Changes: Genie King

Revision as of 20:25, 12 March 2020

The Genie King is the boss for the second part of Quest for the Lost Eternia Shards DLC featured in Moraggo Desert Town.

"He rules the arid land alongside his faithful djinns, using any one of his powerful attacks to keep strangers out. He reigns with an iron fist...err... beard? Beware of his minions and keep a sharp eye out for his lamps. plus he has no love for women."

-- DD Digest (3/14/12)

Combat

During the final wave, the boss wave of Moraggo Desert Town, the Genie King will spawn and immediately go into the first lamp. When players rub the lamp, the Genie King reappears. He will re-eneter a random lamp upon losing a certain percentage of his health; a player has to rub the lamp once again to release the king.

A distinct ping sound can be heard from which lamp the Genie King is hiding in. Purple smoke also emanates from the lamp.

NOTE: The Genie King will automatically leave his lamp after a few minutes... handy if you die in hardcore mode. (Confirmed to not work on Steam, July 2015)

Attacks

Melee: The Genie King sticks out his long tongue and spins around, knocking back those hit by the tongue.

Ranged: The Genie King shoots lasers from both of his eyes. These lasers have limited range and will not aim at players if he or she is at a lower height than the Genie King.

Summon: Genie King summons three "baby" djinns from his mouth. These, while weak, are immune to damage from towers, so only players can kill them.

Tips

Hero abilities that deal massive damage at once, such as Mana Bomb or Hawk Stance, can damage the Genie King passed the breaking point he hides again. This may reduce the number of times players have to release the king from lamps.

+==Lamp Locations==
-As there are several lamp locations throughout the map, players should take note of certain visual clues the Genie King makes.

-When randomly entering a lamp, the Genie King leaves a purple dust trail pointing towards the next lamp. This will soon disappear, but the lamp itself will also emit a purple smoke when containing the Genie King. You can further limit the search by using the tune played to home in on his lamp (will get louder; the closer you are to him).
-Once the king has been summoned (he will summon himself if you don't find him quick enough) you should either:
-*With ranged heroes, run away and shoot him from outside his laser vision range.
-*With melee heroes, approach him and continually run around him in circles whilst attacking (to evade his laser vision) and jumping backwards when he tongue spins.
-*Summon a tower(/s), preferably out of range of his lasers/tongue, though this requires the build to have leftover DU, which is not always the case. (Note that towers cannot damage his mini-[[Djinn]] meaning that the player, their pet or team members will have to dispatch them.)
-*For a [[Squire]]/[[Countess]], perhaps the safest way of taking down the boss involves using the block ability and a DPS pet. Simply spawn the boss, put your back to a wall nearby, and block. As long as your pet can reach and damage the boss, you run no risk of death. Once the bos goes back into his lamp, repeat.
-*For the [[Summoner]], activate Phase Shift Overlord whilst standing next to him, then summon a couple or [[Archer Minion|archers]]/[[Mage Minion|mages]], his laser visions should target you (doing no damage due to phase shift) whilst your minions whittle away his health. Note: minions are unsummonable in certain locations, in which case you can wait for him to hide again or (if you have sufficient minion range(/an active EV with you)) summon a minion further away (and TBB it)
