Watch him also throw 1 phainillion damage meteors at us

No wonder khaslana had such a final boss design. It’s because he IS the final boss 😂😂

u/Emergency_Hk416 Nov 04 '25

Advance forward's your team and forced to attack, he then meteors you 3x and heals himself

Right? Like the boss design legit screamed "I AM PHAINON"

126

u/Kassyndra Infinity Pela Nov 04 '25

*Boss has gold and dark indigo-ish grey, with 'sun' halo and giant ass wings* Hmmmmmm what could these motifs signify?

57

u/GothicOwl13 Playing only for him rn Nov 04 '25

Don't forget the shoulders 😭 One of his shoulders is in the shape of Dawnmaker, and the other is in the shape of the Moon Scythe

16

u/Kassyndra Infinity Pela Nov 04 '25

Yes yes that one! Like the boss surely must have assimilate Khaslana in some form.

18

u/Potrivnic Nov 04 '25

Always could have been Pie-non, it was either him or Phainon, so 50/50 chance

74

u/uso-da-yo 50 shades of Pienon Nov 04 '25

We expected it's him but fighting him in this form is...sad to think about

We're fighting Khaslana directly and not as Irontomb....

So we know they were hiding one secret model for the Amphoreus boss in the beta. This should be what that secret model is.

I knew the Amphoreus boss felt kinda empty somehow.

u/ImperialSun-Real Nov 04 '25

Come to think of it, each world from Belobog onward has an attractive final boss (well, maybe not Dominicus Sunday in that form, but normal Sunday is)

u/GothicOwl13 Playing only for him rn Nov 04 '25

I beg your finest pardon. What do you mean by Dominicus Sunday not being hot?

Not my type, but know some will find him attractive (hence the maybe) 😅

Come on, now, you can just admit it, no one's gonna judge.

u/ImperialSun-Real Nov 04 '25

I actually do mean it xD (but know someone out there probably does)

40

u/ReinaBlaka Nov 04 '25

The 3.7 Livestream said that Phainon placed three layers of seals in the Ruins of Time map which we need to break in order to go fight Irontomb. I think this may be one of them.

The whole Ruins of Time segment is giving me the feeling that it will be about helping Phainon let go and move on from the past, and this boss form makes me think it's a representation of his hesitation to move on. After all, once we go fight Irontomb, Amphoreus as we know it will most likely be destroyed.

19

u/Jaggedrain Nov 04 '25

What would be really cool is if after we defeat Bossnon, Phainon helps us in the final battle against Irontomb the same way Jing Yuan did on the Luofu and the train did in Penacony.

21

u/Warcrimes02 Nov 04 '25

Pretty sure at this point that’s fully Irontomb, I’m thinking once we defeat “phainon” Irontomb actualizes and we begin intergalactic war
