Albardiu

Albardiu is a character in Dark Deception: Unchecked Limitations. He serves as the midboss of Egyptian Epidemic.

Appearance
Albardiu is a huge skeleton with Egyptian clothing. It has no lower half body, instead having a purple flame 'dress'. Its eyes glow purple and it towers above the player.

Personality
Although Albardiu's personality is not mentioned ingame, official canon information reveals he has pretty much Skeletor's personality.

Powers
Albardiu is a powerful entity capable of immense strength and magic. It can be summoned from the below realm by a certain invocation that lets it assume a physical form in the above realm for a brief period of time. This invocation is used by the Xutep to sacrifice humans.

Behaviour
Albardiu has several attacks. Smashing the ground with his fists, creating bony spikes from the floor, spitting out a purple plasma blast and attempting to grab the player. The player must survive for 2 minutes in order to beat the boss battle. After this, the portal reappears and Albardiu is sucked back in and the doors to the pyramid open as Zumarud's laughter can be heard echoing from it.

The strategy is to keep as much distance from Albardiu as possible, and to use teleportation if you are cornered.

Albardiu's arsenal consists of:


 * Boney Knuckles: Smashes the ground by punching similarly to the Goliath Clowns. There is a purple indicator where Albardiu will punch.
 * Spikes of the Underworld: Summons bone spikes that shoot up from the ground. The indicator is also purple.
 * Dark Magic Meteor: Spits out a large exploding purple blast at the player. This can kill even if the initial projectile doesn't hit, as the blast radius is twice the size of the meteor.
 * Soul Snatch: Swipes forward in an attempt to grab the player.

Trivia

 * Albardiu is arabic for Papyrus
 * Albardiu seems to draw a lot of inspiration from Anubis, the Egyptian God of the Underworld.
 * Albardiu's theme is actually an Egyptian styled remix of Bonetrousle from Undertale

Lore
Albardiu is one of the many entities Zumarud has conquered and beaten, but unlike most others, Albardiu accepted his defeat honourably and swore to aid Zumarud in his fight for power. Eventually however when Zumarud challenged the almighty gods, Albardiu was defeated just like the rest of the Xutep army. His skin was blown off his bones and he was sliced in half during the battle. Thanks to Zumarud's dark magic and Yagut's divinity, Albardiu was able to survive. He took the identity of the death god in Xutep religion, and although he never got his legs back, he was able to regain his former power when he was fed the souls of the enemies of the Xutep. In his lair, Albardiu lays dormant until summoned to claim the offering.
