|---|
In an effort to challenge Limon’s authority, Oryx captured an Ice 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. |

Nikao 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.
Upon initiating the fight, Nikao floods the center and edges of the arena with water.
A number of Azure Soul Shards spawn from the eggs lying around the room, firing single blue bullets. Nikao is stationary, rapidly firing aimed shotguns of blue blasts alongside rings of slowing blue fireballs. He will occasionally fire a burst of blue spirals that converge on the nearest player, alongside an identical burst fired in the opposite direction.
If all of Nikao’s minions are slain during this phase, he will stop firing his slowing rings.
Nikao chases players, firing rapid rings of slowing bullets along with spreads of blue blasts.
Nikao moves into the center of the arena, shrinks the water pool into a square, and spawns numerous other water pools around the arena. He will then start warping between the pools, briefly resurfacing at random pools before ducking underwater again. Every time he surfaces, Nikao will fire a spiral of slowing bullets along with aimed spreads of blue arrowheads.
Nikao reforms his arena, getting rid of all the water pools and transforming the solid ground into a configuration resembling a ring with strips of walkable tiles connecting it to the corners. As a single slowing shot fires down each of the strips, Blue Eggs with 12,000 (+20% [2,400 HP] per player in dungeon) health will spawn in the corners of the room, each one spawning an Azure Soul Shard to attack. If the Soul Shard is slain, the egg that spawned it will make another one - the eggs will also each spawn an additional one when destroyed.
In the meantime, Nikao will be invulnerable in the center of the room, firing a rotating barrage of blue blasts along the intermediate directions along with rings of slowing bullets. All Azure Soul Shards must be killed to make him vulnerable.
Nikao regenerates to approximately double his previous remaining HP and chases players, firing rings of slowing bullets and radial bursts of blue blasts. He will occasionally stop chasing and rapidly circle the central pool of water while only shooting his slowing ring alongside converging bursts of arrowheads, before giving chase again shortly after.
Upon reaching critical HP, he will taunt “You know not what you are doing…”, despawn all existing water, 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 blue dragon soul will self-terminate and drop Nikao’s loot.

Nikao has the highest defense of all of the dragons, so Weapons like the Crystal Wand, Tezcacoatl’s Tail, and the Ancient Stone Sword are more effective than their counterparts.
