Bone Crusher

## Endgame Boss

Bone Crusher is the endgame boss of the mod Apex Alpha. He is an immensely powerful being who is suddenly a hero who needs to be saved from the corruption. He is currently the most powerful, difficult, and largest boss in the entire game and every single mod, 3.5x harder than the famed King Titan.

He is fought in the Bone Volcano Arena, in Bone Volcano.

## Basic Info

### Behaviour

Upon entering the arena, the boss will strike massive flaming crystals from the floor, then a timer of 1 hour will begin to defeat the boss. He randomly moves around the arena. When he enters the center of the arena, he creates an enormous force field around him that reduces damage taken by 75% until it is destroyed. His attacks are only telekinesis powers to lift you up and use it to slam you in objects, and a slam attack where he slams his target into a wall. Like other bosses, he summons minions. His minions are random inhabitants of the

He will also spawn Cave Monsters around him to gain the advantage. He randomly talks every 20 seconds. In the second phase of the battle, he will show more of his attacks, throwing boulders, using fire breath and powers, and will begin using his two melee attacks, which is a smash attack and a flaming bash, and after the bash he will punch the target.

In the third and final phase, he will bring up his ultimate wrath, and bring out his sword, where he will add his slashing attacks.

Once tamed via defeated, the boss shrinks to 1.2x the size of the player. His height depends on how tall the player is.

### Appearance

Bone Crusher is equally, like his other incarnations, a skeleton-dragon-god super hybrid. He is a living dragon skeleton made of fossilized deepslate stone with golden shoulder blades on where the shoulder bones would usually be. He has many scrapes on his body. His skeleton-like arms are long and have barnacles forming on them. He has many cracks on his body with lava coming out of them. Hanging from the golden shoulder blade is his cape. Down the spine and his Tyrannosaurus-like ribs is his hips, and does not have any legs (prior to one of his alias "The Floating Demon").

Red crystals are seen on his back, and red glowing crystals are on his lower jaw. His claws are also examples of the glowing red crystals. His hands, the only part of him not made of depilate stone, is instead made of the original variant.

Bone Crusher is surprisingly enormous, 1.20x larger than the King Titan, and could win in 10 battles against two King Titans without dying.

The source of his power and serves as his life source is the Bone Gem, a red jewel encored from the underworld itself.

### General

Bone Crusher is incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat. The boss fight recommends you to bring the max limit endgame tamed dinos, bring a friend, and endgame weaponry.

#### Strategy

Never engage him in battle head on, as he deals heavy damage. Even the ferocious Giganotosaurus and even the great Titanosaur seems to crumble to more powerful opponents. Two of the best strategies of fighting the final boss are shown below.

* Bring a friend with a high level quetzal (It is not a good idea to use other flying creatures, since quetzals can tank the damage) and have it grab you while your friend is riding it. Then shoot the boss from afar while making sure you have a lot of ammo. Also, use some terrestrial and flying creatures to distract (and later sacrifice themselves to) the boss (fire-immune creatures are mostly recommended) while shooting with an Apex or Alpha rifle. He is easily distracted by corpses and attempts to heal himself via taking power from the corpse. This can become a big problem. If he fails to heal himself as he is pinned down by multiple prime creatures, the lava in the arena does 50,000 dmg "insta-kill".
* If riding a Giganoto or Titano, be sure to deal heavy damage and dodge/tank the heavier damage from the boss, for only 7-9 hits can kill a lvl 1-5 titano. Equip the Giganoto/Titano with heavy armor and auto turrets if platform, and if Giganoto, make sure it deals Gashed all the time while there is a 50% chance Bone Crusher may hesitate when 25% of his HP is lost for 60 sec, making it easier to win.

#### Recommended Tames

* Fire-Immune creatures are best at battling the boss, as they are immune to the lava and most of his fire attacks. Be sure to have them at high levels. Many people recommend pairing them up with a mate boosted Fire and Ice wyvern pair (Apex Alpha allows different wyverns can be mate boosted and breed) to tank the boss.
* Therizinos paired up with multiple rexes and daeodon are also highly recommended for fighting the boss, but will need help from the now tamable lave elemental, which will need to be carried out via cyropod (Cryopod is available on mobile with Apex Alpha) or tame request on mobile.

#### Weaponry

Any Endgame weapon will do. Alpha or Apex weapons and armor is best recommended for fighting the boss.

#### Dangers

Bone Crusher is incredibly powerful. There are many dangers and disadvantages to fighting the boss. Some of the worst dangers are, but not limited to, the following.

* The boss can summon the mini-bosses Eternal Inferno and Molten Fighter every time he summons minions. Be sure to have a little comeback of fighting them.
* The boss is capable of healing himself by absorbing power from corpses of deceased creatures in the battlefield. Be sure to immediately destroy the corpses to prevent him from healing. Otherwise, the boss will take the upper advantage.
* The boss has a famously balanced amount of the primary stats (Unbalanced is more than 1 Million), ie Health and Damage. The boss can easily defeat many not endgame creatures if not prepared. He also has a fast attack rate when in battle phase 3.
* Bone Crusher has the ability to fly, and is much faster than even the Quetzal. He can also outrun a quetzal at full speed.
* There are many massive lava pools and rivers in the even more massive arena. The boss is also immune to fire and lava and is capable of swimming in the lava. Bone Crusher can also potentially swing/throw you into a lava pool from the other side of the arena.
* The moment 5 seconds pass without the boss attacked, he will start regenerating until he is attacked again, but he has insane HP regen (5000 HP per sec) once it happens.
* It is very dangerous to climb onto the Bone Gem between his ribs, as he will protect it whenever he can and swing you off to where you receive incredibly powerful fall damage.

#### Weaknesses

Despite holding immense power and has many advantages against you, he also has a few weaknesses.

* The attack rate of the boss is much slower in the first two phases of the battle. making it easy to dodge the attacks if possible.
* Bone Crusher can be grappled using grappling hooks, meaning you can grapple onto his back (He cannot attack anything on his back), reel yourself in, and hit the boss from behind, preventing him from regenerating if your Dinos are not attacking.

## Utility

### Roles

* **Endgame Boss Tank:** Being a final boss that is tamable with incredibly high stats, Bone Crusher is very good for a tank. He is also much faster and has an intensely insane but still balanced amount of the primary stats compared to the Giganoto and even the Titano.
* **Raids:** Once tamed, the boss is STILL capable of damaging every single material in-game, meaning he is the best creature for boss raids, and could even take on a tame Titano.
* **Transportation:** Pressing the saddle button will make the boss create a floating force field and put you inside, allowing you to "ride" the forcefield as you can control the boss on where it moves. The player inside the forcefield, however, gets damaged when a weapon is aimed at the player.
	+ **Teleportation:** Once tamed, the boss can also teleport anywhere, nulling the requirement for an enforcer or regular means of travel. To teleport, press the LL button, then the map will appear. Press an area on the map to teleport to the area.
	+ **Lava Transportation:** When riding the forcefield you can control the boss to move across lava.
* **Fire/Lava Immunity:** Bone Crusher is immune to fire prior to his element, rendering he and yourself if carried by forcefield immune to fire-based weapons. The boss also is immune to lava, allowing you to be transported across lava.
