The Dark One

The Dark One is a boss droid that appears exclusively in The Darkness. It will appear in the 10th room of The Darkness, a world that you will enter after you kill a Friendly Droid in a special room. The Darkness is an entirely dark map only inhabited by Dark droids.

Appearance
The Dark One is completely black in body color. It appears to wear a hood and has some items on its back.

Behavior
Upon spawning, the Dark One will speed up to match 9/10th of the target's walk speed and begin chasing the player. The room will be confined to a small rectangle, and 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.

It has a special ability: summoning other droids. Whenever the Dark One summons droids, it will stop moving and lift its arms up. The boss summons The Shadow and The Corrupted, limiting the player's space even more. However, there is a limit to how many enemies it can summon.

When the Dark One is killed, all enemies in the room die. The boss drops 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.
