The Avatar of the Forgotten King is an event boss that drops the entrance to The Shatters, and has a very small chance of dropping the Tablet of the King’s Avatar.
Charged with guarding the only entrance to The Shatters. Within is a dark power which once sought to take over Oryx’s Realm. (Steam Trading Card: Avatar of the Forgotten King)
The Realm Eye says: |
---|
After being trapped in his castle, forgotten by his own sentinel, the king of the Shatters knew he would need to begin his assault on the realm with a more indirect approach. The Twilight Archmage’s magic granted the king the ability to project a spiritual manifestation of himself into the realm. The many horrors of this avatar are actually a much truer depiction of the king’s inner madness. His mind is lost in his own delusions of grandeur, and his soul is lost to even darker forces. |

The Avatar is battled in its own special setpiece that has four pools of Pure Evil in the corners that deal damage on contact. There are also 4 Killer Pillars in the corners that activate during Phase 4. The boss does not move.
Has the Armored status effect activated most of the time, resulting in an effective DEF of 135. Only during the time when it’s flashing red (once it stops firing shots) will its DEF be normal.
When not in a phase, the Avatar will use the following attacks in order:
While not in any phase, the Avatar might shout one of these taunts:
”BURN!”
”HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
”LEAVE THIS PLACE!”
After these attacks, the Avatar will flash red and stop shooting for about 3 seconds, allowing players to attack it. It will lose the Armored status during this rest period, making it an opportune time to strike.
”Foolish whelps…leave me be…”
”I must gather my strength..”
The Boss will enter these phases in order at certain HP intervals, approximately every time it loses 1/5 HP. During a phase (except the Blobomb phase), the Avatar is invulnerable and passive until all its summons are destroyed.
Phase 1: Shades of the Avatar
Taunt: ”Be consumed by shadow!”
The Boss summons 8 Shades of the Avatar around it that remain stationary and fire both radial and aimed attacks, while healing each other frequently for large amounts of health.
On reactivation: “You show some strength, but your conviction is lacking.”
Phase 2: Eyes of the Avatar
Taunt: ”EYE see you!”
The Boss spawns a large group of Eyes of the Avatar that orbit the boss while firing aimed white bullets. An important note is that once one Eye has been killed all other Eyes must be killed within 10 seconds, otherwise they will all respawn.
On reactivation: “Do not test me, whelps!”
Phase 3: Blobombs
Taunt: ”You shall be food for the ether. Blobs, attack!”
The Avatar summons three waves of 8 Blobombs (for a total of 24) from the pools around his arena, which chase players and attempt to explode on them. Note that the Avatar will immediately become active again upon summoning the second wave.
On reactivation: “I shall destroy you!”
Phase 4: Killer Pillars
Taunt: ”You leave me no choice…”
”ACTIVATING PILLAR DEFENSES.”
”Fools, this should take care of you.”
The 4 Killer Pillars around the boss activate one at a time, starting with the upper left one and rotating counter-clockwise around the arena. Once activated, the Pillars fire massive waves of highly-damaging bullets before becoming vulnerable and stopping for a few seconds. If a Pillar is not killed fast enough, it will go Invulnerable and repeat the attack.
On reactivation: “Destroying me will only serve to bring you closer to death.”
Death
Taunt: ”YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!”
The Avatar flashes red, then explodes into a nova of Fire Bullets, leaving behind all your hard-earned loot and a portal to The Shatters.
Spawns:
Phase 1:
Shades of the Avatar

Battle Tips
Pre-battle:
Between phases: Spirals
Phase 1: Shades
Phase 2: Eyes
Phase 3: Blobs
Three waves of 8 blobs spawn during the whole phase from the four pools of pure evil (purple water). The first wave is the easiest, as the Avatar does not fire any bullets, but is also invulnerable. The Avatar resumes his normal attacks when the second wave spawns. This phase should not be taken lightly as the blobs will try to come close to you and explode on you in a nova blast.
Phase 4: Killer Pillars
During MOTMG 2020, the sprite for Avatar of the Forgotten King changed to fit the Reconstruction theme. However, unlike most reskinned event bosses, the name did not change.
Before Exalt Version 2.0.2.0 (Aug 2021) Avatar of the Forgotten King used to have the following sprite
