Behavior

The Crystal Entity is found in a massive circular room that is initially blocked off by unbreakable blocks. In order to access the boss, players must find and break 25 of the Cavern Crystals scattered throughout the Crystal Cavern in order to power up the drill present outside of the boss room. Once the drill is fully powered up, it will drill through the wall and open the way to the boss.

The Entity itself is situated in the center of a large pentagonal platform surrounded by water. When approach, it will activate, broadcasting taunts to signify its awakening.
“You have nothing to do here, leave us now!”
“We have lived thousands of year^[sic] peacefully. But we will defend ourselves!”

Afterwards, the Entity teleports all players in the dungeon to its platform as deep water surrounds the platform, beginning the fight.

Phase 1

The Crystal Entity spawns one crystal guardian out of five. This guardian will follow its own behavior and attack players while the Entity itself alternates randomly between the following attacks:

Rapid 3-way shotguns of purple shards, one of which is aimed at the nearest player
Rings of blue lightning bolts that fly in a wavy pattern
An omnidirectional barrage of blue prisms
A powerful “fractal” attack, telegraphed by a green arrow rotating around the Entity. After a random amount of time, the arrow will stop on one of the cardinal directions, before growing larger as a final warning. The Entity will then fire a large white bullet in the direction of the arrow that explodes into a ring of blue bullets, which each explode into rings of red bullets, some of which also exploding into rings of purple bullets.

The Crystal Entity is invulnerable for the entirety of the phase - players must target the crystal guardian that the Entity spawns. Once a guardian is slain, the Entity will taunt “Prepare another guardian…” and spawn another one. In total, three random guardians out of the five possible ones will be spawned during the battle - the battle will progress once all three have been defeated.

Phase 2

“You leave us no choice…”
“We have ascended.”
“You have breached the Seal.

The Entity grows in size and becomes vulnerable to damage. A large amount of Pulse Locks, which resemble red crystals, spawn around the arena, occasionally forming into red crystal shards and launching themselves at players. In addition, Crystal Flowers will periodically start spawning around the arena - they start off as Crystal Buds, slowly chasing players while leaving a trail of slowing bullets behind, before eventually “flowering” and exploding into rings of crystal shards.

The Crystal Entity itself will continue using the attack patterns from before, but with greatly increased attack frequency - sometimes even using two attacks simultaneously. In addition, it gains two new patterns:

Firing rings of green prisms
Firing rapid 2-way shotguns of armor piercing crystal bolts

Every time it loses 33% of its HP, the Crystal Entity will briefly go invulnerable and the bullets from the Pulse Locks will increase in speed and range.

This phase lasts until the Crystal Entity is killed. Upon its death, all Crystal Flowers and Pulse Locks vanish.
