The Legacy System

Updated · Version 0.1.0 · Update notes

What is The Legacy System?

The Legacy System is a final boss with a base health of 6000 and 4 phases. It appears on The Legacy System. 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.

"Nobody knows what it does."

An armoured lizard the size of the hall, asleep, with every cable in the building plugged into it. It can't be hurt until it wakes, and poking it wakes it sooner. Kill it and every pickup and skill on the floor goes dark for fifteen seconds, with the horde stopped for the first eight: fourteen downstream systems have been impacted.

What does it do in each phase?

The Legacy System 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 Legacy System 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.
