  • When the battle begins, the Nemesis is shielded. When a character enters and maintains the Nightsoul's Blessing state, the Nemesis will accumulate progress toward Adaptive Countermeasures. Due to the Ley Line disturbance, after the Nemesis finishes accumulating Adaptive Countermeasures for the first time, its Shield will be broken, and it will take backlash DMG.
  • After Adaptive Countermeasures progress fills up, the Nemesis will activate Accretion Mechanisms and charge the Boltsphere Cannon. The Accretion Mechanisms will generate force fields to protect themselves. You must climb up solid Phlogiston to get inside the force fields to destroy them. After all the Accretion Mechanisms are destroyed, Boltsphere Cannon charging will be interrupted, while the Nemesis will get paralyzed and simultaneously take backlash DMG.
Adaptive Countermeasures: Cold Start

When the battle begins, the Nemesis will be protected by a strong Shield and gain high All Elemental and Physical RES. When a character enters and maintains the Nightsoul's Blessing state, the Nemesis will accumulate progress toward Adaptive Countermeasures. Due to the Ley Line disturbance, after the Nemesis finishes accumulating Adaptive Countermeasures for the first time, it will lose the All RES increase it gained at the start of the battle, its Shield will be broken, and then it will take backlash DMG based on the amount of DMG absorbed by the Shield.

Boltsphere Cannon: High-Pressure Pumps

After Adaptive Countermeasures progress fills up, the Nemesis will activate Accretion Mechanisms and excavate 2 blocks of solid Phlogiston before absorbing energy from within them to charge the Boltsphere Cannon. The Accretion Mechanisms will generate force fields to protect themselves. You must climb up solid Phlogiston to get inside the force fields to destroy them. After all the Accretion Mechanisms are destroyed, Boltsphere Cannon charging will be interrupted, while the Nemesis will get paralyzed and simultaneously take backlash DMG.

The turbulent data within the Ley Lines has made its core become more violent, causing the detection devices it oversees to unleash energies more calamitous than they originally would.

Shadow of the Precursor's Secret Source Matrix of Overseer Network: Collective
This was originally just a device developed to assist in lunar research. Later, however, it was granted powers and responsibilities far beyond its original purpose.
As the Ley Line disturbance has warped and corrupted it over time, its core and detection devices have become completely overwritten. The original purpose for which it was designed is all but gone. All that drives it now is a destructive will that drives endless machine hordes forward to drown all life.

A machine used in the building of old ruins. The masters of those ancient domains used this machine that could change its shape for various manufacturing tasks.

Secret Source Automaton: Configuration Device — Giant Claw
A machine used in the building of old ruins. The masters of those ancient domains used this machine that could change its shape for various manufacturing tasks.
Amidst the turbulent flood within the Ley Lines, its lava-resistant shell has been transformed into armor, the great might that built colossal cities now forged into titanic pincers. What was once a command to "construct" has been warped into a desire to "destroy," driving it to complete the "grand endeavor" of rendering all things into rubble.
