The Be-Wilder

The Be-Wilder is the fourth world boss, introduced to Habitica as part of the Spring Fling 2016 event on 1 Apr 2016. The associated world quest shares its name

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
The party begins like any other.

The appetizers are excellent, the music is swinging, and even the dancing elephants have become routine. Habiticans laugh and frolic amid the overflowing floral centerpieces, happy to have a distraction from their least-favorite tasks, and the April Fool whirls among them, eagerly providing an amusing trick here and a witty twist there.

As the Mistiflying clock tower strikes midnight, the April Fool leaps onto the stage to give a speech.

“Friends! Enemies! Tolerant acquaintances! Lend me your ears.” The crowd chuckles as animal ears sprout from their heads, and they pose with their new accessories.

“As you know,” the Fool continues, “my confusing illusions usually only last a single day. But I’m pleased to announce that I’ve discovered a shortcut that will guarantee us non-stop fun, without having to deal with the pesky weight of our responsibilities. Charming Habiticans, meet my magical new friend... the Be-Wilder!”

Lemoness pales suddenly, dropping her hors d'oeuvres. “Wait! Don’t trust--”

But suddenly mists are pouring into the room, glittering and thick, and they swirl around the April Fool, coalescing into cloudy feathers and a stretching neck. The crowd is speechless as an monstrous bird unfolds before them, its wings shimmering with illusions. It lets out a horrible screeching laugh.

“Oh, it has been ages since a Habitican has been foolish enough to summon me! How wonderful it feels, to have a tangible form at last.”

Buzzing in terror, the magic bees of Mistiflying flee the floating city, which sags from the sky. One by one, the brilliant spring flowers wither up and wisp away.

“My dearest friends, why so alarmed?” crows the Be-Wilder, beating its wings. “There’s no need to toil for your rewards any more. I’ll just give you all the things that you desire!”

A rain of coins pours from the sky, hammering into the ground with brutal force, and the crowd screams and flees for cover. “Is this a joke?” Baconsaur shouts, as the gold smashes through windows and shatters roof shingles.

PainterProphet ducks as lightning bolts crackle overhead, and fog blots out the sun. “No! This time, I don’t think it is!”

Quickly, Habiticans, don’t let this World Boss distract us from our goals! Stay focused on the tasks that you need to complete so we can rescue Mistiflying -- and hopefully, ourselves.

Objective(s)
Defeat The Be-Wilder and rescue Mistiflying.

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, The Be-Wilder will never hurt any players or damaged any of the players' possessions or stats.

Players damage The Be-Wilder 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 will 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 The Be-Wilder's Beguilement Strike bar. When the Beguilement Strike bar is full, the World Boss will attack an NPC. Only active Habiticans are checked for missed Dailies.

Tips

 * During the world 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 The Be-Wilder's Beguilement Strike bar.
 * The Data Display Tool shows The Be-Wilders's current status in more detail, as well as how much damage the player has done to The Be-Wilder, under the Quest Progress link.
