Cadeyrn the Wretched

Cadeyrn the Wretched fallen knight of Vortigryn al Mahgin The Blood Forsaken is the Lieutenant of the aforementioned dead god Vortigryn al Mahgin. Little is known about the dead god his corpse provides power to Cadeyrn, and his generals. The corpse is also the location which the player fights Cadeyrn if the chose to challenge him.

Cadeyrn the Wretched has a shop in the nether dungeon where the player may trade goods and their own health for strong items and magic. Every few days once the dungeon spawns Cadeyrn will announce it's xyz concordance. The Nether shop will always be on the east wing of the dungeon. Approaching the shop he will warn you away from getting too close. If you do (about 2-3 blocks) we will give you a final warning. Backing up and approaching again will start a "cutscene" for you and everyone in the shop where Cadeyrn sucks you into Vortigryns's skull and teleports you to the arena and the track Hammer of Pompeii (or pigstep if you don't have the resourcepack) will play. Players who enter the shop after this wishing to join the fight will find the shop in shambles and a massive skull with End gateway portals in set. Jumping into one will teleport you to the fight, but you won't be able to see him health bar until after a few attacks, as well if he dies before you see his health bar you won't get a dedicated loot chest. After he is defeated you will be granted access to The Treasure room, a serene room with lots of loot, enchanting table, end chest, and a portal back to the shop. The shop will be restored, but Cadeyrn will appear in his reduced form. You will now also have access to the larger part of custom crafting.

The Fight is split into to 2 phases, consisting of two main parts. In the first phase you will find your self on a large skeleton partly submerged in a cavern of lava. The player must run and jump between the bones and rocks. Building is possible, but Cadeyrn will consistently be destroying blocks. His first phase attacks come into parts a main attack and a basic attack. Basics happen after every main attack. The main attacks are more deadly and telegraphed by lines that appear in the chat and often visually.

## Mechanics

The breakdown of Cadeyrn's mechanics is as following:

### Phase One

 *'Pathetic mortals, daring to stand before me...'*
*'You WILL fear me!'*
 *'[Random player name]! I will cleave your bones!'*
...*'I will cleave ALL of you!'*

After the second shot, Cadeyrn will shout, *'I will cleave ALL of you!',* after which he will fire a final, third projectile at every player in the arena. This projectile deals double the damage as the first two projectiles, and is a red color.
 *'Awaken, children of Vortigryn!'* | Cadeyrn moves to the giant skull and destroys 3 random bone blocks inside the arena, turning them into skeletons in the process. The skeletons are raised into the air and move towards Cadeyrn, after which they are dipped into lava and transformed into wither skeletons and are then launched towards a random player.

 *'Your soul belongs to me!'* | Cadeyrn summons flying Vex skulls, one for each player in the arena. The skulls circle Cadeyrn once, after which they lock onto their respective player and chase them down. The skulls fizzle out if they hit a block, which destroys the block in the process. This attack cannot be blocked by a shield.

If a player is hit by a Vex skull, they will be damaged and have their soul taken from them, which flies back towards Cadeyrn and heals him.

Once Cadeyrn reaches around half health, he will begin to transition the arena into Phase Two. The entire arena is turned to ash in the process, and Cadeyrn will fly down from his horse to chase down the player for the rest of the fight.

## Phase Two

Phase two fully begins after Cadeyrn has fully transformed the arena, flown down off of his horse, and flown towards the player.

General notes:

* Cadeyrn has very high resistance to projectiles and explosions during this phase.

* Cadeyrn has fairly high knockback resistance during this phase.

* Cadeyrn will set you on fire with every hit.
* Cadeyrn periodically(every 7-10 seconds) clears Wither and Slowness effects that are applied to him.

* If the player touches soul-fire during this phase, they will be withered, even if they have fire resistance.

* Hiding will only make things worse for you.

* Seriously, don't hide.

* If you hide, you will die.
