DungeonRun Toxic Sludge

== What is Toxic Sludge? ==
Toxic Sludge is a powerful, living Slime whose toxic ooze has plagued the Sewers for years. It's foul stench and dead stare will chill the heart of even the strongest warrior, and those who ignore their conscience telling them to run, may face dire consequences. Can you clear the Sludge and let the waters run clean again?
== Finding Toxic Sludge? ==
Toxic Sludge is located in the boss chamber of room 25 of the Sewers theme Dungeon Run. It's lair is located in a huge, poisonous slime pit with a platform in the center. The platform is largely featureless besides a raised pillar in the middle that acts as the only cover from the Sludge's slimy grip. The slime around the pit is very dangerous and can melt unprepared players into goo in seconds.
== Battling Toxic Sludge ==
The Toxic Sludge is not hard to destroy, however the arena itself is challenging to survive. The Sludge can throw players half the length of the arena, ending up in the pit surrounding the platform. There are ladders to escape but falling in can quickly lead to a loss. The Toxic Sludge itself attacks up close and deals poison damage, as well as summon basic Slimes to it's aid. The Sludge moves quite fast for a slime, especially when upset and focused on a target. The Toxic Sludge can also splash electric ooze at nearby players causing Poison and weakness. Finally, the Toxic Sludge can occasionally dodge an attack, causing it to have no effect (roughly 20% of attacks).
Beyond staying alive and out of the poison pit around the edges, the Toxic Sludge battle is fairly simple. Brute force attacks are not recommended however due to the Sludge's ability to throw players into the acid. It is possible to place blocks in the arena (but not water) however the blocks will break within seconds of being placed so their use is limited.
== Notes From the Field ==
* The Toxic Sludge is vulnerable to ranged attacks, and has no effective long-range attacks.
* The smaller Slimes do little damage however they can push players into the acid.
* In the EPIC theme Run, the Toxic Sludge appears in Room 50. In this mode, the central pillar of the arena explodes after the Sludge is slain so best to avoid standing too close!
* Avoid standing between the Toxic Sludge and the pit edge to avoid being thrown into the acid below.
* A Grappling Hook is a very valuable piece of equipment to have on hand during a Toxic Sludge fight, if you are lucky enough to find one!
