(Phase 1 post: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/251976029/0/0) *The cathedral explodes into a million pieces of debris from a giant wave of lightning released like a maelstrom from the central hall! Lightning bursts forth from the cathedral, dealing extremely critical damage to everything nearby, friends and foes alike! The armies of the Risen are able to join in the boss fight, but so is every fighter on the field, even those who haven’t made it to the cathedral yet!* Ronin the Risen: *Grows to an enormous size, and his lightning aura grows with him!* [quote]GRAAAAAAAH!!![/quote] *Sweeps his katana across the battlefield, electrifying the air and blasting lightning across the sky! The charged air makes all electronics malfunction!* Templar Traybuk: *Challenges Ronin the Risen.* Ronin the Risen: *Vaporizes Traybuk’s entire army.* Bopsheezi: *Conjures a spike bomb in Ronin the Risen’s face.* Ronin the Risen: *Roars from pain, and his lightning aura explodes out, dealing heavy damage to Bopsheezi, Templar Traybuk, Robo Owl, RingLeader, and Zbruh.* *A massive cloud of putrid air rolls over the field, corrupting all dead bodies and living ones, including Risen.* Bopsheezi: *Creates a tear in reality, conjuring a giant bubble shield safe from the miasma cloud.* [quote]All fighters, rally to me! My shield is safe![/quote] Rex: *Conjures a pillar of fire as a beacon to all fighters!* Bopsheezi: *Conjures a spike bomb in Ronin the Risen’s opened palm, damaging it but not canceling his attack!* Ronin the Risen: *Closes his palm, discharging his aura and dealing extreme critical damage to anyone nearby, being Bopsheezi, Rex, and Eskavon! He loses his lightning aura upon use of this ability!* Eskavon: *Unleashes the full power of the void, severely weakening Ronin the Risen and forcing him back down to a human size!* *Ronin the Risen is weakened! Hit him with everything you’ve got!* Ronin the Risen: *Performs a cross slash all around himself, creating a shield of lightning!* Mikhael2005: *Throws a splinter mine at Ronin the Risen’s lightning shield, successfully attracting the lightning away!* Bopsheezi: *Throws a dark spike bomb, dealing critical damage and, with Mikhael throwing an ion bomb, blasting Ronin the Risen away and destroying his shield!* Pure Vessel: *Shadow cloaks next to Ronin the Risen and performs a sneak attack, critically injuring him!* ImaDrizzit and Rex: *Take their opportunity and dash in, slicing and dicing, ImaDrizzit with his sword and Rex with his greatsword! They each deal major damage to Ronin the Risen!* *As the heroes back up and ready a defensive stance, they are surprised to see Ronin the Risen’s body fade away into dust, and where his body was, lies the artifacts... As Ronin the Risen falls, the storm abates and the Risen flee the battlefield!* [b]Ronin has fallen! He is defeated by the combined efforts of Notorious Zbruh, RingLeader77, Bopsheezi, Rex, Eskavon, Mikhael2005, Pure Vessel, and ImaDrizzit![/b] [spoiler]If you want to catch up on the boss fight, go to Notorius Zbruh’s reply thread in the original Phase 1 post.
