Devoured Horizons

Devoured Horizons is the seventh challenge on the Otherworldly Creatures Part 2 board. It consists of defeating a sextet of the Protus Symbiote, four Proteans, and the Star-Eating Serpent at the same time.
== Rules ==
=== Protus Symbiote ===
# The Protus Symbiote is accompanied by 4 Proteans that can attack and have various effects.
#* Every 5 turns, the Protus Symbiote absorbs all Proteans to heal itself and apply a large +Boost/Bonus buff.
#* Proteans gain +Boost/Bonus the fewer there are alive.
#* If a Protean is defeated by the player, the player takes damage and is inflicted with a stacking -All/MPM/BPD debuff.
# The Protus Symbiote alternates between 'Sturdy Form' (+STR, +Bonus, -Crit, and +Damage Reduction) and 'Swift Form' (+DEX, +INT, +Crit, +Boost) every 5 turns when it nukes.
# If there are fewer than 4 Proteans alive, hitting the Protus Symbiote will cause it to generate a Protean, as well as gaining a stacking +MPM buff.
=== Star-Eating Serpent ===
# The Star-Eating Serpent permanently applies a HoT effect.
# The Star-Eating Serpent has a Solar Charge counter that increases by 10 every turn, maxing at 100.
#* Solar Charge increases by 10 every turn, increases by 10 if it is hit with Light, and decreases by 10 if it is hit with Darkness.
#* At 100 Solar Charge, the Star-Eating Serpent inflicts lethal damage and a massive Null DoT, effectively ending the fight in a loss.
# While below 50 Solar Charge, the Star-Eating Serpent gets -Health and +MPM/BPD, and while above 50 Solar Charge, it gets +Health and +Boost/Bonus/Crit.
# Every 9 turns, the Star-Eating Serpent automatically applies and inflicts a -All and -MPM/BPD debuff that increases every turn.
#* This effect can be purged by stunning the Star-Eating Serpent.
== Turn Order ==
Star-Eating Serpent -> Protus Symbiote -> Proteans
== Equipment ==
* A Fear/Good/Evil weapon is highly recommended for this fight to take advantage of the Star-Eating Serpent's weakness.
* Consider bringing a Darkness weapon to aid in lowering the Star-Eating Serpent's Solar Charge.
* Since this fight features both Metal and Darkness damage, All resistance is preferred, though after one of the bosses is defeated, the other can be resistance stacked.
* The Clawkin Cloak Grasp VII is a strong necklace for this fight, providing both +13 Metal and +13 Darkness.
== Strategy ==
* The Protus Symbiote is generally more dangerous than the Star-Eating Serpent, so it should be focused down quickly.
* In order to reduce the Protus Symbiote's healing and the strength of its +Boost/Bonus buff, Proteans should be reduced below 50% HP, but not defeated, in order to avoid their debilitating on-defeat effects.
* While the Star-Eating Serpent needs to be hit with Darkness to reduce its Solar Charge, this can usually be handled with a Darkness-aligned pet Dragon using Primal Fury and Outrage.
* Make sure to stun the Star-Eating Serpent every once in a while to reset the stacking -All/MPM/BPD effect.
== Classes ==
