Gas Knight
Gas Knight is the boss of the Dungeon Raid and is encountered at Lv. 4000. Defeating it is typically the main objective of the raid, making it one of the strongest enemies players face within the dungeon. Its high level and boss mechanics require good damage, survivability, and awareness, especially for players attempting the encounter alone.
Location:
The Gas Knight is encountered on the 15th floor of the dungeon. It serves as the final boss in Easy Mode, while Hard and Challenge modes replace it with Zero as the dungeon's final encounter.
Environment:
The Gas Knight's arena contains gas vents that periodically release gas toward the boss. Players should destroy these vents as quickly as possible, as allowing them to remain active can make the fight more difficult by supporting the boss throughout the encounter.
