Vampire Survivors 💀⚽️ SKETAMARI BOSS FIGHT aka Skeleton Katamari Ball aka Ball of Bones Guide
Sketamari is a special enemy that appears in The Bone Zone. Unlike most enemies, it does not spawn as part a wave or map event, but instead can be found naturally due south of The Bone Zone's center, traveling back and forth horizontally. Defeating Sketamari for the first time drops Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane.
00:00 Katamari is a Japanese video game franchise created by Keita Takahashi and developed and published by Namco (and subsequently Bandai Namco Entertainment). The series puts players in control of a young character called The Prince (also referred to as Dashing Prince or the Prince of All Cosmos) as he assists his father, the King of All Cosmos, in the re-creation of stars and planets by using a ball called a katamari to roll up objects. The first title in the series was Katamari Damacy for the PlayStation 2, which became a cult classic and led to several sequels and spin-offs.
30:10 Skeleton Ball Boss aka Sketamari Boss Fight Guide
Said to be the result of attempts to create a “Bone Moon” for reasons that defy all sense and logic. Driven by hundreds of minds with a singular purpose, it is drawn to places of high skeletal activity with the intent of adding to its chittering mass and growing ever bigger. How would a Bone Moon even work? Pray this horrifying absurdity never comes to pass.
— Ars Gouda, p. 68
Sketamari is made up of many skeletal enemies, including Skeletons, Skullinos, Skeleton Panthers, Skeletones, Winged Skeletons, and Skulls. It rolls back and forth to the south of the center of the stage. As the player moves closer to it, the sound of it rolling will become louder.
Sketamari is immune to freeze, instant kill effects such as Pentagram and Rosary, and other debuffs.
Absorption
Enemies that touch Sketamari will be instantly defeated and absorbed (including Death), yielding no Experience, Chests, or other drops.
Each time Sketamari absorbs an enemy, it will grow larger.
Starting at 0.25, its scale grows by 0.001 until 1.
At 1, its scale grows by 0.00085 per enemy until 1.5.
At 1.5, its scale grows by 0.00065 per enemy until 2.
At 2, its scale grows by 0.0005 per enemy until 3.
At 3, its scale grows by 0.00025 per enemy until 4, after which it will not grow anymore.
The amount of health gained from an absorbed enemy is calculated based on the scale via the following procedure:
The formula Math.max(1, scale) is used to get a health divider X.
Then X is used in Math.min(2,500, 0.2 * enemy health / X), where the enemy health is divided by 5 and then X, the lower value between the division and 2,500 is taken.
Due to the previous step, the divisor will not be less than 1, increasing the value, or greater than 4, as the scale will not go above it.
Even when a Death gets absorbed, it will only give it 2,500 health at max. Other sources also slowly give less as it gets larger because of the health divider is based on its scale.
The final value is then added to both its current HP and max HP.
If the player is further than 60,000 units away, this will not happen. Although, most enemies despawn already at a much shorter distance, preventing them from being absorbed.
Radius and speed
Sketamari's radius is 200 times its scale. The bigger the radius is, the slower it also rolls. It has various speed multipliers:
Its general movement speed is determined by the formula Math.max(0.5 x player's speed, player's speed - 0.01 x radius)
When it takes knockback, it moves backwards at 90% of its normal speed. Once it reaches a radius of 150 or higher, it will not be pushed back from knockback anymore.
