Zenith [Boss] Medusa

[BMG1601]

Medusa - The Queen of Swamp

 

Lore

Quote

Medusa was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as winged females with living venomous snakes instead of hair. She is the only one remaining alive, roaming the swamplands alongside her Sapi minions. Besides her stone gaze, which can put anyone to sleep or even turn them into statues, she is a silent ruler, and her agenda remains partially hidden. Her army marches the Continent of Mu with her two trusty generals in command, Bloody Witch Queen and the terrifying Cursed Dragon, to achieve her long-sought goal of ruling every piece of land on this vast continent. But nobody knows what she is planning to do with the living souls after her conquest is over. Meanwhile, NewSquad adventurers seek to find her and end her reign before it's too late.

PRE-FIGHT: RAMP-UP
	For every 45 seconds elapsed, while Sapi Guardians are alive, the boss will Ramp-Up. On each Ramp-Up, the boss will gain a permanent Shield of 4% damage absorption, up to 60%.
GORGON'S GAZE
	Every 30 seconds, the boss will sleep 1/3 of the players that are in her 12x12 range, for 8 seconds. If any of the sleeping characters are attacked by players, the sleep will break and they will be petrified for 6 seconds.
