User blog:Water's Great Guardian/Fortuitous Cave Speculation



Above are two concept-art pictures for the Fortuitous Cave area/Demo Level, and one screenshot of something on the concept artist's blog. From this, it seems we can conclude some interesting stuff for the Treasure Lord:


 * It's level-60-or-higher, whatever that means.
 * It is also a dragon - possibly (likely?) the parent of all the Whelps flying about, since one of the HTD posts referred to the Whelps as "dragon whelps".
 * The boss level will accommodate five heroes.
 * Dragon eggs will be part of the level, though possibly only as background decoration. (Or as an avenue for introducing Pets?)
 * Bring-your-own-treasure-hoard, apparently - not a problem for a Treasure Lord, of course.
 * "Introductory strategic mindset" implies that the Treasure Lord, as a boss, will have more complex AI than the various Whelps flying about.
 * "Simultaneous slaughtering" may imply that the Treasure Lord has Area-Of-Effect attacks.

A question: Is the Treasure Lord "Clyde"?



More seriously, we may note the following "notes" from the sidebar of KXN@HTD.

Hmm? What are those last two notes, again? "Fo[...] Entrance" - while "Fortuitous Cave Entrance" wouldn't actually fit in that space, that could be artistic license. There's also a "Secret Boss (Not Clyde) Prep" bar on that note - ah, that poor sap Clyde will always be waiting his turn, won't he?

Below that, however, we can clearly see "Idle Stances", "Attack Animation", and "Flight Animation" beneath a sketch of a dragon. Hmm. Treasure Lord, anyone?
