Spiritborne Ascendants
by ExrthTIZ412
Spiritborne Ascendants adds a Reaper boss to Forge worlds, summoned through a dark ritual that requires a Sacrificial Dagger and a Soul Bottle.
What it does
The Reaper is a Souls-like boss built around speed and disruptive abilities. Its author describes it as aggressive and focused on quick, punishing attacks. The current moveset includes a standard melee attack and a teleport attack, and six additional moves are still being worked on. The author states the boss is about 70% complete, so the difficulty and late-game base HP are still being tuned.
To start the encounter, a player crafts a Sacrificial Dagger from its recipe. Holding a Glass Bottle in the offhand and slaying a Villager with the dagger captures an essence into a Soul Bottle. That bottle is the second item of the ritual. The boss drops a Reaper Soul and 2-4 Wraithcloth in its current loot table. The mod is published for Forge only, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Client and server both need it installed, so a server and every player must run the same build.
