BlomBosses

# BLOM BOSSES

**A single, massive, three-phase boss fight built from the ground up — no reused vanilla AI, no reused vanilla model.**

Blom is a colossal obsidian-and-magma golem that towers over the player (~7 blocks tall in-game), fully custom-modeled and animated in GeckoLib, with a fight built around telegraphed attacks, escalating phases, and a real risk/reward arena.

## Meet the Tyrant

**Blom, the Cataclysm** doesn’t have a health bar that just ticks down — it has three distinct forms:

– **Phase 1 — Blom, the Cataclysm** (100%–66% HP): testing your positioning with slams, barrages, and ambushes.
– **Phase 2 — Wrath Awakened** (66%–33% HP): the ground itself turns hostile — fissures, flame chains, and a crushing double-fist clap join the fight.
– **Phase 3 — Final Ruin** (below 33% HP): meteors fall from the sky, a homing beam sweeps the arena, and the ground periodically erupts beneath your feet even between attacks.

Every phase transition is its own event — screen flash, distortion pulse, roar animation, and a new boss bar name and color.

## Ten Ways to Die

Every attack is fully telegraphed (rune circles, ground decals, wind-up animations) so a good player can read and punish it — but ignore the warning and it hits *hard*:

– **Melee Smash** — a leaping AOE slam with a real windup you can dodge
– **Projectile Barrage** — a spread of homing fire orbs
– **Teleport Strike** — vanishes and reappears behind you with a guaranteed hit if you don’t move
– **Fissure Wave** *(Phase 2+)* — a cracking line of eruptions racing toward you
– **Flame Pillar Chain** *(Phase 2+)* — eight sequential fire pillars around the target
– **Fist Clap** *(Phase 2+)* — a cone-shaped shockwave that punishes standing directly in front of the boss
– **Boulder Throw** — a real gravity-arced boulder torn from its own shoulder
– **Meteor Storm** *(Phase 3)* — a barrage of sky-falling impacts across the arena
– **Beam Sweep** *(Phase 3)* — a dual-layer void beam that actively tracks and homes in on you
– **The Ultimate** *(Phase 3)* — an expanding rune shockwave that fills the arena

Land enough hits and you’ll **stagger** the boss (poise-break), opening a punish window — but its armor and knockback resistance mean this isn’t a mob you out-DPS by accident.

## Built for the Screen, Not Just the Combat Log

– Full GeckoLib skeletal animation — asymmetric, weighted, physically-eased movement (no robotic linear tweening)
– A real GLSL post-processing shader for heat-haze / chromatic-aberration distortion during its biggest moments
– Screen shake and color-flash feedback tuned per attack
– Additive-blended custom particles (embers, void wisps, sparks, magma) — zero vanilla particle spam
– Ground rune decals and glowing telegraphs for every attack
– Custom-synthesized roar, impact, and looping boss music

## Legendary Drops

Defeat it and take a piece of the tyrant home:

– **Ruinblade of Blom** — a greatsword forged from its horn; right-click to unleash a wave of fire
– **Hornpiercer Halberd** — carved from its shoulder spike; right-click to dash forward, piercing everything in your path
– **Scepter of Ruin** — its molten core caged in obsidian; right-click to erupt a flame pillar wherever you aim

## Two Ways to Fight It

– **Summon it yourself** with a **Cataclysm Charge** — use it on the ground and the earth answers, instantly raising a full obsidian arena around it.
– **Or find it in the wild** — Blom now spawns naturally on the overworld surface at night, at a deliberately low rate. It’s a rare, dangerous encounter, not a guaranteed one — you’re meant to stumble into it, not farm it.
