The Horrible Executioner is a Mini boss in Midnight Horrors. It was added in Version 1.50.
After obtaining the sword, 3 Horrible Executioners will sit at the sides of the walls in random locations, being immobile until you stand close to him for 3 seconds or hit him. Horrible Executioner usually spawns near other Iron Maidens. They are easily identifiable because they are visually larger than the normal Iron Maidens. They will also emit a pulsing sound that increases in volume as you get closer, and their eyes will glow. You do not have to fight them to beat the event, and are entirely optional. If you wish not to fight them, simply DO NOT APPROACH.
Fight[]
Similar to every other fight in the event, a barrier will appear around the Horrible Executioner. Notably, the FOV will pulse along with the sound of a heartbeat for the duration of the fight. Upon being defeated, the Horrible Executioner will simply fade out of existence, and you will be awarded the "Tougher Than Steel" badge.
Due to the nature of the executioner, it is extremely difficult to land hits on it. This causes the fight to last around 4-5 minutes on average if you repeat safe swings whereas the fight can be cleared in under 2 minutes if you never miss a swing.
The Horrible Executioner has around the same health as The one with the Big Sword, taking exactly 85 hits from the player before death.
Attacks[]
- Claw Swipe: Swipes the area in front of it with both of its front legs upwards.
- Body Slam: Leans backwards, then dashes forward to slam.
- Execution Lunge: Prepares for a moment, indicated by green eyes, it then opens both doors like a mouth and lunges forward. Will instant kill the player. Can be blocked for half the posture bar.
- Arrow Rain: Immobilizes for a brief second, then unleashes a large scatter of arrows upon the player, rapidly draining the player's health. Fully blocking this attack requires roughly 40% of the posture bar.
- Enrage: Once Horrible Executioner's health hits roughly 20% (18 HP remaining), its eyes will enlighten as it loses the ability to use Claw Swipe and Body Slam. Audio cues for Execution Lunge and Arrow Rain will no longer play during this period.
Notes[]
- After using Execution Lunge 3 times, the 4th time he will use Arrow Rain instead.
