He has three phases, transitioning to his next phase every time he loses about 1\/3 of his max HP.\n\n####Phase 1\nTaunt: **\"Stay back! You have no business here!\"**\nAvalon initially stays dormant in the middle of the room. When approached, Avalon will start traversing the room, leaving behind a trail of stationary stars that deal low damage and inflict Slow. Whenever Avalon moves to one of the 9 squares, he leaves behind a Book Bomb that explodes after a short time, doing high AoE damage and inflicting Silenced, while sending out wall-like shockwaves through the hallways that ignore armor and inflict Dazed. The shockwaves will always have one hole where the player can dodge through.\n \nAvalon will always turn 3 times before he returns to the center. His next 3 turns will always be the exact opposite of the 3 turns he took intially, and the movements repeat until enough damage is dealt.. (Eg. If Avalon's initial 3 turns takes him to the top-left corner, his next 3 turns will take him to the bottom right corner).\n\n####Phase 2\nTaunt: **\"Leave me be!\"**\nRetreating into the center of the room, Avalon begins firing shockwaves of his own (visually identical to the ones fired by the Book Bombs, but they do more damage and Stun instead of Daze) down the adjacent four lanes. Every time he does this, he will also fire a radial burst of boomerang fireballs that deals heavy damage and Stuns. While this is happening, he will be throwing more Book Bombs to the outer rooms of the arena, sending shockwaves at himself from all directions.\n\n####Phase 3\nTaunt: **\"I cast you off mongrels! Do not tamper with my collection!\"**\nAvalon begins moving between the hallways, stopping every time he reaches a room. When he stops, Avalon will fire his shockwaves along the halls adjacent to him, along with a radial burst of Stunning fireballs. While he does this, he will spawn in [Soulless Scribes](\/wiki\/soulless-scribe), [Soulless Scholars](\/wiki\/soulless-scholar), and [Soulless Students](\/wiki\/soulless-student).\n\nWhile moving, Avalon is Armor Broken, but while stationary, he'll be Armored instead.\n \n[Back to top](#top)\n\n##Drops {#drops}\n{{template-drop\n|purple=\n{{template-drop-row|first=true\n}}\n|blue=\n{{template-drop-row|first=true\n|item1={{template-item-link|page=potion-of-vitality|name=Potion of Vitality|icon=Consumable\/Stat Potions\/Potion of Vitality.png}}\n|item2={{template-item-link|page=potion-of-wisdom|name=Potion of Wisdom|icon=Consumable\/Stat Potions\/Potion of Wisdom.png}}\n}}\n|cyan=\n{{template-drop-row|first=true\n}}\n|orange=\n{{template-drop-row|first=true\n|item1={{template-item-link|page=deathless-crossbow|name=Deathless Crossbow|externalIcon=https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/urtPb0N.png}}\n|item2={{template-item-link|page=wraith-s-brigandine|name=Wraith's Brigandine|externalIcon=https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/gWlQmMS.png}}\n}}\n|white=\n{{template-drop-row|first=true\n|item1={{template-item-link|page=necronomicon|name=Necronomicon|externalIcon=https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Nq69aPi.png}}\n|item2={{template-item-link|page=scholar-s-seal|name=Scholar's Seal|externalIcon=https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Go4NNo0.png}}\n}}\n}}\n###Tips and Strategies {#tips}\n During the first phase follow the boss along the wall to avoid getting slowed or if already affected change course to meet up with the boss.

His love of literature was second only to his passion for sharing those works with others. He did not fall victim to the curse directly, but watching his life's work be overrun and ruined was enough to break his resolve. His enthusiasm for sharing intellect evolved into obsessive protection of his collection.

He will then walk towards the middle, then back to the center of the room. He will then move down and opposite the first direction, moving in a figure 8-pattern. It is advised to move along the wall to avoid getting slowed. If you're already affected, change course to meet up with the boss. \n\nDuring the 2nd phase, stand in the middle of corridors to avoid the stunning lines from the exploding books and his explosive bursts while doing as much as you can to the boss. \n\nAt the start of the 3rd phase, he will remain in the center where he will shoot one burst down the hallways, where the gap is always in the middle. Afterwards, there is no obvious pattern. If you're not in a large group, prioritize killing the Soulless Scholars first, as the slow makes it harder to avoid the shots from the book bombs. In addition, while Avalon is standing still, he is armored, but when moving, he is armor broken.\n\n###Trivia {#trivia}\nAvalon is the first boss in the game to have unique sprites depending on what direction he's facing.\n\nOn very rare occasions, Avalon will say \"Grant us eyes... grant us eyes...\" However, he will not say this after ecountering him in his room.
