Radius: 2<\/div><\/td> \n<\/tr> \n<\/table>\n####Behavior\nThe Royal Cnidarian is found in the middle of the room players spawn in, surrounded by 8 air vents which are the players' spawning points. It remains stationary for most of the fight.\n\nIt does nothing when players first spawn, then will slowly flash red. It then moves on to its first phase.\n\nPhase 1<\/b>\n\nThe Royal Cnidarian is invulnerable during this phase. It spawns many Cnidarian minions which fly out towards the edges of the room and circle the Royal Cnidarian slowly. Every single Cnidarian is invulnerable except for a single gold one, which needs to be shot down.\n\nAll of the smaller Cnidarians save the Gold one will attack, but only if the player draws too close to them.\n\nThe boss itself fires radial bursts of large white bubbles that inflict Dazed along with single Paralyzing bolts. Everything is aimed at the nearest player.\n\nWhen the Gold Cnidarian is defeated, the Royal Cnidarian moves on to its second phase.\n\nPhase 2<\/b>\n\nThe Royal Cnidarian is vulnerable during this phase and alternates between two atack patterns. Its minions will adopt new behaviors corresponding to its current attack pattern:\n\n- The boss begins firing radial bursts of highly damaging shockwaves along with rings of Pink Bombs that inflict Sick and Silence. It will also begin to target the nearest player with 3-round shotguns of armor-piercing bubble shots. Its Cnidarian minions remain on the outer ring, and begin firing their attacks towards the Royal Cnidarian regardless of player proximity. Note that the Cnidarian minions' attack ranges are **not long enough** to reach the air vents.\n\n- The Royal Cnidarian begins firing aimed spreads of Bubble Waves (in a similar fashion to a Knight's shield bash) and starts lobbing Weakening bombs at the nearest player, along with rapidly firing Paralyzing bolts. It also calls its minions inwards to form a circling wall of defense. The minions do not shoot during this phase.\n\nThe Royal Cnidarian will frequently switch between either state. Once it has lost approximately 1\/3 of its HP, it will move on to its third phase.\n\nPhase 3<\/b>\n\nThe Royal Cnidarian is invulnerable during this phase. The Royal Cnidarian resumes firing rings of Dazing bubbles and the Paralyzing bolts, except it adds in its armor-piercing shotgun, which now fires 5 shots instead of 3. It also spawns several more Cnidarian minions to circle the outer area of the room, three of which are Gold, vulnerable and need to be shot down again.\n\nOnce the Gold Cnidarians are shot down, the boss moves on to its fourth phase.\n\nPhase 4<\/b>\n\nThe Royal Cnidarian is vulnerable during this phase. It proceeds to fire 5-way \"lasers\" of highly-damaging oval shots that slowly rotate clockwise, alongside rings of bubble shots that inflict Dazed (note that these shots are always aimed directly at the air vents). It also lobs rings of Pink grenades towards the outer edges of the room that Sicken and Silence. The outer minions get a little closer to the Royal Cnidarian and resume firing their own shots regardless of proximity. The shots, while closer to the Royal Cnidarian, are still unable to reach the air vents.\n\nOnce the Royal Cnidarian has been reduced to approximately 1\/6 of it's HP, it will move on to its fifth phase.\n\nPhase 5<\/b>\n\nThe Royal Cnidarian is invulnerable during this phase. It keeps up its shooting pattern from phase 4 (save the Pink Bombs) and spawns several more minions that circle the outer edge of the room. 5 Gold Cnidarians need to be shot down this time, and when approached, they now fire radial bursts of ink blobs that inflict Blind.\n\nOnce the Gold Cnidarians are shot down, the boss moves on to its sixth and final phase.\n\nPhase 6<\/b>\n\nThe Royal Cnidarian is vulnerable during this phase. It starts erratically following the nearest player while firing highly damaging directed shockwaves and paralyzing bolts at the nearest player. It will also be lobbing dangerous Weakening bombs with a larger radius than the last time. Its minions will adopt either of the behaviors previously mentioned in phase 2.\n\nDuring this phase, every minion loses its invulnerability and is able to be shot down<\/b>, but the Royal Cnidarian will also spawn in new ones at a moderate rate. When the Royal Cnidarian reaches critical HP, it freezes in place, despawns the surviving Cnidarian minions and then dies, dropping the loot in tow.\n\n####Reproduction\n\nSpawns:\n \nGold Cnidarian<\/a> \nBlue Cnidarian<\/a> \nGreen Cnidarian<\/a> \nPink Cnidarian<\/a>\n \n[Back to top](#top)\n\n\n\n###Drops {#drops}\n\n
