Feargus the Obsidian Dragon

Feargus the Obsidian Dragon is one of the five bosses of the Lair of Draconis. If Feargus is the fourth dragon fought, his name will change to Feargus the Demented.

The Realm Eye says:
In an effort to challenge Limon’s authority, Oryx captured a Darkness Sprite and fused it with the body of a fabled dragon. Oryx has personally bred the captive dragon to obey his commands so that he may establish control over the elements. The sprite trapped inside yearns to reunite with its original body, now an aimless soul without a host.

Behavior

Feargus is initially found dormant and armored in the center of a plain square room, accessed by attacking his statue in the central room of the Lair. After taking a bit of damage, he will awaken and provide a taunt before attacking.

• (If fought as the first dragon) “Only a fool would challenge the air itself.”
• (If fought right after Pyyr) “Pyyr is vanquished, then. This quest will only lead you to ruin.
• (If fought right after Limoz) “The earth quakes as a result of your folly!”
• (If fought right after Nikao) “Slaying Nikao will bring no peace to the waters!”

Phase 1

Feargus spawns in a number of invincible Shades. These shades orbit him, occasionally charging in a straight line at players while firing purple bullets.

Feargus himself remains mostly immobile, cycling through the following patterns of purple bullets, in order:

• a wide five-shot burst;
• an aimed three-shot;
• a double three-shot aimed to the sides of the nearest player;
• a larger radial burst;
• a ten shot burst, with five aimed at the nearest player, the others aimed in the opposite direction;
• a ten shot burst, with five aimed 90 degrees right, the others aimed 90 degrees left of the nearest player

Phase 2

At 66% HP, Feargus despawns all Shades and spawns four more. The shades start firing streams of purple bullets in one direction as they rotate around Feargus, while he fires aimed purple rays and parametric stars that inflict Pet Stasis.

Phase 3

At 33% HP, Feargus vanishes and starts quickly circling players. When he reappears, he will slowly move in the direction that the nearest player was in when he reappeared, firing oscillating streams of purple bullets in front of him. He will then disappear again and repeat the process.

Eight Obsidian Soul Shards will spawn from the eggs around his room at the start of the phase. These minions cycle through 3 phases: circling the arena, chasing players, and then circling players, all the while firing spreads of purple bolts - or the third dragon slain’s elemental shots if three dragons have been downed already. All Soul Shards must be killed to make Feargus move to his next phase.

Phase 4

Feargus generates clouds of harmful Miasma that engulf the majority of the map, leaving an ring-shaped safe zone. Pet Stasising stars will start firing from the walls. Feargus will cycle through a set of patterns:

• moving in a large circle independent of player movement, firing a rotating spiral of purple bullets;
• continue with its circle movement, firing tightly-packed purple bolts in a star shape;
• slowly chase players, firing a wide ten-shot burst of purple bullets - 5 aimed 90 degrees left from the player, 5 aimed 90 degrees right; then a similar burst except with 5 shots aimed at the nearest player and 5 aimed in the opposite direction, ending with the former ten-shot burst;
• purple rays in five directions, one aimed at the player, along with parametric stars

When Feargus reaches critical HP, he will taunt “You will regret this victory, mortals…”, despawn all Miasma, and move into the center of the room, transforming into a statue and awarding XP to his killers. Players can then use the statue to teleport back to the main room, where the purple dragon soul will self-terminate and drop Feargus’ loot.

Tips and Strategies

Feargus is not a particularly aggressive dragon; most of his fight involves his minions’ support in some way.

History

During early development of the Lair of Draconis in the beginning of 2013, Feargus was called Thanatos.

In Patch X.31.8.0 (July 2019) the Lair of Draconis and all its enemies were entirely reworked. Feargus’ information before the rework can be found here.
