This overhaul makes Rykard a more challenging encounter :

The first phase is against the God-Devouring Serpent, with a few new attacks.

In phase 2 you fight Rykard and when he reaches 50% hp he will do the rancor storm attack (lots of skulls coming from the sky) and regenerate to full health, beginning phase 3.

Phase 3 is a lot like phase 2 but Rykard can now summon his sword on top of your head and perform a combo. The sword acts as an area denial for the duration of the combo. Being hit by taker's flame restores 15% of Rykard's health.

List of changes to the bossfight:

1. Removed Rykard's feet during Phase 2, which allows him to have higher mobility (necessary for the fight to be at a higher rythm).

2. Camera zoomed out by a lot when engaging with the boss.

3. Rykard's (and the serpent's) resistances have been adjusted, health and damage are the same. The serpent hunter deals about 70% less damage, making the other ways of dealing damage, as viable (spells / incantations ...).

4. Added new attacks and new combos for both the God-Devouring Serpent Phase and the Rykard Phase.

5. Rykard’s slam attacks now produces shockwaves.

6. Rykard is more aggressive than in vanilla.

7. Rykard no longer does Rancor Storm in Phase 2 when the sky is deep orange. He now does the move when reaching 50% HP.

8. Rykard now has a new phase where he can use various new moves and additional combos that are absent in the 2nd Phase.

9. Like the player’s version of Taker’s Flame, Rykard’s Taker’s Flame steals HP upon hit.
