The Great Draught, boss of The Yoke Fields in Hellruler

Where The Great Draught waits

The Great Draught holds the gates at depths 4,700, 4,900 in The Yoke Fields, sharing the zone's 100-depth gate rhythm with The Yokemaster.

What The Great Draught is

The Great Draught is a Wight: it swings an axe, and the body asks for burst damage — it heals as it fights. As a boss it wears the type's defences at 35%, carries no status of its own, and enrages below half health: it hits harder and moves faster.

The Great Draught by the numbers

The card at each gate — health, damage per swing, armour and the modifiers it rolls — straight from the game's spawn table. On the floor the boss leads with 60% of the card's health and 60% of its damage, before the road's own pressure.

Modifiers are rolled per depth and are the same for every player. Bosses always carry at least 3 and never a pace modifier (SWIFT, BRUTE), so a boss's swing rhythm is its own; of the seals only the walls — BLOODLESS, INERT, ASHEN, ETHEREAL, DENSE — ride a boss. The full list is in Enemy modifiers.

At its first gate The Great Draught leads with 245,815,294 health, against 170,356,290 for the leader one floor above, and swings every 1.25s.

What a gate floor is

A gate is a floor like any other, with the boss leading its last pack. Nothing below it opens until the floor is cleared. A lost floor costs nothing; you can fight it again. How a floor is fought is under Combat.
