Ripper

From Zedwiki

Ripper is one of the default bosses for Dungeon Dash and was the first made for the game. He is an angry rabbit with a flatulence problem and very high agility which makes him difficult to hit. He does however have much less health than any of the other bosses in the game.


Behavior

Ripper has two phases with different behavior in each. In phase 1 Ripper is submerged the entire time and attacks by burrowing under adventurers to thrown them in the air. Rusty Grenades thrown up by him will shock him into surfacing and 3 hits will progress the fight to phase 2. In phase 2 ripper attacks the adventurers with a variety of moves. Hitting him will make him leap around in panic for a short time.

Attack Description When Used Comments
Fast Underground Charge The burrowed Ripper will rush at adventurers, throwing them in the air. Phase 1 Ripper must be forced out of his burrowed state to attack by hitting him with the Rusty Grenades he throws up. He will continue using this attack until forced to Phase 2 using the grenades.
Melee Lunge Ripper repeatedly lunges at an adventurer to do a melee attack. Phase 2 This is Rippers main behavior in Phase 2 and is very dangerous due to his speed. Shooting him with a bow at close range is a good strategy for hitting him which will make him break off.
Jumping Fart Ripper leaps high into the air and then lands with a giant explosion. Phase 2, random timer. This attack deals huge damage and being in the centre of the blast can one hit even fairly well armored adventurers. Although it can be blocked with a shield it is recommended to run away from the impact area.
Homing Burrow Ripper burrows underground before tunneling under his target. Adventurers will be thrown into the air if they are too close to the burrowed Ripper, similar to his phase 1 attack. Phase 2, random timer. Running to perpendicular to his charge will let adventurers avoid it.


Room Description

A large cave with dirt floors and stone walls. Around the floors are large bone block structures. Around the cave are several smaller caves, containing loot chests. There is an altar in the center, with a rusty grenade on it. Foolish Fred waits on the other side, who will be killed by Ripper as soon as the grenade is taken. The Ripper fight is in two phases. In the first, more rusty grenades will spawn around the room, which the players have to throw at the Ripper, who is underground. If the player comes into contact with the mass of particles above him, Ripper will throw them into the air. Hit him with three grenades to advance the fight. After he comes out from underground, Ripper has several attacks. He can simply melee attack the player, jump up and spawn a dangerous fart explosion, or perform a charge attack. The charge attack involves Ripper going back underground, before charging at the player, which will knock them into the air if they do not get out of the way. After that, Ripper will target the player, and pop back out from underground near them. When the fight is over, the players will be brought back to the main lobby.


Strategy

Collect the loot around the cave before starting the fight. Once the first phase starts, keep in mind that Ripper cannot leave the dirt floor area. Use this to your advantage by grabbing grenades, then running to the sides. Wait for him to follow you, then throw the grenades at him while he is close and can't hurt you. Once he is out of the ground, ranged attacks are usually the way to go. However, if you can get him on fire at all, that will help immensely. Hitting him is the main issue, as he doesn't have a lot of health, and the continuous ticking damage from fire can do quite a number. Mage's fireballs, Soldier's firebombs, and any Flame enchanted bows or Fire Aspect swords are valuable for this reason. Tank's armor bursts can also do a lot of damage to Ripper.


Trivia

  • Ripper was the first working boss made for Dungeon Dash.
  • There is a loot chest in Rippers room on a ribcage in the ceiling that can only be accessed by being thrown up there by his burrowing attacks.
