Abilities

  • Melvin can do a Stryder stomp, that deals 300 base damage.
  • Melvin has a second attack: - it does the "griddy" dance and deals 150 base damage every 0.5s in a small area around it. This attack hits about 12 times for a total of 1 800 base damage on average and can hit additional ±2 times.
  • Melvin can summon minions, which are all level 250, changed to look like characters from Among Us and can't be tamed by normal means. They all spawn in random quantities. Thpse minions are based on creatures added with the Fjordur map:
    • Amongdrew - Uses the same stats as an  Andrewsarchus. Gives Amongdrew when bred.
    • Desmorbius - Uses the same stats as a  Desmodus. Gives Desmorbius when bred.
    • Imposrir - Uses the same stats as a  Fenrir.
    • Imposterhawk - Uses the same stats as a  Fjordhawk. Gives Fjordhawk when bred.

Combat

General

Melvin is much stronger than most  Bosses with its base health surpassing even this of any tamable  Titans. Its minions will quickly shred through any creature, be it  Giganotosaurus or File:Mod Fixed Extinction Theo Tyrannus.png Theo Tyrannus (Mod:Fixed Extinction).

Unlike the other joke boss - File:Mod Fixed Extinction Gilbert.png Gilbert (Mod:Fixed Extinction), Melvin isn't susceptible to  Net Projectile and creature debuffs, except for Nileodon's blood curses.

Strategy

File:Mod Fixed Extinction Nileodon.png Nileodon (Mod:Fixed Extinction) is a must have for this fight. Its percentage-based life draining abilities are priceless against Melvin's bullet sponge nature.

 Titans can be of great help in this fight, especially mod's own titans - File:Mod Fixed Extinction Fire Titan.png Fire Titan (Mod:Fixed Extinction) and File:Mod Fixed Extinction Shadow Titan.png Shadow Titan (Mod:Fixed Extinction), which the player can tame multiple of.

Multiple high level bred  Giganotosauruses and  Carcharodontosauruses are optimal but strong enough File:Mod Fixed Extinction Theo Tyrannus.png Theo Tyrannuses or  Rexes can hold their own against Melvin's high damage minions as well. Bring a  Yutyrannus to decrease damage taken by your creatures.

Both File:Mod Fixed Extinction Brachyura.png Brachyura (Mod:Fixed Extinction) and  Daeodon can be used to heal multiple creatures at once. Make sure to protect them from minions before going in.

Weaponry

Desmorbius minions can dismount player like a vanilla Desmodus does, therefore powered  Tek Boots,  Parachutes or simply piloting a  MEK, is highly advised.

Dangers

Melvin's minions can deal hundreds of damage per attack. Be sure to dispatch them quickly when Melvin spawns them to its aid.

Weakness

Nileodon's blood curses counter Melvin's huge health pool.
