Burnout and the Exhaust Spirits

Burnout is the third world boss, introduced to Habitica as part of the Fall Festival 2015 event on October 8, 2015. Burnout and the Exhaust Spirits is the name of the associated world quest.

World bosses are fought by all active Habiticans and are damaged by players using the normal boss quest mechanics. The participating players never receive any damage.

Description
It is well past midnight, still and stiflingly hot, when Redphoenix and scout captain Kiwibot abruptly burst through the city gates. "We need to evacuate all the wooden buildings!" Redphoenix shouts. "Hurry!"

Kiwibot grips the wall as she catches her breath."It's draining people and turning them into Exhaust Spirits! That's why everything was delayed. That's where the missing people have gone. It's been stealing their energy!"

"'It'?'" asks Lemoness.

And then the heat takes form.

It rises from the earth in a billowing, twisting mass, and the air chokes with the scent of smoke and sulphur. Flames lick across the molten ground and contort into limbs, writhing to horrific heights. Smoldering eyes snap open, and the creature lets out a deep and crackling cackle.

Kiwibot whispers a single word.

"Burnout."

Objective(s)
Defeat Burnout and the Exhaust Spirits.

Mechanics
All active Habitica players automatically participate in this quest. No opt-in is required, nor does the player need to be in a party. However, Burnout never hurts any players or damages any of the players' possessions or stats.

Players damage Burnout via the standard boss fighting mechanics: completed Dailies, completed To-Dos, positive Habits, the Warrior skill Brutal Smash, and the Mage skill Burst of Flames.

Missed Dailies do not cause this boss to damage a player's health (you still take damage if you are fighting a party Boss and for your own dailies), but they do increase Burnout's Exhaust Strike bar. When the Exhaust Strike bar is full, the World Boss will attack an NPC. Only active Habiticans are checked for missed Dailies.

Tips

 * During the Burnout and the Exhaust Spirits quest, players can take part in party quests as normal (both boss quests and collection quests).
 * Resting in the Inn prevents a player's incomplete Dailies from increasing Burnout's Exhaust Strike bar.
 * The Data Display Tool shows Burnout's current status in more detail, as well as how much damage the player has done to Burnout, under the Quest Progress link.

Trivia

 * This is the first world boss to be animated.
