Gluttony

> "*Over the Northern skyline, a purple aura spread all over the sky. It was supposed to be an auspicious sign, but as the sky became dark, the earth became darker, and the Evil Spirit tormented the continent, people start to realize that it was the source of the ominous disasters. The rumors say the unknown visitor from the Spiritual Realm can devour the whole world and overshadow the Sun, so it was named Gluttony. More secrets remain to be found by any late-comers.*"

**Gluttony** is the fourth and final alternate boss in *Gunfire Reborn*. The player can face against Gluttony at Chaos Realm at the end of the Hyperborean Jokul, once Pole Monarch has been defeated three times.

Alternatively, the player can face against Gluttony at Chaos Realm at the end of the Spiritual Assault Game Mode.

## Battle

 Fire? weapons are best used against Gluttony. Even though it has  Shields?, it does not take long to break, leaving only  Health?.

The battle takes place in a large circular arena, with Gluttony in the center levitating above a massive hole in the ground. The hole cannot be approached, leaving players with just the outer ring to move. Gluttony will never move from the center of the arena, making him an easy target.

Damage taken to most of its body is harshly reduced. Because of this, it is best to aim at its various weak spots. There are 3 different weak spots:

* 5 purple crystals located around its body, showing a large red circle when one is looked at. Some of these crystals will be blocked by its arms during attacks, while others are in places only other players can shoot at easily.
* After its Golden Hands attack, a blue hand will be revealed from its stomach mouth briefly.
* The giant mouth in its stomach can be attacked at any time, though it is significantly harder to hit due to the teeth getting in the way. It opens up wide after its Golden Hands attack and during its Devour attack, making it significantly easier to hit.

Once a crystal or the blue hand has taken enough damage it will be destroyed, preventing it from being shot for critical hits anymore.

### Phase 2

When its Health drops to 75% it will roar in anger, briefly becoming invincible and causing rock pillars to fall from the sky. Additionally, a pair of giant crystal maws are summoned into the arena. These maws move around the arena, trapping players between them until about 40% of the arena is accessible.

All crystal weak spots are removed, leaving only the blue hand and the stomach mouth as effective spots to attack.

### Phase 3

When its Health drops to 40% it will roar, briefly become invincible and cause rock pillars to fall again. This time however it will immediately begin its first Devour attack.

Every time a player is hit by this attack, Gluttony will recover 5% of its Health, recovering up to full Health if players do not take appropriate action by hiding behind a pillar.

Attacks continue as normal afterwards, though there is less time between them.

When its Health drops to 25%, the crystal maws will move closer once again, leaving only about 25% of the arena to move in.

### Attacks

Energy Cannons
Appears in all phases. Gluttony will focus, causing the 2 cannons above his shoulders to fire. Each will fire 7 times, for a total of 14 shots, dealing  Fire? damage with a small chance to inflict  Burning? every hit.

Simply moving out of the indicated red circles will be enough to avoid the attack.

Golden Hands
Appears in all phases. Gluttony will launch forward 3 massive golden energy hands forward, each dealing high damage in a large area on impact. Golden hands can be blocked by hitting rock pillars.

The 3rd energy hand will reveal the blue hand weak spot, giving players a good opportunity to attack it. If the blue hand is destroyed, the 3rd energy hand will not be launched.

In phase 3, the 3rd energy hand will be launched significantly faster, requiring a pillar or high  Movement Speed to avoid it.

Rock Walls
Appears in all phases. Gluttony will slam the ground, causing rock walls to spread out across the arena, reducing the space players can move. Rock walls disappear briefly after appearing.

A rock pillar will fall onto each player shortly afterwards. This rock pillar will remain in place until otherwise destroyed.

This attack is always followed up by either Energy Cannons or Golden Hands.

Note: Rock pillars will be destroyed if they fall on the rock wall. They also cannot fall at the outer edge of the arena.

Hand Sweep
Starts appearing in phase 2. Gluttony will target either the front half or the back half of the arena before sweeping his hand across it, causing high  Fire? damage that is guaranteed to inflict  Burning?.

The attack comes from the right side for the front attack, and the left side for the back attack, giving you less time to avoid it if you stand near those spots. If possible, always stand near the middle of the arena.

Shockwave
Starts appearing in phase 2. Gluttony slams the ground with a fist, causing a shockwave of rocks. Requires jumping over the shockwave to avoid taking damage.

Devour
Starts appearing in phase 3. Gluttony will open up its stomach mouth and starts dragging all players closer to it, dealing tiny damage constantly. After enough time has passed it will cause a massive explosion, dealing extremely high damage, enough to kill anyone that isn't extremely durable.

While the attack is happening, a warning "Pay attention to avoid!" is shown. To avoid the damage and the dragging effect, you must stand behind any rock pillars. High  Movement Speed and  Dashing should be used to reach a rock pillar.

On the first use, every hit to players will recover 5% of Gluttony's Health, making it especially important to avoid.

## Mysterious Jokul

Mysterious Jokul makes the fight against Gluttony harder.

* Gluttony receives a 2.1x  Health? and  Shields?/ Armor? modifier per Reincarnation level, instead of a 1.6x modifier. (From 4.0x to 4.5x at R1, and 13.6x to 17.1 at R7/8.)
* There is always a Challenge Event even if difficulty is not Reincarnation 8.
* During the Devour attack, Gluttony gains max Shield equal to 750% of his max Health and rapid Shield recovery, making any damage dealt against him meaningless unless it is dealt directly to Health or is so incredibly high that it breaks the Shield anyway.

## Notes

* Gluttony's  Shield? is only 1.25% of its  Health?, making bringing any  Lightning? weapons for dealing damage nearly pointless.
