Ropalolyst

"Known and unknowable. This thing has haunted my life, waking and asleep, ever since I made that accursed bargain. A parasite at the core of my city. It drains my wealth, my power, my reactors... and my dignity.

This will not stand. I will see that horrendous thing destroyed.

I will be free."

- Alad V

The Ropalolyst is an gigantic Sentient boss capable of flight. It can be found in the Remastered Corpus Gas City on its own Assassination node on Jupiter, requiring players to have completed Chimera Prologue to battle it.

Strategy

 * 1) The assassination map has 3 eletric generators surrounding the main platform where the fight begins. Make your way to one generator and wait for the Ropalolyst to shoot a beam at you; you need the beam to shoot the generator as it will 'charge' it.
 * 2) Once the generator is charged, shoot the Ropalolyst with Void damage (from your Operator Amps) until its shields are depleted. This will allow you to void dash or bullet jump at it and press the Action button to ride the boss. Once on it, lead it into the charged generator to zap the Ropalolyst and make it vulnerable.
 * 3) Now the boss is unable to fly. Shoot the Synovias on its back to temporarily daze it. There is a console on the main platform you can approach and interact with during this brief daze to lazer the boss, doing massive damage.
 * 4) Repeat steps 1 through 3 until you run out of generators
 * 5) During the last phase, it is vulnerable to weapon damage. It may then gain resistance to weapon damage at which point you can continue to use Void damage. You are somehow able to use the lazer during this phase, but the boss may avoid it. Continue damaging it until it is dead.

Trivia

 * It was first introduced in Devstream 100, under the name Fly-dolon where it would stomp around with its blade-like arms and could fly.
 * A spectral silhouette of the Ropalolyst could be seen during the Mask of the Revenant quest.
 * Ropalo  means bat、club in Greek, but this bat means stick, not the animal bat. This may refer to the Sentients blunt limbs.
 * It could however also refer to Ropalidia, which is a genus of paper wasps, or Rhopalocera, which are the butterflies.


 * Along with the planet Mutalist Alad V and Jordas Golem on Eris, the Ropalolyst is among the only four bosses to share a planet, while not containing a shared node (in thecase of Captain Vor and Lieutenant Lech Kril). Ropalolyst shares its node with Alad V, accesable to any player who has reached his node.
 * The Ropalolyst is the first sentient boss occupying its own node.
