''"The Apocrea are stuff of nightmares: a terrible legion of otherworldly phantoms whose only ambition seems to be trapping and devouring the souls of all life.''"

The '''Apocrean Harvester''' is a mysterious creature who traps the souls of the living for some unimaginable purpose.

==Strategy== 
The Apocrean Harvester is very large and slender. It may be killed but it's highly suggest to just avoid it at all costs due to its very high Health, durability, and is very dangerous up close. Killing it causes the Apocrean Harvester to dismiss and respawn within a matter of seconds.

It will constantly chase after Knights within its domain without hesitation. It will primarily focus on one Knight at a time, but can also be deadly within a group. If a Knight is within its vicinity, it will launch multiple hands after a long projection that will grip any Knight close to its hands, causing them to be entangled. Any Knights entangled within its grasp will be frozen and cannot move for a duration of 15 seconds, the Apocrean Harvester will primarily focus his attention to said Knight and use its Apocrean Gaze, doing major damage to anyone within its beam. However, much like [[Freeze]], Knights can be freed from his grip if another Knight attacks the entangled Knight.

It is suggested that Knights stay within a group to ensure that no one is ensnared within its grip and constantly move to avoid the Apocrean Harvester as to collect [[Lost Soul#Freed Soul|Lost Souls]].

== Notes ==
*The Apocrean Grip inflicts an unknown status similar to [[Freeze]]. There is no possible way to gain immunity or resistance to this status, however, any five-star Shield can endure a single hit from this attack, whereas [[Omega Shell]] can survive two.
*The Apocrean Gaze inflicts weak-multiple strikes of Normal Damage. Although the Shield cannot protect you from it entirely, it does decrease the damage done overall. 
* Apocrean Harvester will flash an image to the targeted player, if this happens to you, RUN!
* Apocrean Harvester is susceptible to all statuses except for [[Curse]].
* Apocrean Harvester can still use Apocrean Gaze on someone even if another is currently within their grip. Proceed to free your allies with caution.
* When a Knight is gripped by the Apocrean Harvester's Hands, the Knight will be under a status similar to the [[Freeze]] Status. Knights cannot gain immunity or resistance to the Grip and it will last approximately 15 Seconds. Much like the Freeze Status, Knights can free other Knights under this status condition by attacking the hands currently gripped upon a Knight. 
*The Music changes based on proximity to the Apocrean Harvester.
*The Apocrean Harvester emits gurgling and low noises. Use this to determine its proximity and position.
*When the Apocrean Harvester sends hands through the ground, a group will always appear in a circle around the Harvester.
*Running away, then perpendicular, then towards the Apocrean Harvester is an effective way to dodge the hands when in close proximity to the Harvester.
