Layout:
-Four skilling Nodes in each corner, Hunter (Blue), Mining (yellow), Woodcutting (red) and Fishing (green) each containing 3 main nodes and 3 secondary gathering Nodes. Main Nodes will rotate during the fight, Prioritize the sparkling Node (If unable, Gather from the other colored Node) Not The Rotted (Black) one. When harvested the Black one will produce Rotted Fungus and heal the Node. Once the main Node is depleted they will all turn black, and can then be Rotted with 10 Rotten Fungus.
-Pathways, There are 4 pathways between skilling Nodes. Fungi Maze and Mushroom Hurdles, In the Fungi Maze you must not walk on Mushrooms following a clear path. If you walk on Mushrooms you will be damaged and a piece of your Fungus will be Rotted for every Mushroom you walk on. Bladed Dive and Surge are your friends here. You can clear half of the maze with a single Surge (Make sure to Surge to a clear location, or Surge after you walk halfway through) If possible, stand on one edge and simply Surge-Bladed Dive to clear the field in a tick.
In Fungi Hurdles you must only cross over the sparkling Mushrooms (they rotate from time to time) If you cross a Black Mushroom you will be damaged and Rot a piece of your Fungus.
-Croesus, Four Statues and Storage box. Each Statute requires 30 resources, 15 from each node one clockwise and opposite (Two Nodes clockwise), to be restored. Once restored they are then ready to be prayed to open Croesus' Core (All Statues Must be Restored Before Praying), The Core will be one of the skilling Nodes at random. Whilst the Core is open you must DPS (Click the Core once to start, Then proceed to click on every green sparkle and yellow sparkle to earn extra points and more DPS, Do Not Click Red Sparkles These will heal Croesus. Storage containers allow you to store your gathered fungus.

Mechanics:
-Cloud: Slams hands on ground, and a Cloud appears where the player was standing at that time, Standing in this cloud will damage you.
-Fairy Ring: Teleports the player to a random location if you are standing in it as it vanishes. (Turns one Fungus into Rotten)
-Slimes: Orange Slimes are hurdled towards random players, These will follow you and deal great damage if you get caught.
-Stun: Croesus hurdles a red blob at random players, if hit you will be stunned and must use Freedom to avoid damage asap. It is also possible to Anticipate/Freedom early to avoid being stunned.
-Sticky Fungus: Croesus will spawn Sticky fungus under random players feet. If caught you must click it immediately to avoid damage (Requires Logs, Fyrtorch or Orthan Core to Burn)
-Energy Fungus (Mid): Spawns at 2:20 Four fungus blobs will spawn around Croesus' base, you must remove these immediately. If not removed in time Croesus will gain 40% Rot energy.
Taking damage from any of these attacks will contribute to Croesus' Enrage, when 100% the Kill is a Fail.
