The Puppet Master (Rev. 48)

The Puppet Master

The Puppet Master is the boss of the Puppet Master’s Theatre.

In a time before the adventurers arrived in Oryx’s Realm and before Oryx shut himself away in his Wine Cellar, the Mad God surrounded himself with a court of followers. Shaitan, the Mad God’s advisor was present at the right hand of his master and the Stone Guardians protected him with their life. In all aspects but one, it could be considered a thriving realm. No kingdom is complete, however, without some entertainment to while away the time. Meet The Puppet Master: once a traveling act, Oryx hired him to complete his court and entertain his guests. But beware, Oryx’s idea of a good show might just kill you… (Official Announcement)

Behavior

The Puppet Master is positioned in the upper area of the room when you enter. When you activate him he moves into the middle of the room. He then proceeds to cycle through his phases. After the decoy phase he returns to his previous position and switches into his last phase.

  • Phase 1:
    Phase one, he starts throwing large Purple Projectiles around him, that armor break and deal 70-90 damage each hit. What you want to do for this phase is kill the Priests, which heal him, and then go for the boss. Once he spawns more priests you rinse and repeat until the next phase.

  • Phase 2:
    Phase two, he sends out a bunch of clones. What you want to do for this phase is take out one clone at a time, and be careful because a clone dies it fires multiple projectiles around him/her which have a long lasting paralyze after he dies, and he/she also spawns multiple Puppet Assassins and Puppet Rogues, you want to take those out. Now once you’ve cleaned everything up from one clone, you must repeat the same step until you make it to the boss, which is phase three.

  • Phase 3:
    Phase three, you want to drag the knights he spawns to one side of the room, and then run to the other side of the room and get some damage into the boss, then back off and repeat. After you kill the boss he will throw out multiple paralyze projectiles as well so be careful!

Tips and Strategies

If alone, or with a single friend, and don’t have enough firepower to take out both the Knight and the Wizard that the Puppet Master spawns, it is advised to drag them 5-7 rooms back. Once the Puppet master has hit the max amount of spawn rates, he will only spawn in the Priests. Once you beat his first phase, the Puppet master will spawn in roughly 4 fake versions of himself. To end this phase quickly you must only kill the one that switches between being armored and invincible. He will then transfer to phase 3. In this phase, he sits at the top of the room, shooting the same purple armor piercing bullets that do about 80 damage each. He will also be spawning more Priests, Knights, and Wizards (If you drag them away in the first phase he will still spawn more, so it is good to kill them after the first phase is over.) Be sure not to stand on him during this phase, as the fixed damage can instantly kill you unless you have life maxed. Repeat the same thing in phase one if you don’t have enough firepower. Afterwards, you can slowly take him out if you either keep taking out the priests, or have enough DPS to counter them.
