NPCs & Enemies The Final Challenge: Trial of The Limbo

[FashionableFairyFemboy!]

The Trial of The Limbo is an event which is summoned by using the Altar of Aether. The event acts as a test of the players abilities and pits the player against shadowy visages of all the bosses in the game.

The Visage versions of the bosses act as much stronger versions of their normal counterpart, possessing unique attacks, more health, more damage, more defense, and maybe even unique AI(?).

The event has 18 waves in total and each wave pits you against a different Visage. But the final wave has a special boss...:

Wave 1; Visage of King Slime

Wave 2; Visage of Eye of Cthulhu

Wave 3; Visage of Eater of Worlds

Wave 4; Visage of Brain of Cthulhu

Wave 5; Visage of Queen Bee

Wave 6; Visage of Skeletron

Wave 7; Visage of Deerclops

Wave 8; Visage of Wall of Flesh

Wave 9; Visage of Queen Slime

Wave 10; Visages of Mech Bosses

Wave 11; Visage of Plantera

Wave 12; Visage of Golem

Wave 13; Visage of Empress of Light

Wave 14; Visage of Duke Fishron

Wave 15; Visage of Betsy

Wave 16; Visage of Lunatic Cultist

Wave 17; Visage of Moon Lord

Wave 18; The Unknown


...



The Unknown is an anomalous entity which hails from The Limbo. It acts like an amalgamation of all bosses in the game and innherits many of their attacks and abilities. It's movements and attacks can be unpredictable, and it can even change AI throughout the battle. It's appearance is as unpredictable as it's behavior, because it can changr between looking like many different things in the game. Lastly, it has an extreme amount of health and will act as a kind of Superboss, and not a normal final boss.


Notes:

The Altar of Aether is crafted at an Ancient Manipulator in the Aether with 10 Luminite Bars, 4 Solar Fragments, 4 Nebula Fragments, 4 Vortex Fragments, 4 Stardust Fragments, 20 Aetherium Blocks, and 10 Spectre Bars.

The Event can only be summoned after every boss has been defeated in a world.

During the event the background will be blank(white).

The Altar of Aether works a bit like the Eternia Crystal / Stand, albeit it can't take damage and can be activated without a special item at any time.

Between each wave there will be a 60 second timer, allowing the player to heal between waves. This timer can be skipped by clicking on the Altar of Aether.

The Visages drop hearts and Super Healing Potions, instead of the drops of their Terrarian counterparts.

The True Reward is dropped by The Unknown.

Thoughts behind the idea:

The Visages are supposed to be almost like the spirits of the bosses forever stick in Limbo. And it also has something to do with the fact that you have to defeat every single boss in the game before you can start the event...

The Unknown is almost like an amalgamation of spirits. It can appear like many different creatures and act like many different creatures. It is also anomalus in nature because it comes from a realm beyond the realm of Terraria.

Spectre Bars are used in the crafting of the Altar of Aether because Spectre Bars are made from Ectoplasm which comes from spirits. And the Limbo is connected to spirits.

@Redigit🌳 @Cenx What are your thoughts about this idea?

 

[Actravaz]

I love this idea, it gives players something to flex their endgame gear on. though I do think the unknown should be more like an everything seed boss than a finale to the boss rush.

 

[MoultonLava]

I do like it a lot. The Unknown is a cool idea, and the spirits of bosses coming back to try and take you down is cool. I imagine that the early bosses will get a massive buff in HP, stats, and attacks they can use, though.

Redigit's silhouette shall be the "unknown"

 

[LisanPaez05]

Is a cool idea (is like that item from Calamity Mod)

I'm don't like "The Unknown" boss at the end, the game doesn't need more bosses at this point, I believe

"The True Reward" could be the Terraria's Tree, but as a wall furniture (like a painting or something similar)

I like the idea of the True Reward being purely decorative. It feels right.

I love how this came back because it was in the "similar suggestions" under the Limbo RP.

Since the wall of flesh can only be fought in hell, I think it may have a separate tower-type arena where the wall will go up.
