Combat

Phase 1

"Your souls will pass before me and into me."

Apothrus's entrance

Apothrus attacks with the following:

• Summon Minion: Throughout the battle, Apothrus will always have some Shades of Apothrus summoned (visually, they look and behave exactly like the Immured).
• Swipe: A simple slash with his scythe.
• Teleport: Apothrus will occasionally teleport to enter or exit melee range of the player.

Phase 2

"Greet your ending."

Apothrus phases into the Etheric Realm

At ≈90% total life, Apothrus forms a rune circle beneath himself and phases into the Etheric Realm. When he does this, he's invulnerable to attacks from the mortal realm but can still attack his enemies. Activate nearby altars to temporarily be transported to the Ether.

This is done by killing shades and feeding their energy to an altar. When in the Ether, attack Apothrus quickly to stun him and remove him from the Ether. Apothrus retains all abilities from the previous section, and also uses the following skills.

• Ethereal: In the subsequent times this skill is used, it is cast without interruption.
• Bone Spirit: Apothrus launches 6 skulls to land in random locations, tainting the ground with ether and causing damage if the player walks over them.
• Blast Wave: Apothrus slams the butt of his scythe on the floor, unleashing shockwaves in value directions that deal greater damage and knockback to farther they go.
• Blade Beam: Apothrus quickly slashes in front of himself with the second sweep of his scythe releasing 3 blade beams. Each slash and beam causes knockback.
• Etheric Flames: Apothrus summons 4 skulls around himself which shoot ethereal flames outwards.

Phase 3

"Let the void feast."
