Augustus

Augustus is the general of the Eldarian army and the first boss Dandara will fight. He is found in the Village of Artists, more specifically the Temple of Creation.

Phase 1:
'''This phase follows a cycle where Augustus uses his fists to smash the players, summons enemies and finally enters the foreground to battle Dandara. This then repeats.'''

Fist smash- Augustus will begin the fight by raising a fist and smashing it onto a wall. There is an arrow to indicate where the fist will go to aid the player. Upon impact, it will send out a shockwave on either side of the impact zone and these will travel until meeting with each other or Dandara, where they will be destroyed. After the first fist, Augustus uses a second and this attack will be repeated as part of the Phase 1 cycle. Damaging the fists does harm Augustus.

Summon reinforcements- Directly after fist smashing, Augustus will launch three D&D dice shaped capsules onto random walls. Upon impact with a wall, the capsules break open and summon a dog soldier or mage. The capsules will always summon two dog soldiers and one dog mage. During this attack, Augustus cannot be harmed in any way.

Shoot eye blasts- Finally Augustus will actually be vulnerable to attacks and will periodically shoot two eye blasts at Dandara. These blasts are identical to dog mage blasts, slow moving but effective.

Phase 2:
'''This is triggered upon getting Augustus down to approximately 50% HP. It requires Dandara to jump between constantly generating and crumbling platforms as he also shoots eye blasts and summons enemies to hinder her attacks.'''

Moving assault: Augustus will move away from Dandara constantly while launching one eye blast at her periodically. They follow the pattern of up, down, up, down, etc. to hinder her movement.

Summon reinforcements (again): Occasionally, Augustus will bring up dog soldiers with the platforms about 10 times in a row which forces Dandara to have to shoot or dodge them to get closer to him.

Rewards
After defeating Augustus the player is awarded with 2 chests filled with 540 and 215 pleas of salt and access to the Stone of Creation.
