May I ask you guys p.n ... what the heck are you talking about? p.O

I would probably be a roarmulus twin. When I solo, I move considerably slowly through levels to avoid getting hurt as much as possible, but I also like playing with my friend who has a habit of damaging me with explosives accidentally.

My dream for a Core boss is a little unrealistic, but still my fantasy is:

King Tinkinzar sitting on his throne with a door behind him locked. I'm unsure of the boss fight itself but it would be way and above the difficulty of the other bosses. So much so that it would require a coordinated team of knights who play together to even attempt to take him down. Perhaps even elements of the battle would change every week as to deter any 1 equipment set from always bringing him down. Furthermore he could only be taken down by one group of knights per week after which his throne would be empty but the door still locked.

But the group who takes him down receive an Artifact, basically a key to the locked door which gets removed every week from their arsenals. Inside the room? The mechanisms which create the Clockworks. And the group of knights gets to create an entire Clockworks depth/stratum/gate (un-sure what choice) through a sort of level creator/editor. This would allow for new game material to come every week from the minds of the players. Furthermore I don't believe that it would be incredibly difficult to make a level creator for this game.

So yeah, my fantasy.

I'd be "the secret optional boss" of Aurora Isles, dressed in full Deadly Virulisk gear.

The arena would take place in a HUGE open space with no traps at all except a TINY bit of brambles at the very edges for asthetic effect.

My battle would be in two phases. First phase: 100 (count 'em) Tier 3 Chromalisks would spawn at the borders of the huge arena and bull-rush the players in the center, all with 2x their standard Hit Points. Some would be elemental status; most would be normal. I would just watch the battle out of range of the players.

Then once there were only about 10-20 of the Chromalisks left, Phase 2 would start in which I join in the fight to pick off the exhausted party. Players could expect my fighting style to sorta be like that of the Graveyard Phantoms, only at a higher speed, higher reaction times, and a LOT more randomized. I would attempt to dodge sword and gun attacks sometimes by leaping clear halfway across the arena, and sometimes I would attack in the same way; my "broadcast" would start up even though I was nowhere near the players, followed by a RIDICULOUS full-screen lunge and a combo. Knights would all be badly Poisoned upon being hit by any of my melee attacks. Some of my dodges would also include frontflips over the players' heads (to get on their other side), or snakelike lunges left, right, or forward/backward at an angle. Some of my Sword combos would end in a 360-hitting attack, making cautious combat a necessity even if coming up from behind.

In addition to my sword, I'd have a Tail Swipe attack, that's lightning fast/hard to predict and has a very wide hitbox, in addition to causing Stun and serious knockback unless Shielded. But it is not very damaging. Tail Swipe would make players very vulnerable to sword attacks though.

I wouldn't have a whole lot of health for a boss, though I'd be hard to hit. I'd be immune to Poison and Sleep, and would recover from other status in half the time. Curse would still be the most effective status on me as far as damage; Freeze would prevent me from dodging, but after taking one hit from a player's sword combo I would break and dodge the other two. Stun would open me up to hits the best of all, so Stun would probably be the best status to try and inflict, giving Haze Bombs a fantastic chance to shine here. I would count as a "half Beast" monster; Piercing attacks would deliver 1.25x damage, Elemental would deliver 0.75x damage. Swords like the Wild Hunting Blade or any UV with a bonus against Beasts would be half as effective on me compared to typical Wolvers or Chromas.

Once down to low health, I'd get a new trick and start teleporting around mid-slashes like a Wolver Alpha that's been lit on fire.

My death animation would be a dramatic stumble backwards and a kneel in slow motion, before suddenly laying a (harmless) Venom Veiler bomb and vanishing into thin air in the green mist (like a ninja smoke bomb thing, I guess). In my place would be revealed a cache of "Jade Reptile" tokens, which could be traded for pre-double/triple-UV'd Hunting Blades and Vile Strikers, new armor, helms and shields giving bonuses against Beasts (or penalties, but great stats), and of course, fanfics about Chromalisks. ^^

Yeah..this final boss which you want in the story will never happen, because as soon as you put in a final boss 6 months after the game opened you have effectively ended the story way too soon. Even if they do open the Core which I doubt they will, they will find someway to extend the story way past the Core, otherwise this game story is going to end way too quick.

I am pretty sure the Final Boss will just be Nick with a Bazooka.
