Description

The Molten Boss appears as the second major boss in Hardcore mode. It also appears as the final boss in the Sandbox exclusive Legacy Molten mode.

Like most other major bosses, the Molten Boss moves very slowly, but it has an extremely high amount of health. It also has burn immunity, making it immune to burn damage. Additionally, as it is a boss enemy, it is immune to being frozen, slowed down by the Toxic Gunner, confused by the Jester, damaged by the Nuke's fallout, knocked back, slowed down by the DJ Booth and it is only slowed down by the Electroshocker and Warden instead of being stunned.

Its first ability is Magma Stomp which will create a shockwave and stun towers that are hit. Its second ability is Scythe Slam which will summon six random enemies. In Hardcore mode, it can summon the Lava and Molten Titan. Its third attack is Fireball. The Molten Boss throws an explosive fireball at a tower. This sets the targeted tower and all surrounding towers on fire, stunning them for a period of time.

The current version of the Molten Boss is similar to the third version, except it has a slash across its forehead, with drooping lines leaking from it.

The third version of the Molten Boss had glowing orange-red skin. It had magma horns on its head as well as magma arms. It had menacing orange eyes and walked slightly hunchback.

Flaming spikes could also seen on its back torso and legs. As it walked, it left behind a lava trail. On its back was an orange-red scythe.

Strategy

• As with most major bosses, the Minigunner, Pursuit, Ranger, Turret and Accelerator are recommended for their high DPS.
  • The Commander can also be used to boost the firerate of these towers with its ability.
  • The DJ Booth can also help increase the range of these towers, decrease their high prices, or increase their damage output, or all three at Level 5.
    • You can set a DJ Booth to its Red track to maximize damage output while also increasing range and decreasing upgrade costs of towers in its range.
• Be sure to have towers capable of eliminating the Lavas and Molten Titans that the Molten Boss can summon.
  • The Mortar and Pursuit are effective in doing this due to their splash damage. For the Molten Titans, a couple of Minigunners or Rangers can defeat them.
• You cannot defend your towers against the Fireball attack if your towers do not have immunity to stun. Additionally, the attack has quite a long range.
  • You can mitigate its effects by not grouping towers together.
  • Air-based towers, cliff towers and the Medic are immune to this attack. Additionally, the Gladiator and Warden can block this stun, so long as they do have not blocked another attack within the last few seconds.
  • A few bait towers can be used to distract the Molten Boss, making it less likely to throw the fireball at other towers.
• You can use the Medic's ability to cleanse towers of the Molten Boss's Fireball and Stomp stun.
• The Toxic Gunner cannot be used to slow this down.
  • Stunning towers like the Electroshocker can only slow it down instead of stunning it. Similarly, freezing towers can also only slow it down instead of stunning it.
  • The Jester's confusion cannot confuse it, but its ice bombs can still slow it down.
  • It cannot be slowed down by the DJ Booth.
