About this project
What does Trial Guardians add?
Introducing: Trial Guardians - a combination trial chamber + boss mod!
This mod introduces three bosses and three procedurally generated trial chambers. The trial chambers are the Forge of the Phoenix, the Maze of the Minotaur, and the Lair of the Hydra.
The Forge of the Phoenix is filled with lava all around, and the metal grates are easy to fall through into the lava. At the end is the Guardian of the Phoenix, a boss that performs quick rushes and nova explosions in sequence, as well as combo swiping attacks.
The Maze of the Minotaur is a mineshaft-like structure that has labyrinths of mineshafts within it. At the end is a large donut shaped chamber with pylons, where you will encounter the Guardian of the Minotaur. The tight chamber makes it hard to avoid the Minotaur's attacks; some say the best way to beat him is to beat him at his own game...
The Lair of the Hydra is a flooded labyrinth that branches in different directions, surrounded by water canals. At the end is a duo, two Guardians of the Hydra. These two are each tactical archers, with advanced kiting and repositioning behaviors.
Feeling ominous? Get your bad vibes on and you might find yourself doubling up on bosses!
These mobs are powered by DECI-lib, and are registered under the deci-lib namespace, rather than the four-guardians one.




Requires deci-lib and Azurelib
