Okay, so as Don mentioned, it's basically 4 rooms: 3 rooms where you kill all mobs, and the boss, Sephiroth the
one-winged angel tree of life or something. No big deal right?... well, all I'll say at this point is that it's no Family Fungeon.
Immediately upon entering, a little pop-up window appears saying "script.event.enter.dungeon_276". I'm fairly sure that's Mabi code for "prepare your body because I'm totally about to destroy you a million times over". Ignoring this obvious Nexon moment, I run up to the switch and hit it because what's the worst that could happen. 3 Green Horn Snakes. Okay, not too bad. I successfully kill them all without incident though they do a pretty okay amount of damage (70 or so through 131 defense and 38 prot). Then some Red-eyed Spiders and a couple floaty bug guys spawned. The floaty bug guys are basically a non-threat, but the spiders can poison, which was the First Sign of Trouble. The first room was 3 waves: the snakes, the spiders and bugs, and another wave of spiders and bugs.
The second room was where things REALLY HEATED UP. Seriously, for real. Everything looked bad when 2 of each elemental sprite spawned. Fortunately, their damage isn't terribly buffed, so the worst that happened was I got stunlocked for a bit by all the bolts. Of course, Devcat doesn't stop at stunlocking. Of course, they had to upscale the sprites. 2 of each sprite, but now giant. So I was now getting stunlocked, but with actual damage. Then the intermediate magic started, and I died. Probably around 15~20 times. God fucking damn. Holy shit. If it wasn't "here have a fireball to dodge HAhAHA YOU'RE STUNNED", it was "here have an ice spear to dodge oh fucking wait you can't dodge fucking magic because ha oh yeah the ice spear anyway yeah you're dead now". Or even "here have an ice spear JUST IN CASE YOU WEREN'T DEAD HAVE A FUCKING FIREBALL ON TOP OF IT". Complete bullshit. How do they expect anyone to be able to handle this alone. Jesus Christ. Despite all this, I somehow managed to make it through an untold number of waves (I want to say 5 but I might be exaggerating). I'm completely potion poisoned though, so I take about an hour-long break to recover. On a tangent, what the hell is the deal with potion poisoning. Why does this even exist. Okay, to discourage taking hits and shrugging them off with drugs? I guess that's okay, until you face enemies who can fucking hit you at 100% success for shittons of damage and there's no fucking way to heal yourself alone quickly. Fucking god damn.
So in the 3rd room, I faced some dragonflies. Weak as heck. Then a rat man and a bunch of blue crabs spawned. Here's the thing about blue crabs: they're retardedly fast and retardedly powerful, and all of them aggro you instantly. So they instantly rush you into a corner doing 50 damage a hit and then the rat man finishes you off by punching your in-deadly ass to death. Then some more weak dragonflies.
The boss. Where should I even begin to describe it? I got really shitty information from our friend Bariaus that said that because he was a tree, he couldn't move. Logical, right? Nope this is a motherfucking hell tree. He runs super goddamn fast for a tree (okay not actually that fast). Don basically described all his attacks in the previous post, but I'll talk about them again. He has 5 moves: a punch that does around 200-250 damage and shouldn't ever happen to you because it means you're in punching range and thus are way too close, 3 kinds of jumping shockwave moves that vary in size and damage (green < yellow < red), and a bullshit root grab attack. Think Life Drain, but both stronger and more annoying. You can't move at all while in this attack, and it does 50 damage per second for about 3 seconds (so 150), PLUS it also pulls you to him dealing another 200. So that's 350 unavoidable damage that also ruins your advantageous position by allowing him to punch or stomp on you. For comparison, I have a bit over 400 HP. So that means I'd have to shovel potions down my throat to be able to survive the next attack, which I'll also have to drink a billion potions to recover from, and so on. Potion poisoning anyone??!
Oh yeah, if all that shit weren't bad enough, he ALSO SUMMONS 3 BLUE CRABS, 2 GIANT FIRE SPRITES, AND 3 GREEN SARACENNIAS (sarracenias? whatever, plant guys). The blue crabs have been previously described and are even more annoying when fighting a giant murder tree. The giant fire sprites manage to outdo themselves with their extreme fireball action and super fast speed so that they can chase you down. As for the plant guys, if you've been on a Karu Statue or Peaca run before, they are pretty much ghosts covered in plants. All of these enemies work together to turn a difficult and hair-tearing boss fight into a wailing, crying, bloody struggle. Now you have to dodge a fireball! Oh wait, Sephirot grabbed you! You're dead! You respawned! Crab rush! You cry as a fireball casually sails through the air toward your crab-stunlocked ass! You're dead again! Hahaha! Foolish Milletian!
