Dark Avatar of the Eagle

The Dark Avatar of the Eagle is the boss of the Eagle Temple in Curse of the Dead Gods.

Appearance
The Dark Avatar of the Eagle is a dark skinned humanoid wearing black robes and wielding a golden sword and shield. Its face resembles a white eagle mask with golden pieces, black feathers and bleeding eyes. It sports skeletal wings, with feathers replaced by swords, and its lower half is replaced by a blue-gray tornado.

Attacks

 * First attack is a fast, long ranged shield bash. It can be dodged and parried, and bears resemblance to the Harpy attack.
 * Second attack is a sword combo, consisting of 2 quick slashes and a delayed thrust.
 * Third attack is a sword spin.
 * Fourth attack is a backhop that causes a gust of wind.
 * Fifth attack is a singular swing that covers its back.
 * The Avatar will enter a defensive stance and begin healing. If you interrupt with an attack, it will execute a counter-attack, which can be any of the above(the sword combo is replaced by a side-step and a thrust).
 * Once it reaches a certain health threshold it will summon a small tornado that will move around the room and periodically release a shockwave that covers the whole arena. The max amount of tornadoes is 3, and they deal contact damage.

Tips

 * Most counter-attacks can be dodged with the same timing. Try dodging away from the boss.
 * Try to avoid being circled by the tornadoes. While you can pass through them, they will deal heavy damage.
 * If you are using a ranged weapon (or a spear), the attacks used will mostly be the shield bash, the sword combo(if close enough) and the healing stance.

Journal entries
''The Avatar of Yaatz was certainly once beautiful, proud and imbued with a lofty confidence. That was before Xbeltz'aloc defeated and reanimated its perfect corpse. Still, the poise and grace of its deadly movements remain as a testimony to its elegant past life as the incarnation of a God of Wonder.''

''The choices of whom to follow here are all treacherous. Yaatz awards you amazing power... the ability to snatch a life in the blink of an eye. When taking a life is made so simple, its value seems to diminish in equal proportion. Were I to survive this temple, with powers intact, I fear that I might well have been a made a murderer, sans remorse, sans regret.''

Trivia

 * This Avatar is the only one that doesn't use its temple's respective element in any of its attacks.
