Ye cannot serve God and mammon. — Proverbs of the Ash Court 7:4
The Prince of Greed fell in the first rebellion and became the usurer of the pit. Every hit steals souls from your purse and heals him: guard your purse as well as your health.
Mammon counts the tithe. The souls Lucifer presses into cubes pass over his scales before they go up, and from each he takes his cut. Those above know it and say nothing: they get enough.
Phases
I · The usurer — from the start. II · Golden calf — from 60% health. III · Treasury collapse — from 25%.
Greed
Every hit takes 6% of your purse, at least 3 souls, and each soul heals him for 20.
He that is struck by the scales payeth.
Scales smash
A 0.95 s windup — the pans fall on a 2.6 m circle in front of him, 42. From above — jumping won't help, back off.
The pans fall from above; stand not beneath his measure.
Ram
A line to the wall burns for 1.2 s and freezes 0.45 s before the charge. He rushes at 15 m/s, 48. Hits a wall — stunned for 2.8 s: your window.
The greedy runneth straight, and dasheth against the wall.
Golden rain
Circles under you and around: 4, in the second phase 6, in the third 8. After 1.3 s ingots fall — 40 in a 2.1 m circle.
Gold from heaven slayeth as surely as stone.
Grip of greed
The hook flies up to 14 m along a line. The caught are dragged to the scales and held up to 1.4 s, then hit for 36 — with 3x the theft. Get off the line.
The hook of greed draweth to the scales; depart from its line.
Gilding
For 4.5 s he shines: hits on him don't wound, they bounce back at the striker (80% of the force) and steal souls too. Stop hitting and dodge.
Smite not the golden calf: the blow shall return to thee with interest.
Treasury collapse
3 rings of coins roll to the walls at 8 m/s. The edge is low — jump it, 30.
The treasury fell, and rolled upon the ground; step over the coin.
