Gnash and Gullet
Two heads with two health bars. The head nearer to you takes most of each hit. Kill one head and the other eats it and rages.
Phases
Base health. The game multiplies boss health by 1.8, and by 1 plus 0.5 for every floor of depth, so the real number on its own floor is higher. 1450 × 1.8 = 2610.
Story
The Order's hound, bred with two heads so it could track the walking dead and hold them at once. Morvaunt fed it on the bodies of the crypt until it could not stop. Gnash tears; Gullet swallows; each one starves when the other dies.
Attacks
A lane is marked, then Gnash, the front head, lunges along it and snaps.
A cone from Gullet, the high head: a fan of bile and two globs that leave burning pools beside you.
A ring marks where it will land, then it leaps.
With one head left. Gnash alone lunges three times in a row; Gullet alone opens a cone that drags you towards its mouth: walk out sideways.
The howl calls ghouls. In bloodlust it pounces twice, each landing sends out a shockwave, and the howl throws a ring of bile with a gap.
How to win
- Stand on the side of the head you want to kill: it takes most of the damage.
- The pounce ring is where it lands, not where it is. Step out of it, then hit it while it recovers.
- In bloodlust keep a dash for the shockwave after each landing.
