What is The Learning Portal?

The Learning Portal is a final boss with a base health of 2200 and 4 phases. It appears on Onboarding. It arrives at 16:00, and beating it wins the floor. Its health grows with the clock, the floor and your difficulty. Beating it pays three boxes and 25 PTO, and it counts for gear when the run ends.

"Congratulations! 99%."

A vending machine with fourteen modules in it. Each phase has a quiz, longer as it goes. In the last, the certificate jams in the slot: it can't be hurt until you've stood at the machine long enough to shake it loose, while the horde closes. Everyone has lost a coin to this machine.

What does it do in each phase?

The Learning Portal 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?

The Learning Portal is booked 1 time 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.
