BOSS

boss is a game mode in item asylum. Players are required to cooperate as a team with the goal of defeating a common enemy through the use of various items and abilities before time runs out. As such, they cannot harm each other and may only do so to the opponent(s) found on the maps.
__NOTOC__
==Overview==
Bosses typically have a number of stipulations that make it teamwork-reliant, requiring the contribution of all players involved with the fight to be defeated. Although what concerns them vary depending on the map, they have notable traits in common, such as being immune to ragdoll and knockback, a massive amount of health and have a health bar show globally for all players and the lack of natural regenerative properties. Once they are defeated, they will remain so indefinitely until the round ends.
The mode features a unique system of lives that depletes each time a player dies, and will hold them off in limbo if they run out, allowing them to spectate the players that are still alive. Lives vary from boss to boss and cannot be regained by any means (with the exception of Uncertified where players gain 2 lives after each waves (1 if they lost all their lives during that wave)). Joining in the midst of a boss fight will not grant the individual any lives.
There is also a special mode exclusive to private servers called "The Perfect Run," which locks players to 1 life, and they cannot give items or respawn players if turned on. Beating a boss with this mode turned on will grant you a badge. These badges have the possibility of granting rewards such as in-game items; refer to Badges for more information.
=== Rage Meter ===
Added in v1.5.0, the Rage Meter is a meter designed after Combat King situated above the player's health bar. The meter slowly fills with a red bar when the user is within close proximity to an enemy or dealing damage, and decreases when far away or upon taking damage. As the meter fills, the user gains up to +0.5× damage. The meter also fills when close to any damagable NPC, including noobs.
The Rage Meter also appears in JGN.

== Blacklisted items ==
Note that BOSS shares an item blacklist with JGN.
==Trivia==
*clayman was removed due to general unpopularity within the community, but was re-added a year later with a full-on revamp.
*manofnature was temporarily removed in the v0.8.0 update due to the AI of the boss being reworked along with roomba. It was later re-added in v1.4.0.
*You can't enable Always KIT while Perfect-Running these bosses. The reason is probably due to the user potentially getting overpowered items in the kits. They can however enable it if they're not Perfect-Running bosses.
*Always KIT does not work on boss_contamination
*The boss's health icon is a reference to Friday Night Funkin's health bar icon.
*The rage meter is likely a reference to its homonymous counterpart in Terraria: Calamity, only available in Revengeance Mode, both being designed to boost the player's damage output for prolonged boss fights.
