To make boss encounters interesting, I had to find a way to make the boss have certain behaviours, sometimes at specific moments. To make it flexible, I am currently using Lua scripting for this purpose, and the results came very fast.

Here's a screenshot as a preview of what is going on at the moment.

This is a scripted boss encounter, where the boss has speeches on entering combat and at 60%, it can spawn void zones under your feet and can spawn adds. I will also be adding a phase 2, where the boss will become slightly empowered.
