Calibration

Updated · Version 0.1.0 · Update notes

What is Calibration?

Calibration is a calendar boss with a base health of 1000 and 3 phases. It appears on Onboarding, The Cubicle Farm, Mandatory Fun, The Legacy System, The Ivory Tower. If it is still standing at the next booking, it leaves without paying out. Its health grows with the clock, the floor and your difficulty.

"The bottom 10% have been identified."

A bus that keeps sending pink-purple lanes across the floor, through you. Step out of the lane and it misses. It stops for passengers, briefly, and nothing else.

What does it do in each phase?

Calibration changes phase as its health falls, using each phase's moves in turn. The telegraphed attacks mark the ground first, so watch the markings and step out rather than trying to outrun everything. Moves come faster in later phases. It also books itself nearer if you run too far away.

Where and when does it appear?

Calibration is booked 5 times across the building. The table gives each floor and the time on the clock. Floors open one at a time, for one department, by winning the one before. Boss health is multiplied by the time it arrives, so a late booking is a tougher fight than the same boss early on.
