The Mad Alchemist is a magic-user boss found in The Watching Woods. He attacks with various elemental spells and teleports frequently. Phase 1: He casts fireballs, lightning bolts, and a poisonous cloud. He also has a short-range staff swing. Dodge his projectiles and try to close the distance when he's casting. He will teleport around the arena, making him hard to pin down. When he casts the poisonous cloud, quickly move out of its radius. Phase 2 (below 50% health): His spells become more frequent and he might cast multiple projectiles at once. He may also summon small, exploding alchemical blobs. Weaknesses: He is vulnerable to physical damage, especially if you can get close. Rewards: Salt, Black Pearl, Vertigo Brand. Strategy: Stay mobile, dodge his spells, and use quick melee attacks or ranged attacks when he's vulnerable after casting or teleporting. The arena is small, so awareness of your surroundings is key.
