Ultimoetalis

BannedLagiacrus' strongest creation, Ultimoetalis is a powerful Elder Dragon that closely resembles the Fatalis Brethren. Like some other monsters, Ultimoetalis is a Solstice Conquest War-exclusive monster.

Physiology
As its name implies, Ultimoetalis has the same overall body shape as Fatalis and many horns around its face like the G-rank Fatalis (Frontier) with one long horn at the end of its snout, however, similar to Dire Miralis, Ultimoetalis has several projections on its neck that release a strange energy from its body. Its rusty gold-crimson colored face looks similar to Fatalis, though looks more armored compared to Fatalis's. Its back has a mixture of black, gold, and crimson scales covering the dragon's body as well as spikes running down its back with a mane between them like the G-rank Fatalis (Frontier). Strangely, the very tip of its tail has fur covering it. On its underbelly are ecliptic black scales with white spots scattered as well as a swirling purple core like Dire Miralis. Dripping from its wings and front claws are globs of tar that stick enemies to the ground while its back legs are covered in explosive powder. Ultimoetalis's eyes are black in color with a purple pupil.

When enraged, Ultimoetalis's swirling core will glow purple, and violet markings will appear all over its body. A freezing aura will also appear around its body when it is enraged.

In the second phase, its eyes will glow blood red and dark energy will surge around its body, though its Rage Mode remains the same.

Habitat
Ultimoetalis is believed to live somewhere within one of the ruins of the Jurassic Frontier. It is thought that the Flooding Tomb is its home.

How to Unlock
Defeat every Conquest War monster once at their highest level, including Solstice Conquest War monsters.

Phase 1
Heading towards the Base Camp, hunters on an airship see an eclipse in the distance with two familiar figures flying in front of it. One of the hunters picks up binoculars to get a closer look before suddenly seeing a red flash fly by the scope. All of a sudden, Crimson Fatalis flies in front of the airship and rains down meteors on it, causing the vessel to fall into the forgotten tomb with the hunters on board. After the crash, the dazed hunters wake up and look around the tomb before one of them notice a giant pillar in the shape of Fatalis. As the hunters slowly get up, a roar is heard from above. Standing on one of the pillars is Fatalis, peering down on them with a sinister stare. As the hunters look up at the dragon, another roar is heard behind them, revealing the waiting to pounce Crimson Fatalis. The hunters reach for their weapons before lightning suddenly strikes the ground around them, revealing White Fatalis standing on top of the third and final pillar. The three dragons stare at the hunters intensely before all of them begin to charge a powerful projectile in their jaws, preparing to finish off the hunters in a single attack but something stops them... As they prepare to fire their projectiles, a thunderous roar is heard above of them, causing all of them to stop, and look into the eclipse. The hunters are stunned that all three suddenly stopped but are soon terrified once they look into the eclipse as well. Peering out of the eclipse are two devilish eyes that make the hunters dread ever taking this hunt. Slowly the screen zooms out of the eclipse as a figure slowly flies out of it. The screen first shows its wings, then its chest, and finally its face. The monster that came out of the eclipse is the strongest of all the Black Dragons, Ultimoetalis! As it stares down at the hunters, it charges up dark energy in its mouth before flying at them. At this point, the last hunt to end them all finally begins!

Phase 2
Ultimoetalis releases a thunderous roar that makes all the ruins in the tomb collapse, forcing the hunters to climb for their lives. As they climb, all the hunters use their best skills to reach the surface of the tomb, and, by some miracle, they all manage to reach the surface. While they were climbing, the Fatalis Brethren flew up into the sky and await Ultimoetalis's arrival. All the hunters are out of breath, but soon notice the sky is darkening and see an eclipse forming in the sky. Spheres of energy, lightning bolts, and meteors begin to fall from the sky, and Ultimoetalis's roar is heard as it slowly comes out of the eclipse. The hunters look up in horror as they stare up at the strongest of the Black Dragons before catching their breath, preparing for their final battle.

Attacks and Moves
Ultimoetalis shares the same basic attacks and movements as Dire Miralis.

Phase 1
Portal Dive: The attack that Ultimoetalis starts with after the intro, it will target a hunter and fly towards them as it charges dark energy in its mouth. When it makes it midway to its target, it will fire the energy down on the ground before flying through a portal it created with said energy. Once through the portal, another portal will appear in one of four directions: In front, below, above, or under the hunter. If the portal appears behind or in front of the hunter, an intense beam will be fired from the hunter's blindside, dealing massive damage to the hunter as well as causing Black Flameblight, before Ultimoetalis comes flying out of the portal. If the portal appears above or below them, hot energy will be spewed from it, draining a hunter's health at a comparable rate to G-rank Crimson Fatalis's (4th Gen) heatwave. After a few seconds, Ultimoealis will come out of the portal itself, damaging any hunters near it, before landing and taunting.

Wu-Xing Element: All elemental attacks that come from its mouth use the Wu-Xing Element.

Blockade of Ice: While fighting Ultimoetalis, water from waterfalls in the tomb is flowing into a large hole in the center of the area. Though the hole seems minor, it plays an important role in the fight with Ultimoetalis in this phase. Occasionally, Ultimoetalis will turn to the hole and summon a large portal over it that drops a large chunk of ice into it. Once the ice is covering the hole, the water will begin to slowly flood the arena, forcing hunters to start swimming. When the water level reaches its head, Ultimoetalis will destroy the blockade of ice by using its dark energy or smashing it with its tail, causing all the water to drain into the hole. The draining water will create a sort of whirlpool at the center of the area that sucks up anything caught within it, including hunters. If hunters are caught in the whirlpool, it will suck them into the hole and they will cart instantly; however, hunters can get out of the whirlpool via Farcaster. If hunters are able to get Ultimoetalis close enough to the hole when it shatters the ice, it will fall into it, similar to a pitfall trap, leaving it open to attacks for a few seconds.

Death Stare: An attack rarely ever performed by Ultimoetalis, it will stand in place with its eyes glowing while staring at a random hunter. If a hunter looks at its eyes directly, Ultimoetalis's eyes will cause Fear, making the hunter panic for a few seconds. It mainly performs this attack when it destroys the ice in the center of the area.

Portal Summoning: Similar to Dire Miralis, objects will constantly be spewed from the protrusions on its neck. These objects are glowing spheres that slowly float into the air before opening up, and releasing a random element. The element is indicated by the appearance of the portal like for example some will have sparks of lightning around, while others will have water dripping from them. There are several types of portals that can be released from Ultimoetalis's protrusions.

Water Portals: Occasionally, the portals it summons will release larges jets of water that will damage any hunters under them, even if they are underwater. The water from these portals will also make the tomb flood faster, making it more difficult for hunters. This attack can cause Waterblight.

Icicle Portals: These portals will have snow dripping from them before being used. As the portal opens, multiple icicles will be released from it, causing Iceblight to hunters under them. If hunters are hit by more than one, the icicles will stun the hunter.

Black Flame Portals: Like the G-rank Fatalis (Frontier), dark energy will erupt from these portals, causing Black Flameblight.

Lightning Portals: Lightning will surge around the portals before multiple bolts shock the ground around the hunters, causing Thunderblight if it comes in contact with them.

Dragon Smokescreen: Ultimoetalis will slam its body on the ground before reddish smoke begins to flow from the protrusions on its neck. This smoke will slowly consume the whole area before completely covering it, making it hard to see nearby comrades. The smoke doesn't deal damage but causes Dragonblight instantly. After this move, Ultimoetalis is known for attempting to possess a hunter.

Possession: While reddish smoke covers the area, Ultimoetalis will roar, causing Fatalis to jump off its pillar, and both will go after two separate targets while hunters can't see. Fatalis and Ultimoetalis will fly towards a hunter in order to knock them down, leaving their target in a vulnerable state. Once a hunter is knocked down, Ultimoetalis/Fatalis will land on top of their target and stare intensely into their eyes, attempting to possess them. As they attempt to possess their target, both will say "End your futile fight! Join the side that will rule over all, and gain the riches you so desperately want!" Hunters have to mash buttons to break free of this deadly pin, but it is difficult since their immense weight also damages you while they attempt to possess you. If the hunter has taken too much damage and has little health, they will instantly possess their target and the hunter will do whatever Ultimoetalis wants. After possessing a hunter or two, Ultimoetalis will clear the reddish smoke from the area, revealing itself and its newly possessed hunters. If either is unable to pin down a hunter, the smoke will clear from the area immediately.

Dripping Tar: As hunters fight this monster, globs of tar will drip from its front claws and wings, leaving them in an immobilized state. Some of its attacks even involve it tossing tar at hunters. Usually, after a hunter is entangled in tar, Ultimoetalis will try to stomp them with its explosive feet.

Tossing Around Tar: Similar to G-rank White Fatalis (Frontier), Ultimoetalis will swing its front claws forward, slashing with one before slashing with the other, as it tosses globs of tar at enemies in front of it. After the two claw slashes, Ultimoetalis will raise up its right claw before smashing it down into the ground, causing a massive splash that sends several globs of tar at enemies. This attack can cause Tarred, and the last hit can seriously damage hunters.

Tar Wings: Ultimoetalis will stand in place and flap its wings multiple times, causing globs of tar to fall off its wings below hunters. This attack causes Tarred.

Sentries of the Eclipse: As hunters are fighting Ultimoetalis, the three remaining Black Dragons (Fatalis, Crimson Fatalis, and White Fatalis) are standing on pillars inside the tomb. These three are watching the fight, and are attacking occasionally via projectiles, making the fight with Ultimoetalis all the more difficult.

Explosive Feet: Like the G-rank Crimson Fatalis (4th Gen), Ultimoetalis's feet will ignite with each step it takes, but its feet cause Blastblight instead of Fireblight.

Explosive Stomp: Ultimoetalis raises one of its feet before smashing it down into the ground, causing a massive explosion that covers a wide range around it. The explosion itself does a lot of damage, but being hit directly by the foot will instantly cart any unlucky hunters. In Rage Mode, a single stomp will cause the ground around it to explode twice rather than once, making the attack more dangerous. This attack causes Blastblight.

Super Explosive Stomp: An attack that is only done in Rage Mode, Ultimoetalis will quickly fly into the air before violently smashing its feet into the ground. When its feet hit the ground, it will cause a massive tremor that makes hunters lose their footing as well as three consecutive explosions around it. These explosions happen shortly after the tremor, and can easily cart hunters with a single blast. After the landing, Ultimoetalis will taunt for a few seconds.

180 Beam Spin-Super Explosive Stomp Combo: Only performed in Rage Mode. Similar to the Arch-Tempered Xeno'jiiva, Ultimoetalis will stand up before breathing a beam as it turns nearly 180 degrees while firing said beam. When Ultimoetalis is nearly finished turning with its beam, it will fly into the air before immediately performing its Super Explosive Stomp. The beam uses all five elements (Wu-Xing Element), and can instant cart hunters.

Monado Buster: If a hunter is behind Ultimoetalis, it may perform this deadly attack. Ultimoetalis will swing its tail from left to right once, using the fur on the tip of it to charge up electricity, before raising it up. As the electricity builds up in its tail, the lightning will change into a blade-like shape before Ultimoetalis attempts to slam its tail on top of a hunter behind it. In Rage Mode, Ultimoetalis will immediately slam its tail a second time after using the lightning blade, damaging hunters that avoid the first attack. This blade does a lot of damage and causes Heavenly Thunderblight.

Tail Beam: It only performs this attack in Rage Mode. Ultimoetalis begins to build up electricity in its tail before swing it from right to left as a powerful beam of lightning is fired from the tip of it, causing Heavenly Thunderblight. If a hunter is hit by the beam directly, it will vaporize their body.

God's Rays: Only performed in Rage Mode, Ultimoetalis looks at White Fatalis before roaring at the Elder Dragon. White Fatalis proceeds to breathe a large beam of electricity into the air, causing several white lights to appear around the arena. While in the air, the single beam splits into several smaller ones that land randomly on the ground, indicated by a white light, and they will instantly vaporize any hunters that are hit by them.

Volcanic Blast: Ultimoetalis will gather energy in its chest before creating a large portal in front of itself. A second after the portal is formed, a large stream of lava will be fired from it, instantly melting any hunter caught in its fiery path. The lava will be fired from the portal for three seconds, leaving Ultimoetalis open to some attacks.

Grim Tides: Ultimoetalis stands in place as it spreads its wings, creating three portals in front of itself. These portals will fire extremely powerful streams of water that deals heavy damage to hunters, causing Waterblight. This attack will also flood the tomb faster.

Unsettling Strength: Without warning Ultimoetalis loses control of its aura before slamming its tail on the ground, making a wave of ice burst from its body. This attack causes Iceblight.

Erupting Energy: When enraged, bursts of energy will erupt from the ground around it when it performs certain attacks. This energy can cause Black Flameblight, Crimson Demonblight, and or Heavenly Thunderblight.

Shining Eclipse Beam: Like G-rank Fatalis (Frontier), it will fly backward before landing and firing a powerful, giant beam at hunters in front of it. When it fires this beam, a flash of light will be produced, instantly stunning any unprepared hunters. This attack can instantly cart hunters in a single blast.

Realm Breaking Roar: When Ultimoetalis enters Rage Mode, it will always perform this powerful attack. Ultimoetalis gets on all fours as it flaps wings, dropping tar on the ground, before unleashing a deadly deafening roar. As it roars, it will slowly stand up and its roar will get louder as a freezing aura surrounds its body. While roaring, multiple portals will spawn around it, raining down random effects on hunters. Hunters that get too close to it as it roars will go deaf for a few seconds, and the icy aura around it will cause Iceblight instantly. It can hold this roar for about six seconds.

Phase 2
In the second phase, Ultimoetalis becomes faster and most of its attacks can now easily kill hunters in a single hit. It also gains an ability considered cheap to players at endgame, making the hunt riskier than ever.

Sudden Explosion: Quickly stomps one of its feet once causing a large explosion that deals significant damage.

Instant Vaporization: This attack is done when it enters Rage Mode and at the beginning of Phase 2. Ultimoetalis will create a massive portal above it that forms a sphere at the center of the area, making a purple light appear on the ground. After forming the portal, Ultimoetalis will land and fight normally. As hunters fight Ultimoetalis, the portal itself will slowly become wider before eventually covering the whole area. If hunters touch the dark light, their body will vaporize, thus carting them instantly. Though the portal covers the whole area, there are two ways to avoid it: Farcaster and staying near Ultimoetalis. For the second option, hunters have to stand within the glowing energy around Ultimoetalis to avoid that move. When it completely covers the area, the portal will quickly close up before it resets at the center. It can take about three minutes for the portal to completely cover the area.

My Brothers: While fighting Ultimoetalis in this phase, one of the Fatalis brethren will join the fight every three minutes. At the start of the phase is Fatalis, then Crimson Fatalis, and finally White Fatalis before the cycle repeats itself as the hunt goes on. Each time the portal is reset, another Fatalis will replace the previous one.

Path to Darkness: This attack is only performed when Fatalis is in the arena with Ultimoetalis. Ultimoetalis will stare at one particular hunter, usually the one that has dealt the least amount of damage to it, before roaring at Fatalis. Fatalis will quickly turn towards that hunter before attempting to grab them with its jaws. If Fatalis misses, nothing else happens and the fight goes on normally. However, if Fatalis does grab a hunter in its jaws, the game will say "[insert name] has been taken out of the quest!" After grabbing a hunter, Ultimoetalis will create a portal that Fatalis goes into before the loading screen starts up for that hunter. When the hunter respawns in the Gathering Hub, they will start at the quest counter and will be forced to restart G-rank! The hunter still has all of their equipment, but won't be able to use some of it until they reach Ultimoetalis again. After taking the hunter out of the game, Fatalis will return to fight by coming out of another portal created by Ultimoetalis.

Backtracking Devil: This attack is only performed when Crimson Fatalis is in the arena with Ultimoetalis. Ultimoetalis will stare at one particular hunter, usually the one that has used the most items, before roaring at Crimson Fatalis. Ultimoetalis will proceed to open a portal before Crimson Fatalis attempts to grab in its jaws. If Crimson Fatalis succeeds in grabbing a hunter, it will quickly toss them into the portal, causing the hunter to return to the loading screen. When the hunter respawns in the Gathering Hub, they will start at the quest counter and will be forced to restart High Rank! The hunter still has all of their equipment, but won't be able to use some of it until they reach G-rank and Ultimoetalis again. Crimson Fatalis will fight normally after this attack.

Emperor's Rays to a New Beginning: This attack is only performed when White Fatalis is in the arena with Ultimoetalis. Ultimoetalis will stare at one particular hunter, usually the one with the highest Hunter Rank, before roaring at White Fatalis. White Fatalis will look into the sky before firing an electrical beam in the air for much longer than usual. After about two seconds, a large white light will be seen on the ground and a red beam will land where the hunter is at. If the beam hits the hunter, they will go to the loading screen and return to the Gathering Hub at the quest counter. The hunter will be forced to restart Low Rank! The hunter still has all of their equipment, but won't be able to use most of it until they reach High Rank, G-rank, and Ultimoetalis again. After the attack, White Fatalis will fight normally.

Unending Eclipse: Ultimoetalis's most devasting attack, and only performed when Ultimoetalis is near death. Ultimoetalis's chest begins to surge with energy as it begins to fly into the air. Once in the air, Ultimoetalis flies into the eclipse which causes the massive portal above the area to disappear, thus the eclipse begins to quickly descend as the Elder Dragon unleashes a deadly roar. When the eclipse reaches a certain point in the sky, the attack will stop, but soon the eclipse will begin to suck up all hunters in the area. Any hunters sucked up by the eclipse will die instantly and start off in the loading screen. Once the game is done loading, hunters will start on the main menu screen... Any hunters sucked up into the eclipse will have to restart from scratch completely, and go through many hours of hunting to get everything they lost from Ultimoetalis. The only way to evade this attack is to immediately use a Farcaster while Ultimoetalis isn't in the eclipse. Once Ultimoetalis is in the eclipse, hunters can't use any of their items like with Behemoth. After the attack, Ultimoetalis will create another massive portal above the area before fighting normally.

Ending Scene
Ultimoetalis roars in pain as it life begins to slip away from its body. All energy escapes from its body before it finally slumps to the ground, and dies. The Fatalis Brethren roar in rage before disappearing into the final eclipse created by Ultimoetalis as the sky clears and the sun shines over the once barren battleground.
