New ApokolipsWalkthrough
- Grail has allied with you to oppose Darkseid on New Apokolips, as the suffering of evil worlds powers Perpetua. However, upon encountering Stompa, the later reveals Perpetua has installed Darkfather as the ruler of New Apokolips and the Furies are now loyal to him.
- The first boss is Stompa, with Lashina and Mad Harriet joining in two different points (order is random). During this fight, Grail's Father Box would periodically generate "lockdown zones" that looks like a green pool on the ground - if one of the Furies step into the pool, they may become stunned until the lockdown zone expires.
- Stompa uses Brawling attacks and has the expected stomp and charge attacks. Has a Lethal attack where she points at a target, then jumps and stomps repeatedly at their location.
- Mad Harriet uses Martial Arts. Has a Lethal attack where she leaps behind a target and slashes them.
- Lashina has the most unusual fighting style, including spinning around with her whip damaging a moderate area around her, and an electrified whip attack that applies an unbreakable stun and continuous heavy damage on one target (easily able to KO from full health in elite), until she is hit by an interrupt attack. She can also spin her whip into a shield shape in front of her while standing in place, avoid attacking her during this time as she would reflect damage.
- Do not fall off the platform in the lava chamber in Elite, as it does not have the forcefields preventing that which exists in Normal.
- Arriving in the final chamber, you find Death Metal Superman bound with kryptonite; Darkfather explains he intends to turn Superman into a servant of Perpetua, and summons a resurrected Brimstone. Brimstone has several attacks:
- Vicious Outburst: Warned by a pop-up message (Brimstone does not attack normally during this delay), you must block before Brimstone explodes, dealing massive damage to everyone in the room and stuns them. In Elite, this ignores Shield Powers and can deal significant damage even when blocked. After the explosion, Brimstone falls on one knee and is stunned for a time, making it the best chance to attack. This seems to be based on his % health, so in normal especially with high DPS it is possible for him to fall to his next threshold before he recovers, making him unable to hit you at all.
- Brimstone may mark a cone in front of him in red before damaging anyone caught within.
- Periodically many red circles appear and after a couple seconds volcanos erupt from them, dealing massive continuous damage. In Elite, 2-3 sets of several red circles may appear within a second or so before every one of them erupt into volcanos.
- After Brimstone is defeated, you must battle Darkfather himself.
- Orbital Strike: Darkfather shoots an omega beam into the sky which then comes down as a red orbital strike with an omega symbol, which can one-shot players. (Elite only)
- Blitz: A standard charge attack.
- He can mark a single target with an omega beam (saying so as he does it), which can be interrupted.
- He can summon multiple Parademon minions.
- Upon his defeat, Grail leaves you in peace, saying she needs to find Darkseid to settle their issues.
