9 TO DIEThe Sinking Ship
What is The Sinking Ship?
The Sinking Ship is floor 11 of 12, and its phrase is "Rats leaving a sinking ship." It opens when you win The Ivory Tower with that department. Its enemies are 100 percent stronger than the first floor's. Its final boss is The Golden Parachute, at 16:00.
Good morning, team!! Exciting news!! We're thrilled to be joining the Company family!!
Which bosses are on the calendar?
Four calendar bosses book this floor: All Hands on Deck, The Shark, The Deckchairs, The Reorg. They arrive at 3:45, 7:30, 11:15, 15:00 in that order. The Golden Parachute closes the quarter at 16:00, and beating it wins the floor. A calendar boss still standing at the next booking leaves without paying out.
| Clock | Boss | Slot | Base health | Phases |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:45 | All Hands on Deck | Calendar | 950 | 3 |
| 7:30 | The Shark | Calendar | 1000 | 3 |
| 11:15 | The Deckchairs | Calendar | 850 | 3 |
| 15:00 | The Reorg | Calendar | 1100 | 3 |
| 16:00 | The Golden Parachute | Final | 2800 | 4 |
What is the hazard, and is there a secret?
The hazard: The water rises about a tile a minute and slows you down in it; the deck tilts, so you keep sliding sideways. It runs for the whole quarter, so plan your route around it. This floor also hides one secret, which appears on the floor during Monday Morning.
Hint: There is one way off, tucked somewhere nobody looks. It only matters if you plan on working late.
Tips from the floor
- The deck tilts and you slide. The water slows you. Stay out of it.
- You don't kill the Golden Parachute. You outlast it.
- The Shark can't be hurt mid-breach. Wait for it to land.
