The Dark One

The Dark One is a boss that appears exclusively in The Darkness.

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

Behavior
The Dark One will target the nearest player, copying 90% of their. The arena will be confined, leaving you with a small space that is around 1.5x the size of a regular room. As the Dark One's aggro range is larger than the room's size, it is able to chase any player no matter where it is, effectively giving it infinite aggro range.

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.

When it is defeated, all enemies inside the arena will die, rewarding you the Bat Wing.

Combat Tips
It deals 10 damage to any player it touches, and has an unknown but massive amount of health. Additionally, it can spawn other droids that restrict your movement even more. If you are not too confident that you can take down the boss, bring healing items to increase your chance of survival.

Kite the Dark One in a large circle, but do not go into the corner. As it matches your walk speed very closely, you should make large turns so that it does not catch up to you and deal significant damage. Whenever it stops to summon enemies, you will likely still be chased by other enemies, so it is better to continue kiting any enemies near you in a circle instead of trying to attack the Dark One. The Dark One will catch up to you after it is done summoning.

To avoid running into other droids that the Dark One summons while fighting, zoom your camera out a bit and point it downwards to get a bird's eye view of the battle. Due to the lack of lighting, you may find it better not to zoom out too much so that you can still see the name tags of the droids if you can't see the droids themselves.

Having a high jump power helps in this battle, as you can jump over enemies if you are surrounded.

Ultimately, practicing how to dodge the enemies effectively is crucial in beating this boss.
