Xantis revamp

[forumMikel]

1-Have him use all the classess weapons as weapons (warr, archer, gunner, mage and whip) and make xantis have his own cool looking weapons for each class that matches his armor.

2-An intro before he spawns instead of just popping into existence (i suggest some sort of tube that he comes out of in the top middle part of the area inbetween the two staues) like cmon, its xantis. Its supposed to be the finale! Make it special

3-Xantis only special attacks that only he can do, and instead of running into you to hit you like a player. Make it so hes actually strategic with what and how hes gonna attack (not just running into players and sucking in a 80 arrow barrage)

4-phases, basically what all endgame bosses should have. Make him change visuals and the stuff he does as the fight progressess

5-make the xantis statues move and figbt like xantis, make them like mini minions like the lumbercore. Feels like something xantis would do lol

Anyways all i have for the guy is make his fight a memorable one, its supposed to be 'the end' not some sort of normal enemy that just makes you "oh cool hes dead"

Really, why would he use a weapon that may have been used against him 1,000 years ago instead of something suited to his armor.

I think the ending of the game itself is what allows the Xantis fight to stand out, but you are right in that Xantis is underwhelming. Granted, the game treats both Colossal and Xantis as the final boss (with Colossal being the first phase and Xantis being the 2nd), Xantis just played like every other human or humanoid. At the very least he could have shield that renders him invulnerable for some time (like the wizard's force field skill) or intentionally-programmed teleportation (like my Moonchyllus concept).

C'mon, there's a reason why Cionic is still the best boss in the game.

Correct, I actually REALLY like how he fights like a regular person tho, it's that thing they do in games that makes me gitty (the balanced 1v1 kinda boss, you know the one), what it needs is to have xantis not be a dumbass. Like, why doesn't he, perhaps when under 50%, use rage (perhaps make it orange to suit his energy colours??? hmmm???)? Why doesn't he ever fire a hoard, or homing arrows? Why does he not in any way try to heal or teleport with his weird satan forcefield? Why is the guy with thousands of years in combat such a fool?

yet again, the answer to all of those is he's a fascist and all he had to do was sit around while his lackeys did the work, so in a sense it's quite accurate.



we can always do it in some secret rematch :000, hmmmmm??!?!?!?!?!

Yeah, or maybe purple like Frieza (another dictator).

This is Xantis, he gets his own dictator colour hue.

That Xantis is not the final boss, so maybe Elia's story is lengthened because in the nuclear factory there are more paths

The using all classes weapons sounds very cool and as cinos mentioned, Xantis actually using skills would be nice.

Currently I think xantis is just way too weak, Any kinda buff to it would be nice.
