== Additional Information ==
*The boss of this world is in the ruins of a castle you can find at the base of the stairs you follow from the landing pad at Treehouse in 8Squared simulation. Following the ruins you come to a clearing with a shader model as the Halloween boss.
*This boss has a variety of abilities that are to be dealt with. The arms spin around and deal damage as a normal attack. There are also smaller targets (Scatter Drones) that spawn periodically and travel towards players to do damage. The Shader boss will also spin it's large arms around, and summon a stationary damage field which you can observe as a wire frame polygon figure. Avoid or destroy the Scatter drones, stay out of the damage fields, and attack the boss to complete the quest.
*At first this encounter was more difficult than intended for a few reasons. The Scatter drones were not moving, and remained in place well after they had been either defeated, ignored, or the shader boss had been killed. This left remnants that were targetable, and could confuse the ability to correctly attack the active drones and even the boss. Additionally the boss shader didn't seem to be in phase with the world, and it was near impossible to actually target the boss. If you had some sort of area attack you could damage the boss, but using a single target attack was nearly impossible. It was also had to use any class or weapon abilities as many of those require you to have a target as well. Patches fixed these issues, and it was more in line with how the encounter was intended in the final weeks of the Halloween event.
