Traitor Lord

Hunter's Journal


''Deposed Lord of the Mantis tribe. Embraced the infection and turned against her sisters.''



''I have felt the desire. The desire to take the infection into myself. To become stronger, more powerful... these thoughts haunt my dreams during the darkest times. A false hope, but it can burn brilliantly in one's mind.''

Behaviour and Tactics
Just like the other Mantis Traitors, The Traitor Lord only has three attacks: The Traitor Lord may only have three attacks, but due to its size it can be hard to avoid.
 * Dive: jumps up, followed by a diagonal dive
 * Dash: holds its claws up and dashes forward in the arena
 * Swing: upward slash when the player is close

If Cloth's quest has been followed, she will show up during the fight to aid the player, dealing some damage to the boss.

Bait the Traitor Lord into using its Dive attack then jump over it, get in a downward strike or two, then dash away to avoid contact damage.

Trivia

 * Looking closely, there is a fourth broken throne in the room where the Mantis Lords are fought. The previous occupant of the throne is possibly the Traitor Lord.
 * Usually, the infection would reduce its victims to primal instincts, however this does not seem to be the case with Traitor Lord and the other exiled Mantises, as they seem to have a working society in the Queen's Gardens.
 * The Grey Mourner's lover was the Traitor Lord's daughter, but judging from her dialogue, the Traitor Lord and the rest of the tribe despised their relationship (due to the Grey Mourner being an outsider).
