- Wait for the Hollow Moon phase to begin — the boss spawns automatically.
Battle Phases:

Basic melee and ranged attacks. Can be blocked easily. - Phase 2 (Flying Phase):
Collect pumpkin heads around the arena to damage him.
While airborne, he becomes immune until pumpkins are destroyed. - Ultimate Attack:
Large AOE explosion that can deal 50% HP or guard-break players.
Has a wipe mechanic, but the boss usually dies before triggering it.
Rewards:
- New 2025 drops (Hollow Soul Set, Runes, etc.)
- Chance to drop 2023 cosmetics, including:
- Messiah Halo
- Headless Rune
Cooldown:
- No cooldown after death. You can respawn him after the next Hollow Moon.
12. Balancing Changes
Nerfs:
- ESR Rune Builds:
Significantly reduced damage output across all builds using ESR. - Whispering Head Rune:
Slight nerf to cooldown efficiency and damage boost.
Buffs:
- Monk Gloves:
All Monk gloves received a heavy damage buff, making Monk a top-tier class again.
Current Monk builds can reach 7,000–8,000 DPS consistently after buffs.
Notes:
- Bomber Gloves were not nerfed and remain strong.
- Triple Enchant builds continue to perform well post-balance.
