Blighted Greenskeeper

The Blighted Greenskeeper was the capstone boss of the Garden of Genesis dungeon. This was the first boss I had the opportunity to work on. My goal with this creature was to combine New World’s best-in-class MMO action combat with mechanics that challenged the player’s positioning.

By combining poison pool AoE mechanics with a rock slam ability which challenged players to hide behind the rock to avoid damage, players needed to communicate and strategize about where to stand when poisoned to ensure that “safe” spots weren’t made dangerous.

I was really happy with how the fight turned out as it was fun to play repeatedly while still making me think through the encounter each time.
