Specimen 9

How it works

The old fight followed a repeating attack order. Stone Rain marked locations with red circles, Light Pillars created damaging columns, and Lost Souls chased players. After the souls were defeated, Soul Strike launched orange orbs. Hitting those orbs could redirect them into the boss and bring it down, creating a damage window. That reflection step is central to understanding why simply attacking during the airborne sequence was ineffective.

Lost Soul numbers increased as health fell. The redirected Soul Strike orbs had a different damage value from an orb that struck a player, so those values should not be merged. Screen overlays could appear even during a downed window, and Photosensitive Mode altered their presentation. Hand Wave telegraphed lines before a damaging wave of hands. These were different attacks with separate cues rather than randomized names for Stone Rain.

The boss was removed before, returned with a revamp in November 2022, and later received a remade model and a restored Hand Wave. Its oldest Soul Summon mechanic belongs to the removed moveset, while Soul Strike belongs to the later one. That history explains why old guides disagree without requiring a new invented combined attack cycle. The primary reference is Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion.
