Mission 15: Wrath of the Removed

Distorted Caves Entrance

**WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS THAT MAY SPOIL YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE MAP.**

**Mission 15** is the final mission of Assassin of Steve 3, where you must defeat Replicus and save the Overworld.

## Walkthrough

Upon leaving the End at the end of Mission 14, you spawn in a small room with a button on the wall. Press that button once everybody has exited the end, and you will be put into a cutscene where you find you are back in the Assassin's Tower, with the Orb, but something is not right. A way out opens at the bottom of the room - slightly visible due to the red glass. Drop down to it, and go through it, and you will find that gravity in the Assassin's Tower has somehow gone onto its side.

Some Replicus Clones spawn in the Assassin's Tower. Fight your way past them, until you get to a glass wall. Go through the slots on each side, and defeat the Replican Uivvah that spawns there. Upon doing so King Parcore and Roger will teleport to you, and King Parcore will place some granite blocks for you to climb up the red wall beyond. At the top you will get onto a red glass platform, and can grapple up to one of the two wings of the tower on its side. In each wing are more Replican Clones and a Replican Uivvah in each. You have to defeat both the Replican Uivvahs, and then King Parcore will place more granite blocks to climb up higher.

At the top you can get through the slots to the other side of the wall, then fly across to the bridge with the granite platform. From there you can fly through either room to the side - they both eventually lead to the exit. Fight your way past all the Replican Clones on the way down, until you reach the very bottom, where you will find another Replican Uivvah. Defeat it, and the way out of the Assassin's Tower will open. Drop into it to leave.

### Boss Fight: Replicus

You will appear in the Master's arena - a large circular platform made out of white glass with bedrock for the edges. It is impossible to fall off the platform.

#### Stage 1

Initially Replicus will spawn in a melee phase. He will spawn a wave of many melee Replicus Clones around him that last for about 25 seconds, before he spawns another wave. There is no indication of which Replicus Clone is the real one, so you should use a sword with high sweeping damage to take out all the clones. The real one has knockback resistance while none of the clones do. When you defeat the real Master he will move into Stage 2.

#### Stage 2

This time Replicus is ranged, using an orb that charges up before launching a magic arrow. He will also spawn ranged Replicus clones around him. Unlike in Stage 1, where the clones will likely all bunch up together and attack you at once, in Stage 2, the real Replicus and all his clones will likely spread out. In this stage, however, the real Replicus emits black and white smoke, and also only the real Replicus has knockback resistance.

#### Stage 3

This time Replicus is inflicted with glowing, getting a purple outline, and stands immobile in the centre. More melee and ranged clones will spawn from Replicus. Replicus himself has some special abilities - firstly, if you approach him, three seconds later he will emit a number of large explosions that will knock you away. The explosions will not damage him. Another ability takes place about once every 25 seconds, alternate to the clone-spawning, where he will choose a random player and constantly summon explosions on that player for about three seconds. The explosions will likely blast that player upwards, to the top of the arena.

#### Stage 4

After defeating Stage 3, you are teleported away from the arena, and to the entrance to the Distorted Caves. Except now Replicus, in his gigantic, ultimate form, is standing over it, holding the Orb in his hands. Initially a wave of Replicus Clones and a Replicus Uivvah will spawn. You have to defeat the Replicus Uivvah, then after the cutscene some grappling hooks will spawn on the Replicus's right leg (from his perspective, so left leg from the perspective of someone facing him). Grapple up them, and then parkour up the inside of Replicus's rib cage. Some Uivvah Minions spawn inside the rib cage, so be sure to shoot them dead. Upon reaching the top of Replicus's torso climb onto one of his arms. Then get down it and climb onto the Orb. Press one of the buttons on top of the Orb, and then it will blow up.

Starting from here Replicus gains some new offensive abilities that he will use against you - some fireballs will occasionally fall from the sky above a random player every so often, and they have a rather large explosion power, so be careful. Also Replican Creepers will occasionally spawn across the area. They are invisible charged creepers, so you can still see their electricity. They will explode instantly after lighting their fuse, and have an explosion radius of 10, which is easily capable to taking out a large chunk of your health if you're not blocking with your shield.

Two more Replican Uivvahs as well as another wave of Replicus Clones will spawn. You have to defeat both the Replican Uivvahs, then you will be told to shoot both Replicus's arms with arrows. The grappling hooks will have disappeared by now, so you have to shoot from the ground. Given how high they are, and the large number of Replican Creepers and fireballs falling from the sky, it can be hard to get a good shot, but if you stand directly below the arms and shoot up you should be able to hit them. You have to get 8 arrows on an arm in order to destroy it. Destroying an arm will cause another wave of Replicus Clones and another Replican Uivvah to spawn, however you do not need to defeat it.

Once you destroy both arms Replicus will throw you around for a bit with his telekinesis before you land at the feet of Opara, who has come back after being missing since the Assassin boss fight. Stand next to him to get thrown up into the sky, then use elytra to fly across and inside one of the Master's eyes.

Then a cutscene will show you zooming out of the Replicus's head, before the screen goes black, and you hear a massive explosion.

### The End

After the final cutscene and the credits, you will spawn in the End Hub, and receive a message congratulating you for completing Assassin of Steve 3. If you get that far, great job!

## Mobs

* Replicus Clones are clones of Replicus. In the Assassin's Tower and during Replicus's Ultimate Form boss fight, the Replicus Clones can switch between melee and ranged weapons, the melee being dual Master Swords and the ranged being a magical orb that charges up before launching a magical arrow. They have quite a lot of health, knockback resistance, and knockback on their weapons.
* Replican Uivvahs are withers. They have a fair amount of health, and have the ability to summon Uivvah Minions.
* Uivvah Minions are mobs that look like the Ancient Uivvah Ranged from Mission 10, except they're actually killable. They don't have a lot of health, but they do inflict wither for 30 seconds with their bows, which will prevent your Natural Regeneration during that time.

## Equipment

* Master Sword: 1000 attack damage, 501 sweeping damage, No Attack Cooldown, Knockback XX, 2000 DPS, +100% Knockback Resistance on user...

No, I'm totally kidding. That sword does not exist and it's not obtainable.

There is no new equipment in this mission.

### Recommendations

* The Replicus Clones, Uivvahs, Creepers and Uivvah Minions possess an alarming trait where they are immune to offensive effects from Runes, as well as also being immune to Spiny Cacti.
	+ You do not get a chance to change runes or visit the shop at all between Missions 14 and 15, so you're stuck with whatever rune you chose at the end of Mission 13.
	+ With that in mind, you should not use the Rune of Blaze, Cave, Distortion, Electricity, or other similar offensive runes that inflict damage or effects to enemy mobs.
	+ However, runes you can still use and take advantage of include the Rune of Assassin, Dimensional Healing, Dark Strength, Obsidian, Health Boost, and more.
* The Replicus Clones all have very high health, so in order to take them down quickly, the Assassin Waraxe build as described in Mission 13 can be effective, allowing you to kill them in 2-3 hits depending on difficulty and if you critical hit.
* The Red/Green Shulker Bow or Redstone Beam can be useful for levitating the Replicus Clones into the air, however given their high health it would take many shots for you to take them down.
* In the arena during Stage 1 use a greatsword like the Fire Blade or Blue Engraved Greatsword against the mobs. If you don't have either just use a Void Katana, Laser Rapier, Chain Block Edge, or Assassin's Blades. This will enable you to deal massive damage to all the clones as well as to the real Replicus.
* During Stage 2 a spam-click weapon is more advised given how fast all the mobs move and how difficult it can be to land hits on them. This makes the Assassin's Blades very useful here, due to its additional sweeping damage. The Inferno Rod, Electric Stick and Claws of Chorus can also work, but do bear in mind that the latter has Knockback II, and can knock the enemy you're trying to attack away. On the other hand, only the real Replicus has knockback resistance, so that can be an easy way of telling you're attacking the right one.
* A Force Field is very useful to place in the arena, as otherwise you will likely die over and over again. It can also be good during the Ultimate Form boss fight.

## Chest Locations

There are no loot chests throughout the entire mission, besides a single chest at the beginning with a couple Elytra and Grappling Hooks.

## Music

## Trivia

* This is the only mission in the map containing no new Equipment.
* The music tracks that play in the Assassin's Tower are the same set that plays in the tower in Mission 13.
* The mission's subtitle 'Wrath of the Removed' may be a subtle nod to the Hypixel map *Wrath of the Fallen*, with the word 'removed' substituted in due to the relation of Black Steve, Beast Boy and Rana being removed from Minecraft.
