I was looking at the Haven Fountain just now, and I thought to myself:
It would be nice if we could actually have water type dungeons.
And then it hit me.
A whole new water element, and a water type boss (like how Lord Vanaduke is in Fire stratum) (it would probably be classed as Fiend).

The boss would be completely unhittable, and the way to hit him is to turn on a cryogenics machine by... idk various switch?
And you could attack him only when he is frozen, and he wouldn't have the same weaknesses as Fiend, he would be weak to shadow and resistant to elemental? or probably piercing.

Idk, you discuss.

For a moment I was worried

For a moment I was worried you wanted a new damage type, but a water-themed dungeon could be fine. Boss immune to damage unless frozen, with ways to freeze him on the level... fair enough.

And your token rewards shall be super soakers :O

derp. Overdingle dont troll

derp. Overdingle dont troll at the boy/(or girl maybe). Nice idea +1 from me . But i have better idea. Ya know if OOO decide to open the core for us maybe that boss will be in there awaiting for us. It maybe frozen from 53252 years there (the way u told us we can kill him) . So he was frozen there for 53252 years and now the alpha squad that found a way to enter the core earlier awekens him(and alpha squad probably found their death there lol). So when we enter the core(if OOO open the core) we can find that boss raged and ready to turn ya into a thousands of pieces. Thats my story about the core (and maybe a suggestion of a better place for that boss[wich is a suggestion too obviously]) :P.

LEVEL UP!

+2000 EXP for epic suggestion

1) if there was a new element, there is a good chance that OOO would make a water status condition and vial (what would water even do?). the boss could be an ice type because you can freeze it.

2) the theme of the boss spectrim could be a sewer maze that just thawed out :D . it would also be nice if its a teir 1 boss.

but the water everywhere could cause serious lag

@rbp97ilv why would an ice type monster be weak to it's own element?
You are right about water-like fluids causing a lot of lag in most games but look at haven fountain!

@juances

1) ice is the closest element that the monster would fit in.
2) the splashing effects if a knight steps in water can create lag.
