This week, I have been steadily working on the next quest. It ends with a boss fight that I think will be quite difficult. You have to use the things you learned during the quest to defeat the boss. I outline some cool things about this fight below.

First, the boss walks around and plants switch grass in random spots. These are actually traps, that deal damage when stepped on.

You can use Maygrass seeds collected earlier in the quest to stop the grass traps from expanding, or to eliminate a trap completely.

Next, the boss starts spawning mayflies and grass traps continue to expand. You need to time you defenses as shown here if you want to block the projectiles. Balancing blocking and moving is tricky!

Finally, if all that is enough to stop you, death has been implemented. Upon death, all items are dropped to the ground and the player returns to the starting position of the current map. Items can be recovered by picking them up.

I am getting close to wrapping up this quest and am excited to update the game with new content! I have fixed a ton of issues along the way and will make another post about those soon. Thanks for reading!
