The False Prophet is a Boss in Megido: Abyss.

### The False Prophet Information

The False Prophet is the boss of the Darkwater Palace. You can get to him by walking past the Scion of Delirium arena, then swimming until you reach the central room of the Palace. The Prophet will only appear in the room after deactivating the Barrier Crystal at the end of the area. The nearest Save Crystal is located at Pygmy Burrows.

## Attacks

* Anima Volley
* Geyser
* Hailstorm
* Anima Shot - Usually in bursts of 3. Depending on proximity to the player, the Prophet may decide to do regular melee strikes instead of firing Anima.
* Clone Anima Shot (2x) + Anima Volley - Two clones will spawn, on opposite corners of the arena. Prophet himself will teleport to one of the other two corners. Each Clone will fire an Anima Shot, while Prophet casts Anima Volley.
* Anima Volley (3x) - False Prophet will cast Anima Volley, three times in a row.
* Clone Anima Shot (4x) - Four clones will spawn, one in every corner of the arena. Each one will fire an Anima Shot, all at the same time.
* Wrath\*
* Clone Anima Shot\* (6x) - Clones will periodically spawn in corners of the arena, firing Anima Shots one after another, six in total.
* Infinite Anima Volley\*\* - Prophet will infinitely cast Anima Volleys one after another, until he is defeated.
* Water Blessing\*\* - At the start of the second phase sequence and the third phase, the Prophet casts Water Blessing, increasing his Anima Shot and Anima Volley damage for 60 seconds. This does not affect his clones. \* - Phase 2 only. \*\* - Enrage Phase only.

## Attack Sequence (Repeating)

* Phase 1 (100-50% HP):
	+ (Start of Fight): > Anima Volley > Geyser > Anima Shot > Hailstorm >> Clone Anima Shot (2x) + Anima Volley > Anima Shot > Anima Volley (3x) > Clone Anima Shot (4x) > Plunge
* Phase 2 (50-10% HP)
	+ Water Blessing > Anima Volley > One of these two sequences, depending on proximity:
		- If close: [Geyser > Anima Shot (x2 if in close proximity, x3 if not) > Wrath]
		- If not: Anima Volley, then repeat this proximity check. If you are close, does the [Geyser > Anima Shot > Wrath] sequence. If you are not, does Anima Volley, then proceeds to the next part of the Phase 2 Sequence.
	+ >>> Clone Anima Volleys >> Clone Anima Shot (2x) + Anima Volley > One of these two sequences, depending on proximity >> Chain Clone Projectiles > Plunge
		- [Hailstorm > Anima Volley > Anima Volley > Hailstorm]
		- [Geyser > Anima Shot > Wrath]
* Enrage Phase (10-0% HP)
	+ Infinite Anima Volley

## Rewards & Drops

* Essence of The False Prophet

## Tips

* Light-weight Bleed weapons such as Bloodlust or Crimson Straight Sword are highly effective in this fight. Depending on when you proc Bleed, you may be able to skip a large chunk of the 2nd phase, which is usually the hardest part of the Bossfight.
* The Prophet can be staggered out of Hailstorm. If done consistently, it can be a large damage opportunity.

## Trivia

* Anima Shot and Anima Volley can be deflected with the Essence Shield.
