Thessal the Mermaid Goddess is the boss of the Ocean Trench.
The Realm Eye says: |
---|
Thessal is the ruler of the realm beneath the waves, but her kind had struggled to survive since mortals became capable of naval combat. Her contact with the surface world is limited, but when Oryx came to her with a treaty for mutual protection, she agreed out of desperation. With Thessal’s dominion over sea monsters and Oryx’s strengthening magic, the duo created the Hermit God to stop ships from ever setting sail again. |

Thessal is found in a large square room at the end of the Ocean Trench, with each side having a small alcove with an air vent for players to restore oxygen with. Upon being approached, she will immediately attack.
Thessal wanders in the middle of the room, cycling between two attacks:
During all attacks, she will also continuously throw Coral Bombs, either directly at players or in random spots in the boss room. These will explode into a ring of pink Pet Stasis shots and each split into six smaller Coral Bombs that do the same, quickly causing large storms of bullets.
In addition, she constantly keeps a Deep Sea Beast on each of the 4 air vents in the room, making it much harder to regain air. If one dies, she will respawn it after a short delay.
At 50% HP, Thessal flashes yellow, moves to the center of the room, and fires three dense rings of shockwaves that inflict Weak, also gaining Stun Immunity for this attack. After using it for the first time, she will use this attack again after every Thunder Swirl attack. Her prior attacks will also be improved:
At 20% HP, Thessal will immediately use her shockwave attack again, but will also go invulnerable for 8 seconds upon hitting the HP threshold.
Occasionally and purely randomly, when Thessal is killed, instead of dying, she will crumple over the loot bag and ask, “Is King Alexander alive?” If you respond with “He lives and reigns and conquers the world,” she will say “Thank you, kind sailor.” and spawn 3 Coral Gifts before vanishing.
If nobody says the right answer after a few seconds, she’ll shout “You speak LIES!”, suddenly rising up, going invulnerable, and launching a relentless attack consisting of all her attacks simultaneously fired at a nonstop pace. After roughly ten seconds of attacking, Thessal will self-destruct (although her original loot will still have already been dropped).
If you are standing on her when this happens (not smart), this will be instant death. Period.
Spawns:
In Release X.26, additional changes were made, which include reverting Thessal’s base HP back to 69,000 but giving her HP scaling this time, alongside the Coral Gifts which received a significant HP boost and HP scaling as well.
In Exalt 1.0.0.0, additional changes were made, which including reducing Thessal’s HP by 1/4 but giving her Adaptive HP scaling.
The Arctic Bow has previously dropped from Thessal (winter 2016-17 only).
