The Nightlord
The Nightlord is the boss of the Souls Like Bosses mod. It lives in the Tree of Light, which Soulrend moves into the Past, the dimension of Act V. No quest asks for it; its reward is its own weapon, the Dark Moon Greatsword.
Location#
The Tree of Light (souls_like_bosses:tree_of_light) generates only in the Dead Ocean biome of the Past, at most once per 100 × 100 chunk area, which makes it very rare. The Past is reached with the Emblem of the Past (see The Past).
No Past soldiers spawn within 96 blocks of the Nightlord.
Stats#
Souls Like Bosses gives the Nightlord 500 health and 8 attack damage. In the Past, Soulrend replaces those bases with 12,000 health and 2,000 attack damage when it spawns, and the level bonus then multiplies the new bases. It has no level setting, so its level is the nearest player’s Soulrend level. The last column uses Act V’s typical level, the player cap of 200 (see Mob Levels).
