Verlyrus:
Arena at the Edge of Time: The Untitled

Hey there heroes!

A sole shadow on the horizon. The dread.

The pattering of webbed feet. The anxiety.

A flutter of white wings.

A flash of orange beak.

A honk echoes in the tumultuous clouds above.



This week, the Dreamspace 2 board at the Arena at the Inn at the Edge of Time has been updated with a most... singular challenge.

Do you have what it takes to face Goose Dragon, the Untitled?

Earn a badge and a special cosmetic helm if you can take down this terrifying foe!

Also, Cana the Baberian has 3 new hairstyles available for you!

Head on over to the Inn at the Edge of Time to check things out!



Unfortunately, we weren't able to finish the Trick-or-treating Neighborhood unlock reward this week- but it will be coming soon! If you've unlocked all of the Neighborhoods in 2021 Trick-or-treating, the reward will be unlocked even after Mogloween is gone.

So what is it? Well, here's a preview of the special new customization option coming soon for DragonLord!





This week, November's Dragon Coin special is live!



The Autumn's Cull scythe can be clicked to switch from Nature to Ice element damage, but that's not all! If you have the Helm of Autumn's Call or the Autumn's Grace cape, those will change appearance as well when you click on the scythe! The Autumn's Call items, as well as the Turducken Wyvernling have also returned.

If you're interested, be sure to pick them up from the Book of Lore while they're around!



And that's all for this week!

So I took a shot at the Goose Dragon.


It went about as well as Inn challenges usually go for me. Which is to say I got utterly greased.


Thank you for the update on the trick or treat reward! I was wondering about it! Looks super cool!

Ooooh boy.
spoiler:

Welp, I certainly wasn't expecting to see this little guy use my own Blade of Awe to regenerate half of it's max health. Makes me wonder how many special weapon effects it can actually use if it's in the players inventory. Either it only has ones that are widely used (i.e. Uragiri/Verraad, BoA, Ice Scythe etc), or you've been one VERY BUSY cat, Verly! Quite impressive either way. I'll have to see if I can use this unique mechanic to my advantage.

EDIT: Okay so it seems it doesn't steal weapons from your inventory. From what I've seen it steals weapons from your bank too. That or it just has a BLoD and Ice Scythe (and possibly others) whether you own them at all or not. Not too keen on experimenting on that...
EDIT 2: Can confirm that the Goose can indeed use weapons the player doesn't own. No need to throw out all of your best weapons.


That Dragonlord armour is sick too, excited to see it finished!

Well, that solo is definitely giving me the figure why certain people have fears on geese. Managed to pummel its HP to 25% as a DmK before its healing factor undid practically all the hard work (seems to be tied to that HP pot). And its particular race means no -30 weapon EleRes from Corruption (for some reason though my luck managed to 5-turn Malefic stun it). Only Malefic-esque stuns will work on it, and bring all the MP pot, HP pot, and Hero Diet you can get. It'll be an attrition of the ages (makes me wonder if it beats Inn Sinnocence on that title).


On the lighter side of things, that DL customization looks swag and suited for those who want some edgy/evil feel. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

For the new Cull set piece, I see what you did there. A dual element variation of the existing, gold-only Winter's Cull (found in the Mr. Nameless segment of the Maleurous Saga). Well, at least the weapon's art shift is followed by the accessories.

Thought I could disable the health potion ability of the goose by getting rid of my own potions. I could not. May this information serve to assist those who will *actually* fight the blasted thing again, cuz I sure ain't gonna.

Important to note... that's not 100 stun resistance. That's negative 100 resistance. Those struggling will want to see what that means when you stun it... Also, the reward is very UwU adorable

This was a fun one! The goose wasn't too too difficult imo once you figure out it's mechanics.
spoiler:

Like the others said, it seems to take weapons from your inventory/bank and can utilize the specials of each respected weapons. It can also use potions every now and then. However, since it does have a -100 immobility, I thought to try stunning it and found out that each time it gets stunned you knock away its weapon, thus getting rid of whatever special it was going to do, but the goose itself is immune to stuns. There are also the honk levels, which I think occur after you knock away each one of it's weapons. After reaching the max levels of honk, it'll nuke you with an auto crit null attack, but the attack is not auto hit, so it can be avoided. For classes I'd assume you want to use classes that have lots of stuns like Technomancer, SWOT or Archivist. Archivist in particular seems to be the best class from what I found as you can consistently loop your stun and the ultimate orb pretty much guarantees that you'll knock away whatever weapon it has. The reward looks nice even if it doesn't quite suit my fashion tastes lol. It does seem to be upgradeable in the future so that'll be interesting to see.

The new DL looks great and I can't wait for it to be implemented. Overall pretty good release!

As others have said, the goose was pretty easy once you realize how its mechanic works.

That being said, I did enjoy the fight overall! Loved the background and the design of the boss.

And with that, I've managed to vanquish Avatar Uaanta's pet dragon while redeeming my Doomknight's disgrace (just a bit. I was fully prepped that my first run was a test run). Yeah, RNGesus must line up in a way that Fumes and Spikes failstun her (Malefic autostuns do not disarm the heathen goose) without getting open atk to any stray pots and BoAs (the one grace of the Malefic autostun here). Used my regular player stat config (130 STR/INT, 85 END, 100 WIS) whilst going for a 200 PROT/FIT/MIS dragon (is it possible to 200 PROT/FIT, 199 AST, 1 MIS, or the lack of -AllRes gonna bite back on the final Favor-Inner turn?) along with 5 HP/MP pots (double redundancy) and Hero Diet (I know my lower HP will be a liability, plus it helps (Seaweed) punch slightly through the -Bonus of UBLoD). The reward is... let's not speak of it. At least a big badge now shines in my Book of Lore.

EDIT: After reading the drop description, I can just picture a Fluffy Tog with a cutesy ribbon now. Dunno if it'll be a dream or a nightmare.

Very nice fight. Long yes, but it didn't have particulary hard mechanics. Epoch the boss killer thrives again while screaming "feed me" due to lack of food in my inventory. I did give him 2 health potions, I'm not a monster. And he seems to dislike that I hardly change his equipment, why is his inventory so full then?

But I really liked the design and the mechanics. Oh, what will our Fluffy Boy get in the next update of Dreamspace 2?

spoiler:

Due to it's stunning capabilties, I am wondering if Techno with high MPM can beat this a bit faster. This is a fight of attrition, so it can hurt in the later sections of the battle.

^Korriban released a vid demonstrating exactly that. So far in the YT-verse's non-DmK vids, I have seen Techno, Pyro, and (RNG have mercy) CZ able to down the goose.

Yeah I watched it, confirming my thoughts. I just tried with BDL on my alt. Didn't give that much trouble, BDL survived pretty easily without any extra food or potions or changing equipment. Having your Dragon be able to stun also helps.

Had to rub my eyes twice to make sure that the Goose from the abyss busted out an uragiri, an action which was followed by profuse sweating I might add.

This was a fun boss fight though and an even funnier reference and I liked seeing all the "meta" weapons that were being used in the Goose's rotation against us. It was a nice little war of attrition in the end and I can't wait to see what the new item merge will be.

As for the new Dragonlord customization...is that a Shadowscythe theme option? Because if so yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!

HOOONK! HONK HONK HONNK-!!

[Translation:]
I'm late to the reaction party, but oh boy! This Goosedragon is going to annihilate me and I KNOW it, but I will do my BEST-!!

Sidenote, is Verlyrus doing alright? On the Df Design Notes page I noticed the titles "Exhausted Cat" and "Tired Cat" -- I hope that cat gets a break soon! The Df team works hard!!

Can't wait for the new Dragonlord customization. 3rd time was the charm with Goose Dragon. But I gotta ask if we will be able to get Gelunguis, Trigoras and Oratath masks, can't find them in mask shop.
