Boss Fight
This boss fight contains both Shaper and Elder. If the player has made it this far in the game, it is safe to assume that they have faced The Shaper and The Elder tDuring the fight you will be able to damage one of the bosses while the other will be immune to all damage. The immune boss will have a spherical shield around them. Once one has taken enough damage the immunity shield will switch and the other boss will be vulnerable. After a certain amount of damage has been done to both bosses, both will become immune and a minion phase will start. After a certain amount of time the minion phase will end and the process repeats. There are 3 minion phases and after the 3rd minion phase both Shaper and Elder will be vulnerable and can be killed. Elder can only be killed last as he will remain at 0 hp unless the Shaper is dead.
