The Dark One

The Dark One is a boss that is fought in the final room of The Darkness whose main gimmick is accumulating darkness enemies to limit the space of the boss arena.

Appearance
The Dark One is completely black in body color. It is wearing a dominus and has bat wings on its back.

Behavior
The Dark One will chase the nearest player, but copies 90% of the player with the highest. Every 10 seconds, it will summon other darkness enemies, limiting the space inside the arena even more. Alongside The Shadow, it will iterate between summoning The Phantom and The Corrupted, and speeds up the Shadows with each summon. It can only summon 10 before stopping.

Tips

 * It is recommended that ONLY the player with the highest battles The Dark One.
 * The reason for this is because it will switch to a different player to attack, switch again, and vice versa, catching players off-guard, which means that if someone else has a lower, they will die easily.
 * Make large and smooth turns around the room to prevent The Dark One from catching up.
 * Get other party members to stay in corners together, and work together to fight off any summons that come their way.
 * You should catch the aggression of all of The Dark One's spawns immediately, as not doing so will set them up to cut you off when you circle back around. They will naturally cluster and get hit while you are fighting the boss.
 * As the boss is weak to, it is recommended to use a sword with that weakness. However, these swords not appear until later in the game.
 * If you are playing as a class that takes advantage of large groups of enemies for stats and other benefits (such as Gardener), it is highly recomended to let The Dark One spawn all 20 of his minions in order to then utilize them.
 * It is recommended to warp back a few worlds in order to decrease The Dark One's scaled, making him much easier to fight.
