Sounds cute...

But I'm not sure the whole 'bomb' thing works well - I do like the Earthscraper and everything else, though. :P
I'm not too keen to work on the lore myself though, but excellent idea. Maybe I can think of something from there.

And yeah, I knew you couldn't. :P

Ah,

I am thinking of a better lore...

I was thinking that the base of the building is at D24 and the top is D29.

Good point

you have a valid point but I like it the way it is but the mug you could make into a bomb like the crystal bomb

More Love to the Idea~

@Atrumvindex: Sounds good; a reverse skyscraper, heheheh~

@Hijadestone: I'm thinking of something for the bombers; at the moment the mug isn't sitting too well as a weapon, per se. As mentioned earlier, if it were a 'weapon costume', maybe it would have some use; right now I'm trying to find a good substitute for the bomb.
Unless of course, you have an idea of how to turn a coffee mug with LIKE A BOSS embedded on it into a bomb.

A good and a creative idea!
Although I'd hate a lot of flying diskettes, monitors, chairs and etc. aimed for you. >.>

OOOH! A new Idea!

The CEO recently took over the 'Earthscraper' which was owned by Kroggmo untill a violent suing happened. Krogmo was mad, and decided to blackmail the order. If he doesn't get the Office back, he will stop doing the events.

Hahaha, sounds interesting enough~

TIME FOR A CORPORATE TAKEOVER~ :3

Heheh, great idea though! :D Would be interesting to see the 'great powers' fighting for a change.

Bump.

During the room before the final boss room, there should be a fallen knight spawned. Basicaly, devilites were working on creating a powerful trojan based on one of the legions of Ur.

This was the final design by fusing a trojan woth a guardian.

@Atrumvindex : Fallen knight made by devilites sounds epic

@Atrumvindex & Serell:

I'm pretty open to a miniboss before the actual boss itself - might justify a boosted crown reward for completing the levels.
That being said though, Trojans are a little overused right now with Arkus as a miniboss on his own; though I'll try to think up something along the lines of the Fallen Knight idea.

In the worst case, I can always think up something to do with Devilites; so far I had an idea for fighting the Board of Executives (comprising several miniboss devilites such as the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Research Officer) , but that seems a little bland at the moment.
If you'd like that though, I could do some work on that as well.

Or....

A large, overpowered, P!ssed off fired Yesman.

Solomon worked for the CEO until the last depth before "The Big Honcho", when he is fired by the CEO for his incopotence. That was rare for a Yesman, but it was for a reason.

Jobless Yesmen become demoic monsters that destroy anything, even its own kind.

The CEO will take solomon and sick him on the knights, with the hope of being rehired.

Attacks:

Throw pitchforks(this is akin to the DA's charge): Shadow stun.

Use axe(three hit home charge)

Peptalk: Heals. Can be interupted

VERY good idea. I'd like to give my BTB a bit more use, Snarby doesn't do it well.

Dude, your ideas, your artwork, your .. your armours.. its freaking awesome dude. I cant come up with ideas like that ever. You should go professional with those ideas. Write stories, animations etc (off-topic)

Well all i can say is, since i really hate fiends i would've given this a -1.
But with the kind of boss armour rewards etc. Im actually gonna give this a
+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 x infinity.
CUZ IT ROCKS MY SOCKS!!

I find it interesting how you would represent our boss. However, the picture of the mighty one seems to lack a bit of... well I know it is a sketch, but do you want to draw the whole body? Anyways, I like this idea and concept you have, and I have some "miniboss" ideas over in the thread you participated in. Can you please sketch out the CEO whole body, please? +1

I'll see if I have time, Undercorper.

Well, maybe. :D
If I do get around to it I'll link it in your thread.
The Mighty One shall rise once more.

Well all i can say is, since i really hate fiends i would've given this a -1.
As would I, but it's about time fiends and shadow equipment got the recognition it deserves.

A large, overpowered, P!ssed off fired Yesman.
Not too sure about that; in retrospect maybe I'll get rid of the miniboss. There's enough mechanics in the levels preceding the boss anyways.

Sullivan's parental unit

Close abyssal... it should be sullivan's parental unit... then sullivan can be the one to give the mission against his own parent because he likes seeing us knights do King Krogmo's bidding and doesn't want his parental to take haven.

You could think of him as the fatter counterpart of Sullivan.

Alright, you guys win. I'll do something about the coffee cup. ><

blurg, projectiles

get rid of the paper planes, Spiral knights already has issues with hit detection, lag and bullet hell.
cut out depth 3 and 4, only vanaduke and shadow liars should have 5 depths and it'll feel pointless/frustrating to verse 4 levels of devilites in a row.
too many "mini games" for a single run. I'd love the bomb throwing mini game but throwing paper at devilites or something sounds pretty tedious as well as "blah blah blah hit detection."

love the desk/flight stages of the boss, keep the spawning healers and devilites but lose the trojans.
"Devilite, Inc." is a great name for this.

(I've been looking at this whole thing as a tier 2 boss, not shadow lair fluster cuck.)
good but too many ideas as well as projectiles going on that I'd be too CBF to try.

N-n-n-necro!

@Kxdx
Spiral Knights doesn't have bullet hell.

The only SL with 5 depths is UFSC. T3 boss strata have 5 depths.

We don't need another T2 boss.

Desc: This is an odd stone found in a devilite office that has the phrase, "LIKE A BOSS" inscribed on it. Interesting.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Hate to necro, but I didn't want to go and make a new thread for this. Yes, I really really really think this game needs a new REAL boss. The last time we had one was ICMF, and that was ages ago.

Also, Shadow Lair of this boss level would be the hardest thing in the whole game for sure. Implementing this would give a challenge for pros, bring back many players (hopefully), and spread out the grinding from just FSC to this. (If you are really good, that is!)

So What if it's a Necro?

I've done it before (on purpose though), but I'm still giving it a +1. I love the Security Fiends. :D Great Names for levels, by the way.

I would certainly enjoy the challenge of doing this.

@Creeperlucario, you don't have to play this boss.

suggest?

maybe it should in some phase spawn those security overtimers? :3

I made a fire themed Pit Boss.

He runs around really fast dropping Shadow Fire wherever he walks.
Where 1 is a regular knight's speed (by the formula |P^3-4.5*P^2| where P is the phase he is in, 100000 points of health each because I am a sadistic barbarian)
Phase 1: 3.5
Phase 2: 10
Phase 3: 13.5
Phase 4: 8
Phase 5: 12.5
Phase 6: 54

They also summon Gremlin Scorchers (wat? or firebranders maybe?) to help them each phase, except 6, where he spawns Gremlin Incinerators (respawning firebrander overtimer?) instead. (Yeah, I know, I'm overbuffing Phase 6, and that's ok.) There are 4 water orbs around the room.

..........
Just kidding, it's actually poison themed, with a new floor hazard that's like Shadow Fire but inflicts poison, a new random poison themed unit in place of the scorchers, and embers from candlestick to put out this new hazard.

Shadebite
This is awsome!!!!!!!!

I give this +1000000000 cuz it rocks my socks. I like the earthscraper idea, but maybe a suitcase bomb?

Shadebite
P.s. How do you get a little picture up there?

Keep the boss fight like it was at the start, and maybe make this an expansion? I think the mug could be a bomb that does elemental DMG and inflicts fire. It gets placed down for a few seconds then shatters, spilling coffee on your enemies! If that gets accepted! an Extra +googleplex

Shadebite
New enemy for the win!

Here's a new enemy:

Middle manager

Attacks:

Gran Faust charge attack
Axe swipe combo
Promote devilite
Hire a knight(multi player only)

Hired knights attack other knights, but are cursed so the take DMG each time they attack. They can also be killed or hurt by other players while hired. Only 1 can be hired at a time, and the attack is slow.

...good idea kentard. I always want devilite boss but i don't have idea for it. Maybe OOO (three rings) accept this idea. It's revolutional idea!

I'm vohtarak, call me by that name

You realize this is a really old necro, if this was to be implemented it would have already been done

Shadebite
Don't hate...

The enemies have very low hp and hire time is only 2-3 seconds, so they are easy to kill.

Shadebite
Sebastian- fantom, don't be mean

Sebastian- fantom, don't be mean, I worked hard on that idea. Necro because this is a good thread and should not die.

Also can someone do concept art for middle manager and like a boss mug bomb.

Shadebite
DON'T

DON'T DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 points!

@op:

1st point:

Will the elevators be going up sense this is a building all in one stratum?

2nd point:

I just noticed that a completely fiend stratum has no traps, just waves of devilites. So will these obstacles be replacing the neccessary hazardous traps that are suppose to be laid about?

I loved this idea!!

OOO!! Please!! Turn this into a reallity!

Oh, and don't forget about the Tokens that this boss may give, and the items you can trade with them!
