Magma Brain

Template:Monster InfoBoxThe Magma Brain is one of the few boss monsters that can be found in the Frontier. It is found in Pit Depths, more specifically in the Magma Depths level of The Pits in its center.

Appearance

The Magma Brain resembles a bacteriophage, a specific type of virus, in apperance, it dones a black and red color scheme along with rectangular orange "eyes" with white pupils at it's base plate, which also serve host to small patches of gems. What seems to be a red tail tube is wrapped around it's head and sheath. It has four large tail fibres which branch into two small pincers on each one.

Strategies

The Magma Brain is the probably one of the more difficult monsters to defeat in the Frontier. It is very versatile and can withstand many hits from even the strongest of weapons given its immense health. This unfathomable beast is recommended to be fought with a set of good armor and a partner that can help out.

Because of the Brain's immensely powerful melee attacks, using melee weapons is not recommended, as your health can be obliterated in one or two hits from a heavy AOE attack. If you are using melee, however, it is recommended to dart in and out of the ditch surrounding the boss, popping out to attack during openings. If you are fighting the boss with ranged or magic weapons, however, your best bet is to walk around in the middle-layer circle while dealing damage to the Brain and dodging its ranged attacks. These players should also run around the middle layer of the cave attacking the Brain continuously while also staying alert to dodge its attacks.

Attacks

Laser Shot: Deals roughly 350 damage. The Magma Brain's standard attack is a slow-moving, but high-damage projectile that can deal a heavy blow even to the most well-equipped of players and can sometimes even one shot powerful rangers and mages. This attack is relatively easy to dodge and can be avoided by simply walking to the side.

Tentacle Slam: The Magma Brain's melee attack is an extremely powerful slam with heavy AOE only triggered if a player gets too close to the Magma Brain in it's center pillar. The slam AOE affects the whole center pillar but can easily be avoided by darting away or jumping out, if hit, it can deal massive damage.

Main article: Magma Spitter

Magma Spitter Summon: The spitters deal around 175 damage. The Brain's special attack is a summoning ability that spawns two Magma towers on the Brain's left and right. These towers are not too deadly but can still do a bit of damage. They are fairly easy to dodge, but they cut off the path at the bottom of the cave, reducing mobility but also firing fireballs at you. These monsters are designed just like Lighthouse Spitters. It is recommended to kill the Magma Spitters because they have very low health and can make your battle with the Magma Brain a tad more difficult. However, Magma Spitters summoned by the Brain will eventually despawn if not killed.
