How to beat Shadow Dragon
The Shadow Dragon is the final boss of Cursed Forest at 20:00, and defeating it wins the map. It flies, and most of its attacks are lanes and arcs.
In Shadow over the Forest, Flyby paints lanes on the ground at uneven spacing; stand between them. Abyss Orbs fly out and split into bursts when the growing circle ends, so back away before they burst. Shadow Spawn summons bats and throws clusters of shadow flame, so weave.
At 66% (Burning Shadow) its sky fire drops two arcs of falling fire, the second in the other direction, so leave both arcs and avoid the burning ground. Wing Strike pushes you away and scatters flames, so watch where you land. Dive lands with a ring of flames that has a gap, plus cracks: leave the circle, use the gap, then stand between the cracks.
At 33% (Eclipse) the arena darkens under a black sun. Crown of Eclipse blooms in waves with trails of fire: stand in the valley and keep moving. Dragon Shadows makes two shadow copies that shoot fans and a ring of skulls with a gap; destroy the copies and stand in the gap. Final Flyby and one more flyby mix lanes with flames.
Keep moving, read each telegraph and always head for the gap.
Reading the telegraphs
- Every attack is telegraphed on the ground before it lands. The color tells you what it does: orange burns, red is a heavy blow, gray slows, dark blue freezes, green poisons, purple is shadow magic.
- Shapes tell you where to stand: a circle is an area, a row of dots or a lane is a line attack, a fan of lanes is a cone, and a ring with a gap means escape through the gap. The fill shows the time left before it hits.
- Plan for the phase change at 66% and 33% health: the boss roars, grows and starts its new attacks.
