OKAYYYY I DO NOT FEEL GOOD...
Welcome to Ancient Aspid, a boss that I KNOW will continue to put me on edge for the next couple of days...

A completely NEW modded boss that can take you hourss to complete (I would know, it took me 3...)
There's so many new things in this fight, it's INSANE.
The fact the entire arena is so large alone, already makes it a new breath of fresh air... kind of...

The attacks of the boss, in short, are ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL. The further into the fight, the more you will be bombarded by new and more powerful attacks, and without actual attention to learning the moves, you will spend no less than 2 hours for the fight.

One attack that's a massive threat during the entire fight is the sweeping beam which goes across the arena, and without good timing for shade cloak, it's an instant loss of 2 masks.
The 2 climbing phase also has a variation of that attack, which activates after a wind-up beam.
But it doesn't become a problem, at least not until the very last part of the climb, where you have to deal with a vetical section. Either good timing or ddark (if you even have soul at this point) is useful.

The flashing laser attack on the final phase is also such a nightmare to deal with... and it's the main reason why I decided to equip Baldur Shell, it was really just to have a better chance of surviving the lasers...
I found one way to kind of dodge the attack, which was to... run and dash repeatedly. I think it depends on the timing of the first dash, but I didn't have much time to spare, so I had to use Shell... I'll definitely look into it more tho!

I will say, there are some glitches that can happen during the fight - which @erikyes felt VERY pleased to capitalize on :) - but by the time of this clear, it's only been out for less than a day, so a fixed patch should be expected.

Not much else to say about the boss, so I'll discuss the charm that you get after the fight:
...



It's horrible.

Anyway, MASSIVE props to 4thNoah for the art, Nickc01 for the coding, and Thanatonaut for the sounds!!!
You guys did a GREAT job!
