Boss abilities
| Ability | Adventure Guide | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Shards | Lord Walden releases Ice Shards all over his laboratory for 5 sec. | |
| Conjure Poisonous Mixture | Lord Walden conjures a bottle of poisonous mixture then throws it at the location of a random player. When the bottle lands on the ground it erupts. | |
| Conjure Frost Mixture | Lord Walden summons a frosty mixture and breaks it on the ground. | |
| Conjure Mystery Toxin | Lord Walden summons a cauldron of Mystery Toxin for 10 seconds. The concoction inside is usually a Toxic Coagulant, but when Lord Walden reaches 35% health he summons a cauldron of Toxic Catalyst instead. | |
| Toxic Coagulent | This effect can stack up to 3 times, and if it does then the toxin fully coagulates and the player is stunned for 5 sec. However, whenever a player moves or jumps the toxin becomes unable to coagulate and a stack is removed. | |
| Toxic Catalyst |
