JimmyJam Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 After spending some time in the volcano i would love to see the dragon fly living there. I know a lot of players would not want a old boss in shipwrecked but it just feels so right. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldruthlace Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think that could work, and it'd be pretty easy to implement, but it's pretty boring imo. I was hoping for something more like a real dragon type boss, as the dragoons did not meet my expectations based on their name... Some kind of pterodactyl beasty would be cool too, despite dinosaurs being pretty overused nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeputyDeath Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Some sort of skeleton boss would be cool. You could use a hammer on him to decrease the amount of damage he deals by breaking off bits of his bodies. Or a dragon. Or a skeleton dragon.

DeputyDeath Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Maybe on the last day of dry season there would just be one massive volcano bomb, like 5x the size of the normal ones. From it, a massive dragon would spawn - like a dragoon from their eggs - and that would be the boss fight. They could make it similar in attacking style to the dragoon and ancient guardian; so it would charge at you and burn things when enraged and running. And then it could summon volcano bombs to fall near you like a palm treeguard and... I think I'm getting carried away here. My point is, it'd be a freakin' hard boss fight with a fairly randomised attack pattern, albeit with a warning before each attack to give the player time to react accordingly. I mean, the RoG giants are easy as hell to kill in hand to hand combat because their attack pattern is very linear and repetitive, making them seem clumsy, stupid and far too easy to kite. This fight however would require you to be skilled at dodging stuff and kiting to kill it, rather than the fearless and mindless tanking you need for the dragonfly. Not sure what it'd drop though. Maybe it could have an insane amount of health (10,000+), because there's no real equivalent in either version of the game right now, but would end dry season permanently if it is killed once.

Serph Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I don't think Dragonfly would fit, dry season focus alot in dragoons and volcano, it should be something related to it. Considering the volcano pops dragon eggs, there has a to be a dragon mom with a silly portmanteau name putting those. I imagine that, if you keep making the altar of snackrifice angry with the wrong offerings, it will get so upset it will make the big dragon boss get out of the volcano's lava and fight you, if you beat it, eruptions stop until next dry season.

AnonymousKoala Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I kind of want the Dry Season giant to be inside the volcano, in a setpiece of sorts. So like, the entire year it's a safe spot, but during dry season(maybe its end especially) it wakes up and starts...well, acting like a giant haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeklo Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Another thing to consider is how in "normal" Don't Starve we have a boss for the caves (boss-ish) & for summer. So it may be possible we will have a boss for the volcano and dry season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. What if your attacks break off bits of the bones, making them sharper and deal more damage? Or the boss would get more enraged the more damage you deal to it, or would just progressively get stronger over time to discourage people from leaving the boss mid-fight to heal.

What if it started off being bigger and easier to hit, but ass you break it down it devolves and becomes faster and more feral, dealing more damage and decreasing sanity at a faster rate as it's composition degenerates into a horrific cluster of teeth and bone? Like the Jurassic League skins, but better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Klei really wanted to mess with players, they could make it so the original boss, which would be a dragon-esque thing, would engulf itself in flames and leave a skeleton behind. After a few seconds, the skeleton would come to life and begin to attack you. It'd only have like 500 health, but it'd be very fast and damaging. Think bowser/dry bowser from the mario games I guess, only with the whole getting harder to fight as time goes on thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asparagus Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 IDK, I may be a party pooper but wouldn't something related to Pirates be more feasible? *Is hit in the head with a brick and written on it: "TigerShark and SealNado" ... So the recurring theme is still sea creatures... Hmm... so the Sealnado is a weather/season-related boss... what if the Volcano/Dry Season Boss be something that opposes the Sealnado?

A giant volcanic mole that opens magma pits every time it surfaces, causing earthquakes as well. (Cuz, tornado, earthquake) or maybe a sea serpent?

Throw coconades and shoot spearguns and throw boomerangs into rocks to distract it. Smashes anything with it's iron tails XD 3 of them too, which reach different lengths randomly in the general vicinity of the sound. Also mods since this is being verified, pretty please do this? Volcano resembles Xen already! Dragoons are aliens... kinda! Have your own mini Xen And the Lagoon HIGHLY resembles the HL1 Tentacles room. But that's none of my business. 4 hours ago, Packim said: Well you certainly have a better imagination than me that name is genius! I also love your name.

WillPwn4Food Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I posted a somewhat detailed suggestion for how the 3rd giant/volcano boss could be: Ranged Giant TL;DR Kraken spawns in the center of the volcano. Different from all other giants in that can't be reached with melee, requiring a dodge and shoot rather than dodge and hit strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
