Stats & Appearance

10,800 HP
15% Damage Reduction
Switches to 2nd phase at 60% HP

He wears a cerulean martial artist’s gi with a matching headband, both adorned with a white spiral pattern. On his arms he sports two stone bracelets with the same spiral pattern on top of his cerulean hand wrappings. He’s slightly taller than the average player (5’10) and has light gray eyes.

Attacks

His attacks are more focused on raw power and speed than size. This is complimented by his frequent usage of dashes to reposition himself. His first phase consists of the following moves:

Flowing Jabs - Strikes forward three consecutive times with his fists towards the player’s current location, getting hit will deal low damage and briefly stun the player.
Skyward Uppercut - Teleports to the player’s current location and winds-up an uppercut dealing moderate damage and bringing but player up with him if it lands.
Wind Rupture - Strikes the ground causing it to erupt in a cone in front of him shortly after, dealing low damage but knocking the player upwards if it hits, leaving them susceptible to follow-up attacks.
Sudden Downdraft - After a 2s wind-up, teleports above the player before quickly descending to the ground dealing high damage if it directly hits, otherwise moderate damage in an AoE on impact.
Follow the Flow - Shoulder charges towards the player’s current location, dealing moderate damage and halving the cooldown period between moves if it hits.
Pressurized Grasp - After a red glint indicating the moves activation, dash towards the player and grab them by the throat before slamming them into the ground dealing high damage and temporarily blur the player’s screen. This move cannot be blocked but can be parried, briefly stunning him if you do.

Upon reaching 60% of his health, he will switch to his second phase gaining an altered move set and now inflicting a unique DoT called “Cerulean Pressure” with each hit. His move colors also shift from a pearl white to a cerulean blue during this phase. These are the move specific changes for his 2nd phase:

  • Flowing Jabs is now significantly faster and goes from 3 times to 5 times.
  • Skyward Uppercut is now followed-up by a faster, albeit weaker Sudden Downdraft if it misses.
  • Wind Rupture now comes out in a circular shape, he will also slowly drag the player towards him as he prepares to use the move.
  • Sudden Downdraft will now produce a small cerulean tornado if it hits the ground. This tornado will slowly drag the player towards it, dealing more damage the closer you are to it.
  • Follow the Flow is now repeated 3 times, each time he dashes either left or right before charging again.
  • Pressurized Grasp will now end with him stomping down on the player as they are on the ground, inflicting deep bleeding.
Loot Table

Cerulean Brawler Set - (Headband, Gi, Pants, Wrappings) The attire commonly used by followers of the Cerulean Wind, albeit modified to better accommodate his skills. The fabric is both as soft as a cloud yet extremely durable. (1/8)
Windflow Bracelets - A strange pair of stone bracelets with a glowing spiral pattern etched into them that increase the users affinity with the wind at the cost of increased energy consumption. (1/20)
Guide to Fowl-mouthing - At first glance you thought this was a book on swearing, it’s actually instructions on how to ‘converse’ with various bird species. (1/10)
Chains of Another - These strange chains seemingly manifested from thin air after his defeat. You feel a deep power resonating from them… one that is completely foreign from this world. (1/20, replaces Windflow Bracelets if fought in Writing)
Inner Toxicity - Remnants of his inner frustrations and rudeness manifested into a somewhat physical form, perhaps someone would take interests in this? (1/1, while fighting with Challenge Medal equipped)

Kai guy ahh boss

No challenge medal drop?

Too Lazy to think of one

I love that.

TAITC, A Glitch in the Code
Neutral-aligned Superboss

A warrior of the past who challenged the forums’ greatest members in it’s earliest days. Despite being one of the oldest members that was still occasionally active, the world grew around them, they became obsolete and the forums didn’t need them anymore, causing them to grow envious and eventually go mad and power hungry, causing them to strip themselves of their humanity, being one with the code of this world. Sealed away by unknown forces, outside of the forums, they only occasionally are able to break free, hoping to spread chaos for the limited amount of time they have to be able to reign.

Spawns:
Very rarely reappears exclusively in Off-Topic.
Otherwise, must be found in Discord, and is fought in the Minus World.
An invincible and overtuned version of this boss is spawned as a piracy or cheating measure.

Stats & Appearance

25,000 HP, with a catch. Cannot be One Shotted.
50% Damage Reduction
70% Chance to dodge incoming attacks
720 Average Damage.

An ever changing entity usually marked by a Fez. Glitching aura makes it hard for them to be made out, but when visible, usually takes the form of the character Aile from the game Mega Man ZX Advent. The world around them also unnaturally shifts and bugs out in their presence. When spawned as an anti piracy or cheating measure, their form changes to look more similarly to 1x1x1x1.

Attacks

Weak in power compared to other endgame bosses, however makes up for it in spamming debuffs which significantly weakens and pesters the opponent. Don’t let their low stats fool you, they are designed to be an incredibly unfair boss.

Cheat Saber - Though they do have a sword, this is their primary method of attacking. Channelling glitch energy into their hand, forming a thin and lengthy staticky blade which extends straight outwards. Used in both normal attacks, by either slashing with it or shooting sword beams with it. These normal attacks apply lowered defense.

Ve-Cheater Sword - Cheat Saber used as a special ability, TAITC extends the cheat saber forwards, skewering an opponent, and then rushing at them, cutting them in half. Applies slowness and weakness to the enemy.

Cheat Excalibur - The strongest version of the Cheat Saber, TAITC creates 2 Cheat Sabers, one in each hand, before raising them to the sky, causing them to mix together, creating a massive two handed Cheat Saber which they slam downwards onto the enemy. This attack deals true damage.

Lessons in Futility - Occasionally, attacks that would originally be dodged will be auto countered. If a projectile, TAITC will swat it back at the opponent, if a melee attack TAITC will instead teleport away and stab them with the Cheat Saber before kicking them away.

Emmanuel Blaster - TAITC rushes forwards with hands outstretched. If making contact with an opponent, grab them and begin corrupting their data, glitches swarming the opponent’s body before throwing them away with a powerful glitch blast. Applies scrambled keys and prevents special moves from being used.

Bluescreen Meltdown - A “desperation attack”, which they are only able to use when under 33% HP and not meeting the requirements to lifebar steal. They float to the center of the player’s screen, and slash twice creating a tear in the computer itself, which sucks all opponents in but can be ran away from to escape. If the opponent fails to escape the pull of the vortex, they are sucked in as they are stuck in the bluescreen for a while before they are annihilated by a computer reset.

Lifebar Stealer - TAITC uses their Glitch ability to swap HP bars with the opponent. This is the main catch to their boss fight, as they can do this as often as they want to, as long as their opponent’s current HP percentage is more than theirs.

Artificial Intelligence Bomb - TAITC holds out their hand and creates a compressed ball of glitch energy in front of their palm, which they then shoot out towards the nearest enemy. This projectile homes in on it’s target and upon making contact with them or a surface will stop, suck everything nearby in, and then explode, sending glitch energy and outdated memes flying everywhere. Applies the “Cringe” status effect, which makes the afflicted take extra stun and take up more energy using moves.

Glitzer Popper - TAITC summons a single jumble of glitches to slowly move forwards and bounce off walls. Damages enemies it makes contact with, and must be killed by players to get rid of. With every bounce it does, it splits into 2, but also splits it’s HP, quickly becoming a hassle. Applies the “BAD EGG” status effect on contact, turning the afflicted into an egg which cannot attack for a brief amount of time.

Dropped Items

A Copy of Mega Man ZX - It’s a retail copy of Mega Man ZX for the Nintendo DS. Does nothing, but can be displayed as a trophy. The item description reveals it’s actually the PAL version of the game. (100% Chance to drop for a first time defeat)

Essence of Dead Meme - A vial of pure cringe. Can be brewed to make powerful offensive potions. (100% Chance to drop after Copy of Mega Man ZX is obtained)

Cheater’s Lament - A glitchy halo that can be worn as an accessory. Grants the highest damage boost in the game but also halves the user’s max HP. (50% Chance to drop).

The Keyboard Warrior - An RGB keyboard on a stick. One of the strongest weapons in the game strangely enough. (50% Chance to drop)

Nasus - A clown nose. Different from existing purely cosmetic clown noses as this one gives the worst stats in the game, halving HP, damage, energy, and drawing aggro for all nearby enemies. (1% chance to drop)

So dealing 24,999 damage in one attack is perfectly chill, got it.

Just need to make sure that the attack also inflicts DoT.

hey we’ll get to that point eventually

I like how nobody shows the level of their characters

Garlic Bread, the Tasty

Chaotic miniboss

A garlic bread perfectly safe to consume by humans. When a piece is bitten off, it will instantly regenerate itself, allowing for infinite pleasure of its taste. Long exposure to heat, especially in the form of heated arguments, may cause it to get burnt, which activates the bossfight. When burnt, Garlic Bread stops being tasty and will ravage anyone who overheated it. Eating it in that phase is heavily unadvised, as it may cause internal burning.

Spawns:

  • Off-topic exclusively, formerly found in Art.
  • Currently sailing in The Bronze Sea.
  • Really, any topic which mentions politics.
Stats and appearance

1000HP
95% damage reduction
Dodge chance scales off attacker’s INT stat. Lower means higher dodge chance.
Immune to insult-type attacks.

In docile phase, Garlic Bread looks tasty as ever. No safety measures needed. Burnt Garlic Bread becomes dark-tinted and stops being tasty. A fiery aura starts surrounding it.

Attacks

Flamin’ Entrance - When activating the burnt phase, Garlic Bread will laugh maniacally and then enclose the targets in a fire ring and apply 3 stacks of burn on the targets.

Literal war - Garlic Bread uses a fraction of its power to write a message that inflicts all readers with Aggro effect. Targets previously Aggro’ed will get 750 Damage.

Draining Debate - Garlic Bread chooses one of the targets and starts exchanging hits, ignores damage from sources different than the targeted person. Shoots bolts that inflict 3 stacks of Burn and 1 stack of Weaken, and 500 Damage. This ability lasts until Garlic Bread cools down or the target dies.

Blasted Wave - When reaching half HP, Garlic Bread shoots out a shockwave inflicting 4+ stacks of Burn and Hellfire. Deals 500 damage to all targets.

RAIGFORCE - Garlic Bread lets out a scream of PURE RAIG and the fire aura becomes hellfire. Garlic Bread goes on a rampage and has the ability to one-shot anyone, without consideration of armor. In this state, only the moderator class can shut it down.
Note: This attack has never been observed.

Cooling word - Garlic Bread cools down mid fight, letting out a soft hum, decreasing damage but increasing accuracy and resistance (to 90% and 98% respectively)
