¶ The Demon Lord
The Demon Lord - The Conjured Calamity is the first boss that is encountered in Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. He is fought after beating wave 5 of Campaign or Survival wave 25 in the Alchemical Laboratory.
¶ Combat
Alternating between strong melee and lingering fire trails on the ground, fireballs while airborne, the Demon Lord is particularly dangerous to hero defenses. He (and other boss monsters) target(s) heroes before defenses, though the latter can be damaged indirectly.
The four pylons surrounding the Eternia Crystal can be 'destroyed' to paralyze the Demon Lord for a time, giving players a chance to freely attack him. The pylons must recharge afterwards before they can be reactivated.
¶ Rewards
When the Demon Lord is defeated on any difficulty, all players will receive a Sapphire Brooch and a hero specific weapon. At lower difficulties its just a better version of a common weapon. In Massacre, a special weapon from the boss is rewarded instead.
¶ Notes
- The pylons can be damaged anywhere, not just at their conductive top.
If the pylons are left partially damaged, they will regenerate health overtime.
Strategies - If all players stand on top of the furnace, the Demon Lord will only shoot fireballs at them.
- The downsides to this are that Dark Elf Warriors will frequently attack defenses instead of players and they become exposed targets for enemy projectiles (unless shielded by Reflect Fields). In Rift Mode, a Rifted Kobold's explosion can sometimes launch players off the platform.
- Deadly Striker Towers placed up against the west wall can safely deal high consistent damage to the Demon Lord. However, they will ignore other enemies most of the time.
- For multiplayer, a Squire can hold the boss's attention and that of Dark Elf Warriors while a Huntress and Monk can stay away from the Eternia Crystal to deal massive DPS to the Demon Lord and quickly activate the pylons whenever possible.
