Summary:
Cracky ben is an event boss that includes many different mechanics that linked not only to the boss itself. To defeat this boss, you need teamwork, good weapons as always, and many more. If this will be a thing, good luck defeating it!
Description:
Cracky Ben is a large squid-like boss, which got only one good spot for damaging it - its head, which is above water. Most of his body takes place underwater, except for his early stated head and tentacles.
Background story:
Survivors tried many places to hide from the dangers of the "new world". They tried caves, water and even space. Yeah, all of them have failed, but the best place to hide from undead was water. So, why not give it a try again?
This was a beggining of a new sea adventure. Crew has been found, now they just needed a ship. Crew of a sea adventure discused that and decided to build a wooden ship.
Building of a ship took a while, to be more correctly, it took 6 months to build it. And, you know, it deserved it! Survivors learned how to grow food, so they won't have to return to the surface until the end of a summer. And everything would be fine, if they would not cross this creature...
Reward:
Mount (Maybe in the future I will make a mount suggestion for the summer event, and if I will do it, i will add it here)
Regular Chest's, which may contain:
Any of the summer 20XX event item (20-30)
Regular items (Airstrike's, grenade's, etc)
200 Tickets
1000 XP
Unique mechanics:
Survivors will spawn in a wooden ship, where they will have to sit in the emergency rafts (After spawn, they will be given 15 seconds to do that to prevent spawn killing, like it was on the Lord Pumpkin Jr. map). After that, they will have to grab oar's and swim away, because Cracky Ben will breake the ship and his head will appear from the water in that place. After the raft is in safety from instantly breaking, the oars will disappear from your inventory (to prevent trolling). But, everyone will be given building tools (they will look like a hammer and a saw) and fishing rods. No, no, no, not to get some raw fish, to get some planks from the remainings of the ship. After getting some planks (and not forgeting to damage cracky ben), you can expand your raft with building tools! You can build expansions, towers, ladders and pillars to make second floor! But dont forget, that it all can be destroyed by come of Cracky Ben's attacks...
Attack description:
Attack 1 (unnamed):
Cracky Ben starts spinning, which causes a funnel to appear. All the rafts will be sucked in this funnel if survivors wont use their oars (during this attack, oars will be given to survivors). To prevent trolling, you can only row in the opposite direction from the boss itself.
Attack 2 (unnamed):
Cracky Ben summons some chtulhu's to kill survivors on their rafts. Causes chtulhu's to appear on the rafts from the water, that will try to kill everyone on the raft.
Attack 3 (unnamed):
Cracky Ben grabs a survivor from one of the rafts. To save him, survivors must shoot the tentacle, otherwise in 30 seconds he will be dead (if he will be saved, a lifevest will be given to him for 30 seconds to get to one of the raft).
Attack 4 (unnamed):
Cracky Ben summons amount of sharks equivalent to the amount of rafts on the map. Each shark will try to destroy each raft. If survivors wont kill it on time, it will destroy a great pat of the raft.
Attack 5 (unnamed):
Cracky ben will heal 50.000 hp by retrieving seaweed from the water and eating it. Can be used only 3 times during this fight.
Tips:
Jetpack is banned here, so don't try to bring it with you.
Remember to repair your raft and to make it bigger!
The best mounts to use here is Jetski, Duck and Rocket Sleigh (won't work when Cracky Ben is dead, so everyone will have fair chances for everyone to get the rewards).
M2 Tripod and toy plane is also banned here, so don't bring it with you.
Trivia:
Cracken -> Crack En -> Cracky Ben.
Idea of the squid-like boss was inspired by Papa Squid.
Mount (in my version) is inspired by claws from Spider-man 2 movie (MOUNT SUGGESTION MORE LIKELY WILL BE ADDED, SO WIP).
Currently, this suggestion is WIP, but I hope that you will like it, bcuz I worked hard for it. Also, please dont forget that im from Russia, and my English grammar is not perfect.
Please help me to add an infobox here, because I dont know how. Information about health, difficulty and etc. will be in infobox.
