I am sure every one who was completed vanaduke and is getting a little bord of the game should read this and post positive comments!

WHAT THE BOSS LOOKS LIKE
it will basically be a giant cobra with a big metal ball at the end of its tail and it will appear coiled up with its face and most of its neck showing and sways lightly to side to side

THE STAGES
stage1: first of all it will tap its metal spike ball against the ground twice and summon 4 mini versions of it self and hitting knights with its metal spike tail coursing powerful stun.
stage2: after 6000damage done to it it will start to shoot venom and knights out of its mouth coursing light curse and will continue stage 1
stage3:after 10000 damage it will continue to hit knights with its deadly tail of spikes and shoot venom it will also summon 3 headed snakes that stand like knights and a little more bigger than a knight and hold 2 swords much like strikers. after another 10000 damage to it
you will have successfully have beaten this boss monster though I haven't come up with a name yet. you will get 3 boss tokens to spend to get the following things below.

wild hunting blade will be 20 tokens
dragon scale (material) will be 6 tokiens
dragon scale shield will be 20 tokiens
beast scale (material) will be 1 token

I guess you can see what direction I am going in with tokens sort of reptily sort of thing if you can think of some more for tokens that will be great!
I will add more things for boss tokens if you have any suggestions I am open eared including names.
hopefully this can become a boss monster!
thx
bash :D

Well the boss looks good but

Well the boss looks good but what about the rest of the levels we have to cross?

ok.

1 needs location.
2 on phase 1 it will only summon things and attack with only one attack. that would be repetitive. and blitzers would be advantaged.
3 shooting venom causing light curse. wait, venom causing curse? we have poison. and curse is pretty nasty.
4 also, shooting is a bit too vague. spread? or bullet like?
5 little enemies need attacks. also, two swords like who? cutter series has phantom strikes, not two swords.
6 5* armor and weapons are 40 tokens (see fang of vog), 5* materials are 12-15.
7 if you are looking for a cheap way to get WHB because is cool, this is the wrong way.

1. it will come after vanaduke but not on the same mission
2.i have to admit you have a bit of a point
3. now you have pointed that out I think it should also have a light poison as well as curse and this is the final boss it is so post to be nasty!
4.OK you do ask some good questions I do agree with you that I should use a different word for shooting like spreading.
5. the little enemy guys will bite and leap on knights like a slag walker and with the stage3 ones there swords wont be exatly like cutters they will swing them at knights like up and down.
6.since this will be a hard boss I don't think prices in tokens should be that high
7. and I am not sure what you mean by that

umm...

I thought boss rewards were supposed to be things that you couldn't get any other way, like antigua and sealed sword.

That's a terribly small amount of HP.

Vana has 45k in total for the body phases, just so you know. Think the mask phases are 5k each. So yeah, that's 55k. Solo.

Make that WHB 50 tokens. It is a very legitimate weapon. Second to highest DPS of all normal swords and let's not forget, the coolest weapon in the game. Did I mention that it should actually be DVS? No? Now I did. I think a poisonous weapon fits much better for a snake boss.

@Thunders
The Ancient Poop set is 30k/piece. FoV is 40. If you look above, I suggest 50 because WHB/DVS are legitimately useful weapons, unlike FoV which is hardly usable in T3.

@Hounddoonwars
Not necessarily. It is the case with all boss stuff, the only exception being Brute Jelly gear that can be crafted.

Thunder-The-Bright

ok.

returning to location, that is not what I meant. where is the boss placed? I mean, enviroment.
ancient plate set is armor. armor cost less than weapons (see brute jelly and sealed sword /antigua).
any hard boss has a strategy to make it simple (or rather simple). see vanaduke. a few strategies will take him down in 56 seconds, some in 10 mins.

location

I guess it could be like a gloaming wild woods sort of environment but maybe not so much green like dead trees and plants and bones scattered every where and like a dried up ground I guess

wepons

I do agree with u on poison weps and maybe curse weps could be on boss tokens and could make them more expensive
and thx for telling me the hp of vanaduke I think we could make this boss hp to like 70k maybe more so this is more of a challenge
I guess we could toss a grand faust in with boss tokens and maybe some more sort of reptily gear

thx 4 yr comments and I am willing to answer as many questions as I can!

NOOO

I was writing a reply for the past hour on how the levels should be done, but I accidentally pressed back and now its all gone! DX
+1,000,000. Best idea I've seen on spiral knights so far.
I'll probably repost everything that I typed at a later date.

Think of the music for this level to be a mix of Somber and Beast.
It should be a 5 level mission.

Yeah, thats all I have right now. Still in shock that I lost that much stuff XD

nooo reply

hi
sorry u lost all that writing I would have loved to read those level ideas and I agree that their should be more levels like maybe they should discover that the core they reached didn't work and it was the outer core or something and u go down from there through the outer core and do those levels then u go to the new boss

You realize the Core itself is smaller than a world capsule thing? Okay, maybe not. You see, the Clockworks worlds are stored in well, capsules. Over nine thousand cores fit in one if you look at Jigsaw Valley worlds. The platforms we navigate trough are like 3% of the sphere. You might want to look at this: http://i.imgur.com/Yw57HnM.jpg No idea how to explain Shadow Lairs, but that's not the point. No going below the Core.

The Core would be 1 level, no more. And it contains the Alpha Squad and the power source, so no going there. Unless OOO decides to throw away their entire concept of a grinding game.

And if this is a "final boss", he would have to be deeper than Vanaduke to actually be a final boss. Which according to what I just said, is impossible. And even if that happens, what about Shadow Lairs?

@OP The boss itself has a weak body. Curse, Stun, and some 3-headed enemies won't solve the problem. Gunners can just run around shooting at the boss. Swordsmen can just use their totally-sword-like charges that shoot to kill it. Bombers can spam bombs. Better body, and just one status. The only logical status for a Snake would be poison, so making it spit Super Blast Bomb-size virulisk globs very fast, quickly bite people, choke them with it's tail etc. would be WAY more fitting than a snake that shoots bullets.

Each boss except partially RJ has unique items. And why would anyone want a Drake Scale Shield, anyway? That thing is so... Whatever. On to the mats, we can already get them for sparks and are easy to get from monsters. All we need is materials for guild hall trophies. And we need guild hall trophies.

not bad

If this idea were to be in the game there would have to be 6 and 7 stars. Too hard for 4 star knights to complete. All of these new weapons to would have to come out.
