Bosses and Arcana Challenges
Act 3 - Jadeplume Terrorshroom
Jadeplume Terrorshroom |
| An evolved Fungus. When it is hit by Electro attacks and Catalyze reactions, it will accumulate Activation. When it is hit by Pyro attacks, it will lose Activation progress. When it accumulates sufficient Activation, it will enter an Activated state. An activated Jadeplume Terrorshroom will unleash more fearsome attacks until it becomes exhausted. When it is not Activated, the Jadeplume Terrorshroom can be put into a Burning state via the use of Pyro, which will cause it to become Scorched. It will then spread spores around to create Fungi in an attempt to escape this status. |
Act 6 - Primo Geovishap
Primo Geovishap |
| A Primo Geovishap awoken from a centuries-long slumber that can absorb different kinds of elemental power to unleash a Primordial Shower infused with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro. If this attack hits a character protected by a Shield, the Primo Geovishap will take some DMG in return. If the Shield's elemental type is Geo or it matches that of the Primordial Shower, the amount of reflected DMG will be increased. |
Act 8 - Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress
Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress |
| A super-heavy war machine capable of regulating its own temperature. After receiving Pyro attacks, the Mechanized Fortress will continuously accumulate heat and enter an Overheating state. At this point, if it continues to heat up, the Mechanized Fortress will automatically activate a Cryo Ward to cool itself down. Interrupting the cooling process could significantly disrupt its operations. |
Act 10 - Aeonblight Drake
Aeonblight Drake |
| A ruin machine that can absorb energy and hurl it back as an attack. This machine has even greater abilities than the Ruin Drake, being able to attack from the air and on the ground. The Aeonblight Drake can periodically release a dangerous torrent of energy and increase its own Elemental RES against the previous main type of Elemental DMG it has suffered. Under various circumstances, the cores all over its body will be exposed. Take such opportunities to attack those cores, and you may be able to immobilize this creature and remove its Elemental RES boost. Whenever this creature recovers from paralysis, it will switch between aerial and ground-attack forms. |

Arcana Challenge 2 - Experimental Field Generator
Experimental Field Generator |
| A large and out-of-control Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering device. During combat, it will channel ousia energy to unleash a Gravity Reduction Field.
