Boss Protocol

From Project Alfheim Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A Boss Protocol monster has a special flag set. Some monsters and all MVPs have this flag set. They have the following attributes:

  • Various skills fail them;
  • The knockback aspect of skills does not affect them.
  • They detect the Hiding status and any other skill statuses that is similar to it.
  • The time Ankle Snare holds them is reduced.
  • Unaffected by status effects;
    • They cannot be silenced, stunned, poisoned, etc.
    • Exception: Slash can inflict a coma on all undead monsters, including bosses. Otherwise, even coma from Tarot Card will not work on monsters with the boss protocol.
  • Affected by all items geared towards "bosses," i.e.;
    • Abysmal Knight Cards increase damage to them by 25%
    • Alice Cards reduce damage dealt by them by 40%

Example for common monsters with Boss protocol:

  • Monsters of Thanatos Tower Lv.7 and above
  • Owl Duke
  • Owl Baron
  • Kasa and Guardians in Thor's Volcano
  • The level 99 Biolab monsters

Mini-Boss

Mini-Bosses do not actually exist: this is a player-coined term to describe a rare monster, considered as such because they have set spawn intervals ranging from as quick as 10 minutes to as long as 2 hours, unlike normal monsters that spawn instantaneously. Similar to an MVP but not quite exactly like, Mini Bosses are usually programmed under a Boss protocol, with some even being able to summon mobs. Just like MVPs, these monsters are no longer FFA.

Monsters that people tend to classify as Mini-Bosses are:

  • Angeling
  • Any * of Thanatos monsters besides Memory of Thanatos
  • Arc Angeling
  • Cat O' Nine Tails
  • Chimera
  • Dark Illusion
  • Deviling
  • Dragon Fly
  • Eclipse
  • Executioner
  • Gemini-S58
  • Ghostring
  • Gryphon
  • Hellion Revenant
  • Hydrolancer
  • Mastering
  • Maya Purple
  • Mutant Dragonoid
  • Mysteltainn
  • Ogretooth (Also known as Tirfing)
  • Toad
  • Ungoliant
  • Vagabond Wolf
  • Vocal
  • Zealotus
