Closed Dear Arkarium......
I genuinely hate you so much above all of the other bosses in this game. At least when the other bosses have a 1 shot kill, they don't spam it every single time I return to the damn arena in the event I lose a life. You get a sliver of a second to try to hit him before he uses that Evander Holyfield ear chomp he calls an attack. When the other bosses do have a one shot attack, at least they're nice and give me a 1% chance to avoid it; the funny thing is is that most of those one shot bosses are stronger and better than Arkarium. I still find it baffling that if you don't have a bind attack with you, you have no chance against him because there has to be a way to confiscate that stupid 1 shot coward spam or just get 1 billion range for easy Arkarium and hope for the best. Jesus christ I find it hilarious Arkarium is this infuriating, considering his primary reward the Dominator Pendant is outclassed by Gollux's crown jewels, and got its 10% HP/MP nerfed to a hysterical 10 points. Seriously, what the s*** Arkarium? Just because you got owned by a subordinate Demon Commander 400 years ago and let him wreck the Black Mage, doesn't mean you have to be a butthurt old geezer and smite every living micro-organism, that walks into the arena, into a puddle. Thank the gods Damien realized you were a total d*** and turned you into your true form: a mother-flipping sssssssnaaaake!!!
Someday, I will kick your hiney, steal your meso and crusader coins, and dance on your grave while freeing the girl in the giant crystal you worked so desperately hard to imprison....
Oh wait nvm you probably just one shot her too and she got wrecked. Seriously, it can destroy GODS, PEOPLE! Additionally, someone should take that one shot away from him or add a cooldown or something because I get he's a villain and villains have the archetype where they don't play by the rules and cheat in every way possible, but this is just ridiculous at this point.
Tl:Dr, Arkarium is a massive c***.
Sincerely,
A Mapler that just wanted to finish the Silent Crusade Questline.
Edit: I mean it is a rant/rave, and I'm blowing off steam.....

Awww what a cute love letter to your true love
but I agree, arks boss pattern and concept is terrible and outdated.
Most bosses are terribly designed especially given the state of instability, lag, frequency of crashing, delay, etc.
As soon as a boss animation starts, 30% of the time my game will freeze and I know that I'll be dead because of the 1HKO's.
There's never really been any counter play against Physical/Magic immunity, now reflection as well as ridiculously annoying traps that aren't dodge-able.
Save a life, make a BaM friend.
I considered making a Battle Mage when I was making a Reboot character for the first time; maybe I should revisit that idea. Does the 1 shot annulment work like DrK and NW, a once in a blue moon like Shade, or is it a completely different system?
Aside from that, I main a Kaiser in Reboot, and I was just lucky to get the Erda Nova skill in hopes I would get a slightly larger edge over some bosses. Unlike my Demon Slayer main in Windia, the Demon could kill Arkarium because of the 20 second bind and because I was able to output enough damage to finish him off. Contrary to THAT, my Kaiser struggles immensely against Ark because of - like I said above - his one shot attack. Even if I have Full form with Gigas Wave, Nova Guardians, Stone Dragon, etc., he just can't output enough damage to kill him before Arky uses his attack, despite Kaiser's decent DPS. Then moreover, the process is the same, and that is obliterate you when you only have a sliver to react and hopefully attack while facing towards him instead of your back toward him.
With him, I think the trauma IS the reward
He had a 20 DEATH COUNT?!? I'm done.... -.-
Alright, good to know. Since the CHT pendant and the Dominator Pendant somewhat share the same HP%/MP increase, I can still hunt for it for my DA.
i would like to give you tip, if you can knock out 70% with a burst(like i do) stay dead and he will USE THEM ALL AT THAT PERCENTAGE he does it every 20% so im able to ignore 2 to 3 of them making it way easier for classes that do high dps and fast attackers. sometimes he even uses 4!
