The Bygone Viceroy is a boss encountered in an underground cave structure located in the Glacium glacial mass biome. It is divided into to halves with each half having it's own respective loot. When you first approach it, it will give off a powerful explosion breaking it free from the ice it was encased in. It is immune to fire, lava, and wither effects.
The Bygone Viceroy Boss awakens.
Description[]
Attacks[]
When you first approach the boss, it will summon minions to attack you. The Bygone Viceroy mainly attacks using the Frostlock ability periodically. It also does melee damage with the sword it wields which applies the wither affect when you are hit. You only have to defeat one of its halves to kill it.
Post-Battle and Loot[]
Upon beating one of the halves, the other half of the boss will slowly perish. The post-battle loot depends on what half of The Bygone Viceroy you defeat first. If you defeat the top half, you will be rewarded with a beacon, a few diamonds, the Frostlock spellbook, and a few bones. If you defeat the bottom half first, you will be rewarded with the Glacium Glider(a custom elytra that prevents wither), a few bones, and a custom banner. Also, the area in which the boss was incased may contain armor with enchants higher than possible in normal survival and a few diamonds.
Lore[]
Wallowing in shame in their personal cave and hotspring, the Viceroy were emissary warriors of the now-lost mod The Scholar. Once proud Frostkin, they have now been reduced to nothing but a husk of their former selves. Viceroys were another experiment of the Frostkin empire during its golden age. The most valiant of Frostkin warriors were "blessed" by the Scholar, and fused into a singular entity of formidable power. Despite being mortal, Viceroy are capable of maintaining a foothold in a territory for hundreds of years by encasing themselves in ice during peacetime Designed to slaughter Netherkin, they can quickly dethaw and fight if they detect a source of nearby body heat.
