**Archdemon Malphas** is the boss of the [Abyss of Demons](/wiki/abyss-of-demons). He is located in a large room with lava and can be found by navigating the Abyss. He himself is not too hard, but high defense is advised as his minions can really hurt. ###Contents - [Stats](#stats) - [Combat](#combat) - [Drops](#drops) - [Tips](#tips) ### Stats {#stats} HP: 10000

####Behavior 6 [White Demons](/wiki/white-demon) appear in the room with Malphas (not summons) before the fight begins. It is advised for clearing, or killing these guys before you start the fight unless you think you can take down Malphas quickly. Malphas changes size, and like other [dungeon bosses](/wiki/dungeon-bosses), he cycles through attack stages. He periodically goes invulnerable and maintains 4 protectors that orbit him rapidly throughout all his stages and shoot at players. ###Battle Phases: - Phase 1: Malphas is medium in size and summons several Malphas Missiles, traps that follow you and explode when they get close or when damaged enough. - Phase 2: Malphas is small and difficult to hit. He moves rapidly and randomly while firing small white bullets and silver shields that weaken you. Long range fighters should be cautious of his orbiting summons, Malphas Protectors, which are more difficult to avoid in this stage. He is vulnerable during the whole phase. - Phase 3: Malphas is large and shoots several large white bullets that deal heavy damage. He also shoots several large silver shields that [weaken](/wiki/status-effects#weak) you. - Phase 4: Malphas is medium in size and summons a number of [Malphas Flamers](/wiki/malphas-flamer), Abyss versions of Flamer Kings They explode before his next stage begins. The cycle then repeats. ####Reproduction Spawns: [![Malphas Protector](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Protector.png "Malphas Protector") Malphas Protector](/wiki/malphas-protector)[![Malphas Missle](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Missile.png "Malphas Missile") Malphas Missile](/wiki/malphas-missile)[![Malphas Flamer](//dl.dropbox.com/u/52918745/Enemies/Malphas%20Flamer.png "Malphas Flamer") Malphas Flamer](/wiki/malphas-flamer) [Back to top](#top) ### Drops {#drops}

Its drop rate is comparable to Limon's. [Back to top](#top) ### Tips and Strategies {#tips} It is recommended to kill all 6 [White Demons](/wiki/white-demon) before stepping over the checkered black-and-red path and damaging Malphas. This process is known as "clearing whites". Although, note that in abysses with a large amount of players, some may go in for the boss without clearing any of the white demons. The [Demon Blade](/wiki/demon-blade) is a powerful weapon that many strive to possess, and is a quite rare drop from Malphas. [Back to top](#top)
