Illfang the Kobold King

Illfang the Kobold King is the Floor Boss of Floor 1. It is currently the highest levelled mob in the game, having 5 levels over the maximum for a player. Undoubtedly, it is the strongest mob in all of Floor 1.

Appearance
Illfang the Kobold King is a red, lizard-like beast. He has a purple cloth on his waist, covering a bit of his tail. His shins have a piece of armor, almost covering his knees. On his stomach, he has a blue, square-like pattern having another square inside of it. Not only does he have shin pads, but he has a helmet and gauntlets. Illfang has a Nodachi on his waist, until he takes it out at half HP to use against the player.

Stage 1 (Axe)
During his first stage, Illfang will use a large axe. Though it isn't as strong as his Nodachi, it can still do a lot of damage, especially if you're not prepared. It is recommended you try to dodge all of the attacks, as it can easily kill you.

Skills (Stage 1)
Illfang has quite a few skills in his first stage. Firstly, there's a dash. There's a big chance he will use this move right at the beginning. If there are three black lines on him and he turns transparent, he will teleport behind a player, jump up, and crush whatever is below him. Secondly, he has a simple downward attack. Illfang will swing at the floor, doing damage to anybody nearby. Now, for one of his strongest attacks, he can pick up the player, eat them and throw the player away. This move does a lot of damage and can 1-shot many players. For his last attack in stage 1, he has a skill move. His axe will turn red and he will do a big leap into the air. When he comes back down, he will strike and do a lot of damage to anybody nearby.

Stage 2 (Nodachi)
After getting Illfang the Kobold King to half of his HP, he will switch to a Nodachi. This allows him to move at a faster speed, rivalling a player using both the Midnight Cloak and Anneal Blade. This stage has similar moves, yet does a lot more damage.

Skills (Stage 2)
During stage 2, Illfang has almost the same skills. He can still dash and bite the player (doing even more damage now), but he also has some new moves. Firstly, his sword will turn blue, indicating that he is about to swing at anybody around him. (Currently, there's a glitch where his sword will be blue for the rest of the boss fight, only turning red for a different skill). Similar to Illfang's first stage, if it's sword turns red, it will do a leap and come back down dealing a lot of damage. (It's hitbox grows too). Secondly, it can do a downward smash (similar to first stage, but a bigger hitbox). During this stage, it can also jump up and do another smash, without using an actual skill.

Strategy
If you're doing the boss fight with a party, it is recommended that you use a strong straightsword, such as the Kobold Straightsword (Anneal Blade works too if you have it), and a shield such as the Rose Mary. A good armor such as the Kobold Plate or Silver Plate (if you have it, Midnight Cloak would be ideal) would help massively. By doing this, you will get a lot more health and defense. Using switching (alt) can help a lot too, since you can only take so many hits from the boss.. If you want to solo it, a greatsword would be much better. For example, you could use the Spine Ripper, Kobold Greatsword or, if you have it, the Heathen Slayer. Once again, a good armor will be much more useful for this fight. Lots of healing items like the Fruit Basket and Health Potion will be incredibly helpful. This will make sure you can heal up fast, and deal a lot of damage while not taking too much damage. Dodging attacks is equally important for both strategies, as getting hit will take off a lot of HP.

Known Bugs

 * When killed, Illfang the Kobold King has a chance to leave his corpse. Sometimes, this will prevent people from getting loot, exp and Col.
 * Since the boss is situated in the dungeon (which doesn't have all the new updates), equipping and unequipping an item can heal you to max health.
 * Sometimes, once you kill Illfang the Kobold King, there is a chance that the loot, exp and Col is doubled.
 * Illfang4.png using the Nodachi blue skill, there's a chance the Nodachi will be blue for the rest of the fight.
 * If the boss goes through the walls on the side, or through the door, it will appear in the room outside of the boss room, making players have to make it use a skill in order to get it out. Alternatively if this method is not working, you can go to the top of the throne in the back of the boss room to make Illfang jump down to the center of the boss room.
 * When a player switches, there's a chance their character can keep going backwards into the wall, sending the player into the spawn room. This can be especially annoying if you try to solo the boss, as going into the spawn room will reset the boss.
