## Encounter Phases
| Phase | Boss HP | Major Mechanics |
| :---------: | :------: | :--------------------------------------------------------: |
| **Phase 1** | 100%–71% | Golden Pools, Burrow Rush, Ancient Larvae |
| **Phase 2** | 70%–31% | Adds Quicksand Curse |
| **Phase 3** | 30%–16% | Enrage, Devour, Earthshatter |
| **Frenzy** | 15%–0% | Faster movement checks and additional Golden Pool pressure |
***
## Golden Pools
Phreeoni creates several telegraphed impact zones around its current position.
> `Golden pools seep through the sand.`
The warning lasts approximately:
> **1.2 seconds**
Each impact affects a **3×3 area** and deals:
> **16% base HP damage**
before Script Damage Rate scaling.
The number of pools increases with the fight:
| Phase | Pools |
| :---------: | :---: |
| **Phase 1** | 5–6 |
| **Phase 2** | 6–7 |
| **Phase 3** | 7–8 |
| **Frenzy** | 8–9 |
Cooldown:
| State | Cooldown |
| :----------------: | :-------: |
| **Before Phase 3** | 11–13 sec |
| **Phase 3+** | 8–10 sec |
***
## Burrow Rush
Phreeoni creates warning effects extending from its current position in the four cardinal directions.
> `The buried maw tears through the sand!`
After approximately **0.5 seconds**, the attack travels outward for **8 cells** in each direction.
Every impacted cell deals:
> **22% base HP damage**
before Script Damage Rate scaling.
| State | Cooldown |
| :----------------: | :-------: |
| **Before Phase 3** | 13–15 sec |
| **Phase 3+** | 9–11 sec |
{% hint style="warning" %}
Burrow Rush forms a cardinal cross centered on Phreeoni's current position.
Moving diagonally away from those lines is safer than remaining directly north, south, east or west of the boss.
{% endhint %}
***
## Ancient Larvae
Phreeoni periodically summons enemies named:
> `Ancient Larva`
The number depends on the current phase:
| Phase | Larvae |
| :------------------: | :----: |
| **Phase 1** | 3 |
| **Phase 2** | 4 |
| **Phase 3 / Frenzy** | 5 |
Cooldown:
| State | Cooldown |
| :----------------: | :-------: |
| **Before Phase 3** | 20–24 sec |
| **Phase 3+** | 16–19 sec |
***
## Phase 2 — Quicksand Curse
At **70% HP**, Phreeoni announces:
> `The desert curse spreads. Stand not still beneath the ancient gaze.`
Quicksand Curse records the exact cell occupied by every living player.
Players receive:
> `Move, or the sand shall claim thee.`
After approximately **2.5 seconds**, any player still standing on the **exact same cell** takes:
> **80% HP damage**
and receives:
> **Stone — 3.5 seconds**
{% hint style="info" %}
Quicksand Curse checks the player's exact coordinates.
Moving even one cell before the check resolves is enough to avoid the scripted hit.
{% endhint %}
| State | Cooldown |
| :-----------: | :-------: |
| **Phase 2–3** | 14–17 sec |
| **Frenzy** | 10–12 sec |
***
## Phase 3 — Devour
At **30% HP**, Phreeoni enters Enrage:
> `Phreeoni casts aside all restraint. The devourer hungers in full wrath.`
Devour selects one player and records their position.
The selected target receives:
> `Phreeoni has fixed its maw upon thee. Flee at once!`
After approximately **2.2 seconds**, the target is checked again.
If they remain within **2 cells** of the original position:
> **80% HP damage**
plus:
> **Stun — 2.5 seconds**
Moving farther than two cells avoids the scripted hit.
| State | Cooldown |
| :---------: | :-------: |
| **Phase 3** | 13–15 sec |
| **Frenzy** | 9–11 sec |
***
## Earthshatter
From Phase 3 onward, Phreeoni creates an X-shaped attack across the fixed center of the arena.
> `The earth breaks beneath the devourer!`
The two diagonals extend approximately **6 cells** from the arena center.
After a **0.9 second** warning, impacted cells take:
> **18% base HP damage**
before Script Damage Rate scaling.
| State | Cooldown |
| :---------: | :-------: |
| **Phase 3** | 12–14 sec |
| **Frenzy** | 8–10 sec |
***
## Frenzy — 15% HP
At **15% HP**:
> `The buried devourer enters a frenzy!`
This changes several mechanics:
* Golden Pools gains one additional impact zone.
* Quicksand Curse becomes more frequent.
* Devour becomes more frequent.
* Earthshatter becomes more frequent.
Golden Pools, Burrow Rush and Ancient Larvae are already using their Phase 3 accelerated cooldowns from the 30% transition.
***
## Wipe Condition
If no living players remain:
> `The desert grows still. The trial is lost.`
The encounter then:
1. Marks the fight as failed.
2. Removes Phreeoni.
3. Briefly summons a **Fading Echo**.
4. Warps the instance back to `moc_fild17 (198,244)`.
5. Cleans up and destroys the instance.
***
## Victory and Rewards
When Phreeoni is defeated:
> `Phreeoni gives a final convulsion, and the buried sanctum falls still.`
Current rewards applied by the script:
| Role | Reward |
| :--------------: | :---------------------------------------: |
| **Solo** | 60,000 Zeny + 1 boss soul item (`150003`) |
| **Party Leader** | 80,000 Zeny + 1 boss soul item (`150003`) |
| **Party Member** | 35,000 Zeny |
{% hint style="warning" %}
The current party reward messages are outdated.
The script adds **80,000 / 35,000 Zeny**, while the displayed messages still say **60,000 / 20,000**.
{% endhint %}
After victory, **Phreeoni Rest** becomes available.
***
