Papulatus also regularly heals

Papulatus is quite an old boss these days, and is one that is barely poses a threat anymore. Located deep in the Ludibrium clock tower, it is only accessible after completing a rather long and tedious quest.

First of all, let's have a look at what Papulatus is capable of. The fight takes place in two stages. (three really, though the first hardly counts) The bulk of the fight consists of the Papulatus Clock itself.

The first phase is simply the summoning orb, it has no abilities but reasonable touch damage. Its death spawns Papulatus.

The first "true" phase of the Papulatus fight is the Papulatus Clock, it has a wide variety of all the usual abilities. It has the obvious direct damage magic attacks dealing around 1,800 damage. HP1/MP1 is a given, however it is somewhat different in Papulatus' case, after casting HP1/MP1, Papulatus will retreat into its... shell I suppose, where it'll avoid all attacks for about 5 seconds. It also has dispel, slow, attack buffs and is capable of summoning two types of bombs. The bombs look identical, but there are the top and bottom variants, which are summoned on the top and bottom platforms obviously. Papulatus also regularly heals itself and everything around it for about 20,000 or so, tough it barely matters. Finally, it deals around 3,100 touch damage. This form of Papulatus has 23,000,000HP

The second phase of the fight is Papulatus. (minus the clock) This part is short, sweet, and for some, scary. Papulatus will fly around very quickly, dealing around 5,000 touch damage. It has no other attacks. This phase should take no more than a couple of minutes.
