Final Volcano Boss#951

As the culmination of all our effort, the trench run on the Deathstar if you will, the final mission was very easy. We took out the near leg and then literally mortared the other two in complete safety in about 30 seconds. The entire mission was over in less than two minutes. When the cut scene played one of our players made the comment, “Was that it?”.

Not sure if this is just a temporary final fight and you all have a big new one on the horizon we just thought this one really could use upping the deathwish level.

Someone didn’t read the roadmap. I’ll spoil it for you : yes, a final boss is planned. A lot of bosses are planned actually, each lava source will be different.

OMG! SQUEEEE! I love this game.

here is an idea of how the final boss fight could go.

after killing the final drill ( as is ) there is a new passage that opens up that will lead players to an island thats disconnnected from the main island that we play on.

the island will be relitivly smooth maybe some hills and things for cover fire there will be 10 drill landing sites and depending on the difficulty the number of sites will be filled by drill ships that will keep spawning in waves. the small arena island is distant from the main land thus allowing players to safly live on the surface of the island while eruption happens but the dust cloud will still happen making it hard ro see ( good reasson to have lights on your ship )

in the center of the arena ( location where no range turret will reach from aall sites ) there will be a megga cog ( the one used in the mod spot light.

between each landing site there will be a super heater ( the mod spot light )

players will land with no cogs on the island

players can not reach supper cog because the hot lava

players destroy a heater and the first wave comes up and the super heaters cant be damaged while the waves are going on ( heathers retreact underground ).

all drill ships removed and the mega cog comes up for a end wave fight
( each end wave fight will allow the drill ship to target the mega cog battle will last ( number of waves over full health so 10 waves wave 1 will at max hit 1/10 HP ) players can also loot drill ship for parts ores and other things. players would also need to have full production and refinery running to keep stock of ammo and other things during fights as undergound will have little of each ore and same with the surface.

when wave damage hits the mega cog will return underground causeing a local eruption to give new ores to resupply the drill ship. returning to the center of the arena.

cog ships will start coming up but the next wave will not start until the next heater is removed

after the first wave starts the drill ship can not leave the island it can move to empty drill sites to better target the mega cog durring battles.

if a player drill ship attempts to leave players will find that the lave pass they used to enter is closed off by lava and if they fight to get to the other side aall mods will be destroyed and possible some wagons removed due to damage.

Why would all of this happen on a different, barren and empty island ? I know there currently isn’t any story, but how would that make any sense ? Why couldn’t this happen in the volcano heart, replacing what is currently the 4th laser instead of adding another boss fight after the final boss fight ?

i was just thinking it as a reasson that players couldnt just walk into the area from the start of the game you could even do it in the mouth of the valcano all the way at the top and have step clifs working as a map edge where the island it would have been water.

a suggestion for the final fight: since the legs only cause the eruption maybe there will be a main power storage/collector at the center of the volcano which we will have to destroy and when its destroyed we will have to run from the explosion
