Lumen Caster

The Lumen Caster is the second of the six bosses in Marrow.

Description
Derelict alien machine driven by Lumen Flies. Its body bound to a chair with vines made of Marrow.

The Lumen caster is the boss of Necropolis. He guards the entrance to the Laboratories. In order to reach him, the player must defeat the Dying Success above the large pool of marrow in the rightmost part of Necropolis.

The Lumen Caster is protected by a shield that will block all magical attacks and backlash at the player if they attempt to attack it. While the shield is up, it will fire projectiles as well as summon two small Stillborns that weave up and down, shooting at the player. Eventually, a skull-shape named The Corroded will appear and Three Stillborns will attempt to attack it. If the player kills the Stillborns before reaching The Corroded, it will attack the Lumen Caster and destroy his shield and allow the player to attack it until the shield regenerates. Should the player stand atop the Luman Caster when its shield regenerates they will suffer massive damage.

Strategy
The best method for fighting the Lumen Caster is to simply stand on the middle platform and jump to avoid the attacks of the two small Stillborns until the Corroded appears. If they were standing on the middle platform, they will usually be in a good position to kill all three Stillborns before they can reach the Corroded. It is best to attack the Stillborns below Daniel, as it is much easier to hit the higher Stillborns because the player cannot crouch midair.

After its shield is destroyed, it is best to use flame bursts to attack the Lumen Caster in order to avoid getting caught in the shield when it regenerates. As long as the player does not waste their Clarity, the Lumen Caster can be killed with flame bursts alone, which makes it quite an easy fight.
