Mobs/Elemental Colossus
"The Fairy's not gonna like this..."
The Elemental Colossus is a powerful boss found within the Labyrinth. It primarily specializes in close-range combat, using melee attacks, a spinning attack, grappling, and a powerful leap attack.
Summary
The Elemental Colossus is a heavily armored melee boss that can both fight nearby targets and rapidly close large distances. Its attacks include melee strikes, a spinning attack, grabbing and throwing targets, and a leap that can end in a powerful slam.
It also has several damage and status-effect immunities and regenerates health over time.
Combat
The Elemental Colossus primarily fights using physical attacks.
Melee Attack
The Colossus performs repeated melee attacks against nearby targets.
Its base attack damage is 50.
Spin Attack
The Colossus can perform a spinning attack that damages nearby targets and applies knockback.
- Damage: 1.5× attack damage
- Area: 4 blocks beyond its bounding box
- Selection chance: 30%
The spin attack is performed from ticks 10 through 20 of its attack behavior when selected.
For the Colossus, this means the attack deals 75 damage before other modifiers.
attackDamage * 1.5
Here, attackDamage refers to the Colossus's base attack damage of 50.
Grab and Throw
The Colossus can grab nearby targets and force them to ride on its body before throwing them away.
- Grab range: 5 blocks
- Grab damage: 0.5× attack damage
- Throw damage: 2× attack damage
- Throw velocity: Magnitude of 5 in the direction the Colossus is facing, with an additional 1.0 vertical velocity
With 50 base attack damage, the grab deals 25 damage and the throw deals 100 damage before other modifiers.
doHurtTarget(target, 0.5f);
The multiplier causes the normal attack damage to be reduced to half for the grab.
doHurtTarget(target, 2.0f);
The same attack function is instead given a multiplier of 2 to deal double damage for the throw.
Leap
The Colossus can leap toward distant targets to close large gaps.
- Minimum range: 10 blocks
- Maximum range: 64 blocks
- Attack interval: 30 ticks
The leap activates the Colossus's slamming state.
Slam Attack
If the Colossus falls more than 3 blocks while in its slamming state, it performs a powerful slam attack.
- Area: 10 × 10 × 10 blocks
- Damage: 2× attack damage
- Knockback: Yes
- Explosion radius: 3 blocks
- Block destruction: Can destroy blocks tagged as Earth Skill Breakable when Mob Griefing is enabled
With 50 base attack damage, the slam deals 100 damage before other modifiers.
isSlammingFall() && fallDistance > 3.0f
This condition means the slam requires the Colossus to be in its slamming state and to have fallen more than 3 blocks.
The slam also creates an explosion at the point of impact. The Colossus does not take normal fall damage when performing a slam.
Defenses
The Elemental Colossus possesses several resistances and immunities.
Damage Resistances
- Heat and Cold damage, due to Thermal Fluctuation Resistance.
- Damage classified as a Natural Effect is reduced to 20% of its original amount.
The Natural Effect reduction means that only one-fifth of the original damage is applied.
if (TensuraDamageHelper.isNaturalEffects(source)) {
amount *= 0.2f;
}
Here, source is the damage source being checked, while amount is the amount of damage that would otherwise be dealt.
