World Silent Expanse Boss Altar: Witnesses' Watchtower (lv 100+)

Currently, the Silent Expanse does not have a boss altar. For an endgame area like itself, I think it's only fitting for it to have one.


Overview:
Boss Atlar Name: Witnesses' Watchtower
Location: Eyeball Forest, near All Seeing Witnesses grind spot
Appearance: One of the large, dark spikes covering most of Silent Expanse. The inside is carved out with eyes peeking outside, and a large platform is crudely built on top.


Details:
Item Requirements: 2x Dark Iris
Hint: Of the eyes peeking out from the tower, two of them appear darkened
Arena Layout: Mostly dark and flat, except for five large red spikes spaced throughout the arena. The arena itself isn't large, but isn't small either. Compare to Orange Wybel and Prison of Souls.


Boss Fight:

Spoiler: Boss

Boss Name: Overseer's Myrmidon [Level 110]
Boss Appearance: A vaguely spider shaped creature, but instead of a normal abdomen and head, there's a large eye that changes appearance based on phase.

Spoiler: First Phase

Phase One:

Every time the boss drops down by 100k hp, minions spawn in groups of 3-4 each

Boss appears as a creepy spider with a large, bloodshot eye for a body. It has a rapid skittering animation for its movements.

Spoiler: Second Phase

Phase Two:

New Mechanic: Gaze. Every 20-30 seconds, the boss will summon an eye in the center of the arena which stares at the player (guardian laser, unaffected by vanish). If the player fails to hide behind one of the five spikes in the arena when four seconds have passed, they will be petrified and unable to move, attack or cast spells (no mana usage). If the player is currently in a dangerous location (where they’ll get petrified if time runs out), an indicator will flash on screen). The default length of petrification is six seconds, which can be shortened if the player spams spells (which don’t do anything except shorten the duration by half a second for each spell). This attack comes with a burst of minions, double the normal size.

Text: The Peering Oculus stares intently at you. Break the gaze before it's too late!

Indicator: [!!!]

Text: You’ve been petrified! Cast spells to break out of the effect!

The spikes around the stadium serve a purpose for defending against the gaze attack. The spike used to break the gaze will be destroyed, and an eye will be visible underneath. These spikes can be rebuilt if the player right clicks the eyes with the Sizzling Coagulants dropped by minions. It takes one the first time, two the second, three the third, and so on. This increase is individual among each one, so if the player is careful about which spike they use, they can avoid inflating the prices too much.

Text: The gaze seems to have destroyed the spike. Perhaps it can be rebuilt with the eye underneath if you use a coagulant of some kind...

Appearance: The boss’s body (a large eye) is cut open, revealing many smaller eyes within. It gains a redder tint.

Spoiler: Third Phase

Phase Three:

The last real phase. Gaze mechanic ends. Minions no longer spawn. Arena size reduced to just a bit larger than Death Metal, blocked off by blood-like growths. Boss is locked into the center of the arena. The health bar is replaced with a timer that ticks down from thirty seconds. Boss model gradually becomes more damaged, losing limbs, and melting down into a puddle. At the same time, the boss gradually becomes weaker every five seconds.

Every five seconds, one of the spikes break down. All five are up at the beginning.

Every three seconds, an eye will appear that rolls around the stage and bounces off walls, moving at a speed about equal to 0.75x sprinting. Getting hit by it will deal 20% maximum health (affected by def and agi).

Spoiler: Fourth Phase

Fourth Phase:

Arena is damaged and completely wrecked. All of the blood-like growths from phase three are gone, with only little patches remaining. The spikes are snapped in half, laying on the ground.

The boss’s appearance is drastically different from the first two phases, now being what looks like a crushed smudge with a few vaguely leg-like appendages sticking out.

Near the edge of the arena is a void hole that warps you back to the entrance.

Note: I understand that this may include mechanics that are not possible for current wynn. This was more or less something I did for fun, and what I would do if I were in charge of making a boss altar for Silent Expanse.

Please leave feedback.

please though can we have a silent expanse boss altar?

 

i see you sneaking in an epic etw helmet
edit: WHYYY are triclops defenses not 133/163/193
WHYYY is it 163/133/193

 

man Assassin just screwing stuff up all the time, making 1st spell cost OP on some classes and basically useless on others

 

Rework spin into a completely utility-centric spell when :>

 

And leave Assassin with a trash tier 3rd spell?

Easier solution imo is to swap Spin to 3rd spell and Multihit to 1st spell, and swap the Blindness from Spin to Multi.

 

Didn't salted say they didn't want to do this? Or was that someone else? Idk anyway someone said it

 

Boss seems a tad too hard but I do like the idea of a boss alter in silent expanse +1

 

Oh great, its Pathogenesis except it's an actual threat

 

besides the unique gaze mechanic, the idea behind this boss was mostly centered around patterns.

if you look at the spells, you'll notice that basically every combo starts with a non-damaging spell. this serves as a warning for a damaging spell or spell combo. in the case that it doesn't, the spell has more or less just minor damage.

pull usually = spell with max damage potential at close range like multihit, explosion, wave, etc
push usually = an approach spell like heavy charge
and so on

furthermore, the boss wont cast any spells for a while after some combos, giving the player time to rack up damage

in other words, playing against this boss will, yes, take a higher degree of skill, but should be more consistent compared to others because of its degree of predictability.

the boss also has no regen unlike many other bosses, making draining the more than 1 million hp less of a task.

 

very solid stuff, some things here already scare me as a gm (hi bouncing eye) but it's very well designed

 

very good boss idea yes

 

Wow very cool boss idea! I do think the drops should include one more item and two ingredients or somthin but for real great idea 10/10!

 

Really solid stuff, honestly. I’d love to see this in game and i would imagine it’d be really fun, but the eo key drop seems a bit cheap and out of the blue, guardians aren’t that rare. Otherwise, really good.
