"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 an unorganized 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. Entangled Knights are immobilized for a duration of 15 seconds. The Apocrean Harvester will attempt to get within range of an entangled Knight to use Apocrean Gaze, doing major damage to anyone within its beam. 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 moving to avoid the Apocrean Harvester as to collect Lost Souls.
Notes
- The Apocrean Grip inflicts an unknown status identical in function to Freeze. There is no possible way to gain immunity or resistance to this status. Any five-star Shield can endure a single hit from this attack on Elite difficulty, whereas Omega Shell can survive two.
- On Normal difficulty, a 5 star shield can take an entire barrage of the Apocrean Grip without breaking.
- The Apocrean Gaze inflicts weak, multiple strikes of non-typed damage. This damage does not trigger invincibility frames, and is not affected by armor resistances. Although the damage is not blocked by, nor does it reduce shield health, raising an unbroken shield will considerably reduce the damage dealt by the Gaze.
- 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. Haze bombs cannot inflict status on it so it is unknown if it is immune to weak status.
- Apocrean Harvester can only use Apocrean Gaze when it has a player in its grip. Beware though that the Apocrean is not restricted to using its Gaze on entangled players, and will use the attack on any players foolish enough to wander infront of it. Proceed to free your allies with caution.
- 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.
- Dashing is a near-crucial ability to use to gain an extra few tiles ahead of the Apocrean Grip.
- Bringing a gun or bomb is an effective way of relieving players from the Apocrean Grip without putting yourself at risk of Apocrean Gaze damage. Note that bringing a bomb can allow a knight to free nearby players even if both knights are immobilized and are positioned with undesirable facings.
- Apocrean Harvester has very similar characteristics to the creepypasta Slenderman. Both are tall slender monsters that stalk their targets, each use extra appendages in capturing said target, and both can kill the target by gazing upon them.
