The Interview Loop

What is The Interview Loop?

The Interview Loop is a calendar boss with a base health of 1000 and 3 phases. It appears on The Rat Race. 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.

"Six interviewers. One question."

Six interviewers and they all ask the same question, which is a key sequence. Then it is in touch, which makes it untouchable and heals it.

What does it do in each phase?

The Interview Loop 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 Interview Loop 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.
