Mods/The Aether/Sun Spirit

The boss of the Gold Dungeon is the large and powerful Sun Spirit with a flaming aura. If the player stands under the flaming aura, they will be set on fire and damage will be inflicted. The Sun Spirit will refuse to fight until it is spoken to enough times by right-clicking, and will taunt the player before defying him/her to battle. Upon right-clicking him the final time, the battle will commence, usually after a short delay (which can sometimes look like the game freezing). The boss will circle around the arena shooting fireballs which explode and set the player on fire on contact. These are not particularly damaging in themselves, but the main source of damage comes from touching the boss himself, which removes over 3 Life Points with each hit and also set the player on fire. The boss cannot be harmed by any weapon other than the ice bombs which it very occasionally shoots. These must be knocked into the boss using a Bow or Dart Shooter, as melee weapons are generally ineffective. On each hit from the ice balls, the boss will send out a minion, which will continually harass the player until killed. These must be eliminated quickly as they cause large amounts of damage and can rapidly deplete a full health bar. After a number of hits (approximately 10), the boss will fall over in defeat, but not before sending out a final minion which can catch the unwary player off guard. Upon killing the Sun Spirit (and the minion!!), an achievement will pop up, reading "Extinguished". The boss yields a gold key when killed. The key will open a Locked Chest, which contains the best dungeon rewards, like the Vampire Blade, Gravitite armor, and the Iron Bubble. To find the chest you must dig the walls of the dungeon but only one side will hold it. Once boss is killed, The Sun will move the same, as in the overworld, changing from Day, to Night.

To defeat the Sun Spirit, you must deflect the ice bombs it shoots.
