A twist on the SK plotline: the lost Alpha Squad as a boss.
Since we only know of the Alpha Squad via recon modules, we can assume they are still down in the clockworks. Also, as people have suggested in the Treasure-Vault/ General forums, Alpha squad has possibly been corrupted (similar concept to Trojans) or captured by King Tinkinzar. SO... What if knights encountered them in the clockworks? Instead of having 1 big boss, you have the 4 mini bosses (sort of), each with their own unique abilities, etc.
Euclid, leader:
- Uses average speed sword/ swords, bombs, and guns?... fighting style up for discussion?
Parma, scout:
- Uses bombs/ guns; can teleport around the room similar to snarby/ wolvers, basically kiting the players. Can only be attacked when stunned/ hit w/ a status effect from vials or map features (beast bell, or by activating elemental grates)
Rulen, technician:
-Uses bombs; doesn't directly attack player, sets up mecha-knights or other kinds of contruct related monsters to harass the player, will send out waves of monsters, and players must defeat/ avoid mobs in order to reach the boss himself, possibly with various switches,etc around the room which make it more difficult to reach him
Grantz, guardian:
-Uses a slow sword (like DA, etc); slightly immune to all, has a one-sided shield (like trojans), makes him invulnerable. Moves slowly but has extremely powerful attack which can cause stun (like lumbers). Immune to status effects (otherwise would be too similar to trojans) Requires teamwork to fight?
Alternative idea: Is completely invincible when using shield, players must break down shield by using the exploding blocks scattered throughout the room, only then can they directly attack.
(Note: Not necessarily in this order)
Also, maybe not fight all of them, but randomly chosen to fight 1 of the 4... Possible rewards are weapons unique to each boss
Just my idea, plz contribute your own!!
I actually like it, it would be a pretty cool boss fight this way. Also, where would the fight be? Maybe this boss could be the first from the Core, if it were to also have 3 "tiers".... being first 1 this (the Core clockworks?) the 2nd one King Trikinzar (Crimson Court after it?) and the 3rd one the "entity" (inside the power source to purify it? )?
I think that this boss could get you fighting more members depending on how big is your party, and if you are 4 people you would fight the entire Alpha Squad at once. Though if each member was a super-duper-powered version of us, maybe scrap this and they should come out 1 by 1 with Euclid as the last one.
