Reviil Prime and Primal Reviil (The Final Boss)

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about one of the most basic elements of any story in any action literature, series, video games, movies, etc... The Bosses. The Bosses are an element just as important as the protagonist and the antagonist, since they are like that kind of key or message that tells us that the final stretch is here... But it won't be easy to get it. As for Boss, there can be more than one, categorized from the easiest to the most difficult (there are also Mini-Bosses, which don't require as much to defeat but won't let themselves be hurt just like that), something that our series, DEDsafio 3, has, and for this occasion, I'm going to talk to you now about the...FINAL BOSS...of this third edition.

Final Boss: Reviil Prime / Primal Reviil

Name and Appearance

Reviil Prime was a fully evolved form of the initial Reviil that players faced at the beginning of the series. In this phase, he had transformed into a divine, mechanical entity, combining dark powers with ancient technology.

His shining obsidian and gold armor radiated power, and his eyes burned with a purple glow, symbolic of his connection to the corruption of the world.

He carried a gigantic staff that controlled the energy of the server, and his movements were majestic and deadly.

In his second phase, Primal Reviil, he abandoned his physical form and became a colossal beast, an amalgam of shadows and pure energy that dominated the battlefield.

Location: The Server Core

The final battle took place in the Server Core, a gigantic floating platform suspended in the void, with zones that gradually collapsed as the fight progressed.

The stage was surrounded by energy vortexes, representing the instability of the server in its final moments.

During the second phase, the Core would collapse even further, leaving players with minimal areas to stay safe.

Combat Mechanics

Phase 1: Reviil Prime

Area Attacks: He would fire energy blasts from his staff that would cover large areas, forcing players to constantly dodge.

Some blasts would leave lingering effects, such as burning damage or slowing.

Focused Laser: A deadly beam that would follow a targeted player, forcing them to constantly move to avoid being eliminated.

Summoning Specters: Reviil Prime would call forth corrupted specters, dark versions of previously fallen players, to attack the party.

These specters mimicked the abilities of the original players, making combat even more chaotic.

Energy Traps: He would create zones on the ground that would explode if players did not quickly avoid them. Immunity Shield:

At certain times, Reviil Prime would activate a shield that made him invulnerable until players destroyed energy nodes scattered around the arena.

Phase 2: Primal Reviil

When Reviil Prime reached 50% of his health, combat would completely transform:

Transformation: Reviil would ascend into the air, shouting an iconic phrase that echoed throughout the server, and become Primal Reviil, an ethereal and hulking form.

In this form, his attacks were much faster and more devastating, and the combat terrain was drastically reduced.

Waves of Darkness: He would release massive waves of dark energy that covered almost the entire arena, forcing players to seek shelter in the few remaining safe spaces.

Cloning: Primal Reviil would create clones of himself that would attack simultaneously, confusing players. Only the original could take damage.

Mind Control: At a critical moment, Primal Reviil could corrupt a player, turning them against their team for several seconds.

Final Attack: In his final moments, Primal Reviil attempted to destroy all remaining players with an attack that covered the entire arena. The only way to survive was to activate a specific mechanism in the core, which required perfect coordination.

Combat Strategies

Absolute Coordination: Teams had to clearly divide roles to destroy nodes, handle specters, and protect corrupted allies.

Mobility: With a small field and constant attacks, staying on the move was crucial.

Resource Management: The sky blue and orange deditas collected previously were vital to resist massive damage and keep the team alive.

Strategy Against Clones: Quickly identifying the original Reviil was key to not wasting time and resources attacking the clones.
