dashed line between them flickers, then burns while they wheel around the room. Go around the ends or dash through it.

Slam

A circle in front of each twin, then the blow. Later more circles of bone between them.

Throw

Staggered fans of bones.

Yoke down

A lane along the yoke, then they drop it. Later cross lanes too.

Charge and orbit

Second phase: they line up across your path and run at you with the tether live. Last phase: one twin anchors while the other circles it, and the tether never rests.
