Boss Guide (Malkuth) | Stoneblock 4
|
Malkuth is a powerful boss found in the Void ring, also known as the Void Chasms. The Qliphoth of Malkuth, a benevolent king who ruled over a once-prosperous land, whose blind, excessive generosity became his kingdom's demise. Players cannot directly damage Malkuth and must instead use cannons to fight him on equal ground. |
Locating and Summoning Malkuth
Malkuth is located in the Void ring, also known as the Void Chasms. Once you have found the arena, you can summon him directly from the Boss Spawner, the two swords in the ground, without any summoning requirements.
The Fight
When getting close to the arena the player's crosshair will have either an orange swirling circle, or a blue swirling circle around it, indicating that the player is currently vulnerable to either Fire or Ice damage. This also means the player has a 100% damage reduction against the opposite type.
Malkuth cannot be directly damaged by a player. The only way to deal damage is by using the cannons on the players' side of the arena. Only the cannon that corresponds to the player's current weakness can be used, for example, blue for Ice damage and orange for Fire damage. Malkuth will periodically jump onto the lava side of the arena, making himself vulnerable. When he does, fire the cannon that corresponds to your current weakness to damage him.
Once Malkuth is at half health the fight enters Phase 2, where crystals will appear out of the ground in the arena. When one of these crystals is active the corresponding cannon will be unable to be used. To destroy these crystals Malkuth must hit them with the opposite damage type from a slash attack.
To get Malkuth to return to the players' side of the arena, move near the lava side to prompt him to jump back.
Flying over to the lava side of the arena will cause instant death.
Malkuth's Marks
All combatants receive a Mark of a Knight at the start of the boss fight. If a combatant leaves the arena before the fight ends, they will be instantly killed in seconds, and the Mark of a Knight transforms into a Mark of a Coward. Stepping back into the arena with a Mark of a Coward will change it back to a Mark of a Knight.
Abilities
Divine Armor
Malkuth wields impenetrable armor, capable of neglecting any damage.
Fire and Ice
While in the arena, combatants may be weak to Fire or Ice. Malkuth's abilities deal three types of damage: Basic (regular damage), Fire (makes targets weaker to Fire damage, deals reduced damage to targets weak to Ice), and Ice (makes targets weaker to Ice damage, deals reduced damage to targets weak to Fire).
Fair Duel
Combatants can use two cannons on their side to fight on equal ground with Malkuth. Right-click a cannon to fire a shot. Combatants can only use the cannon of the type they are currently weak to. After firing a shot, the cannon becomes unusable until the next use of Cannonade.
Knights Duty
During the boss fight all combatants receive Mark of a Knight. When a combatant escapes the arena before the fight ends, Mark of a Knight transforms into Mark of a Coward. When a combatant with Mark of a Coward steps into the arena once again, it changes back to Mark of a Knight.
Slashes
Charges one of his swords and releases an aerial slash traveling towards the target. The damage type of the slash is based on the sword that was charged. This slash is capable of slicing through crystals.
Cannonade

Drops
