Mithrix

Mithrix is the final boss of the game found in Commencement, the final stage.

It is likely that Mithrix is the younger (or older) brother of providence, the final boss of the first game. He is possibly responsible for the creation of Petrichor V's guardians, however this may be providence's doing, as the lore is ambiguous as to which brother is the superior creator.

Phase 1
Mithrix will start by doing his basic attacks, which consists of running around, teleporting at you with his hammer, smashing the ground with his hammer to cause a shock-wave, and shooting you with needles similar to that of the. His more advanced attack is jumping into air of the center of the stage and slamming down, causing a 360 shock-wave around the stage. The wave ends when it reaches the thin line made of rocks between the platform where he is first seen and the outer platform with a small slope.

Phase 2
Terrain changes (several stone pillars rise up) and several Lunar Chimera Golems and Lunar Chimera Wisps are summoned which must be defeated. Mithrix is not present during this phase while new chimeras are occasionally summoned.

Phase 3
Mithrix comes back with more powerful and different attacks, occasionally summoning Lunar Chimera Golems and Lunar Chimera Wisps. His moveset is similar to the the first phase but the attacks have additional effects to them. He also gets more aggressive and attacks more often. His slam will leave a lingering pillar of flames that will damage the player if they walk into it. After he lands from the jump he will summon moving lines of flame that spin around him and explode after a while, disappearing to make place for new ones. After a few rotations, he will get up and begin attacking with his melee again.

Phase 4
Mithrix steals all players' items and gains their buffs. Hitting him gives some items back. He will fire a burst of projectiles similar to those fired by using, slowly stomping around the battlefield. He will also occasionally kneel and fire fast travelling orbs in eight directions, simultaneously dealing a percentage of his current health in damage to himself.

Aftermath
Once Mithrix is defeated all taken items are returned, the Moon will begin a detonation sequence with an on-screen countdown. A shuttle will fly in along with a pair of TC-280 drones, and the surviving players have 4 minutes to get to the shuttle in order to escape. Sporadically, lines of flames will appear, similar to the columns used by some of Mithrix' attacks. Void Reavers will also spawn and attack the player.

Successfully making it to the shuttle will complete the Washed Away challenge and unlock the Captain as a playable Survivor, and, on Monsoon difficulty, will complete the The Calm challenge and unlock.

Tips

 * It cannot climb the pillars that appear on the phase 2, so if you manage to climb them and do only ranged attacks, the third and fourth phases will be very easy. The ranged attack on phases 3 and 4 can be easily dodged from higher ground too.
 * Mithrix will take but not use any or  during phase 4.
 * Mithrix will not take during phase 4.
 * Mithrix WILL take and use the Captain's during phase 4.
 * Mithrix cannot take any items from currently placed Engineer turrets during phase 4.
 * Mithrix WILL take and use during phase 4. However, you will regain an unspent  along with all other stolen items upon Mithrix's first death.
 * Make sure to invest in basic mobility items for the aftermath/escape. Time will be fairly tight.
 * It is possible to use high burst damage to kill Mithrix before he steals all the player's items in Phase 4. Equipment such as the are extremely effective for this.
 * Hitting Mithrix during phase 4 will return items in the order they were taken, and will return an entire stack at once.
 * Artificer's Snapfreeze Ability is capable of freezing Mithrix, unlike other bosses.
 * Stacking Shaped Glass is another easy way to kill Mithrix, as he will get the reduced hp effect aswell. Making bursting him down very easy.
