So there was always that one boss.  Getting toward the end of the dungeon, and it's crazy gimmicky.  Like vehicles and stuff.  The idea, in theory, TOTALLY BADASS.  In execution though, ugh.  Add hard modes and constant fire(!), clearing it only felt like a massive relief on the road to whatever IMPENDING DOOM the next boss would bring.  And so, here we are.  The Dark Prodigy.  And he's riding some kind of Nemesis' conjured evil TANK vehicle (hellllll yes).  Our Hop Heroes, having finally grabbed all of their necessary epix and set pieces (doing loot carries on the first 4 bosses now fyi), have made it to the Penultimate fight of the dungeon.  (Yes, that means there is one more after this.)  Before his defection to the Darkness, The Dark Prodigy was one of the Hop Academy's finest students, taken by the Nemesis' through the Gateway to the Dark Lab to push his minions even further, to conjure hazy concoctions fueled by the Alchemist's latest teachings.  The Dark Prodigy is a two phase fight.  In Phase One our team of heroes must work together to knock The Dark Prodigy from his vehicle, all while dodging damaging blasts of NZ Motuere, Riwaka and Wakatu, which place a permanent stacking damage reduction debuff on players (and also have notes of mango, pineapple and peach).  At 30% Phase 2 begins, The Dark Prodigy summoning 3 clones of himself (herbaceous hints / sweet aromatics / grassy notes) which all have to perish within 5 seconds of each other or the boss will go into "Another Sip" enrage mode, which is an insta-wipe.  Good luck in your continued quest for epix and hazies, as our "dungeon series" finally makes its way to the grand finale.
