Fight Mechanics
Thorn has a single phase, with multiple parts.
| Attack Name | Attack Mechanics |
|---|---|
| Summon Minions | Summons Spirit Animals to fight the player. These mobs have varying amounts of health and damage. |
Boss Fight
| Spirit Bear | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| |||||||||
Thorn spawns Spirit Animals within the arena. Players must kill enough of these animals to spawn the Spirit Bear. Players can view the progress by looking for the sea lantern ring around the arena.
Spirit Bears are strong Mini-Boss enemies that spawn during the Catacombs Floor IV Thorn boss fight. They appear after 25 Spirit Animals have been defeated, and only 1 exists at a time. When defeated, they drop a Spirit Bow (not to be confused with the Spirit Bow weapon), a single-use bow which is the only weapon that can damage Thorn. In the Master Mode Catacombs Floor IV, Spirit Bears spawn in groups of 3 instead, and only the last one killed drops the Spirit Bow.
Players must successfully hit Thorn four times to finish the fight.

 Spirit Bat
|
50k  Health 2.8k  Damage 1k  Defense
|
50 | They spawn throughout the fight, but do not attack players or move unless they go 4 or more blocks above the ground of the arena. Uniquely, they do not give players they damage any invulnerability frames, allowing all of the spirit bats in a swarm to damage a player at once. Despite their weak individual nature, they can cause near-instantaneous death to any players caught by a swarm. |
 Spirit Bull
|
1.35M Health 3.32k Damage
|
50 | They spawn throughout the fight and follow the nearest player around. |
 Spirit Chicken
|
120k Health 1.16k Damage
|
50 | They float down from the roof and, upon reaching the ground, plant a Chicken Mine into the ground that deals high damage and launches players into the air, attracting the attention of Spirit Bats. It is possible to be damaged by multiple Chicken Mines at once, dealing heavy damage. |
 Spirit Rabbit
|
260k Health 3.72k Damage
|
50 | They spawn throughout the fight and follow the nearest player around, attempting to kick them into the air. Although they don't do a lot of damage on their own, players that get kicked into the air attract the attention of the Spirit Bats which prove to be a deadly combo. |
 Spirit Sheep
|
400k Health 22.4k Damage
|
50 | They spawn throughout the fight and follow the nearest player around. Despite being passive and dealing no contact damage, they will start flashing red and eventually explode if they get close enough to a player, dealing very heavy damage to nearby players. |
 Spirit Wolf
|
450k Health 5.4k Damage
|
50 | They spawn throughout the fight, quickly chasing down the nearest player, attempting to bite them and deal damage. Compared to other mobs in the Catacombs Floor IV, Spirit Wolves deal significantly more damage than most other enemies. |

Trivia
- Thorn's quote "How one dies shows how one lived" is taken from the League of Legends character Kindred.
- The second half of this same quote, "And it was your masterpiece," seems to be inspired by Jhin, another League of Legends champion.
- The remains of Thorn can be seen in the Catacombs Floor V AND Master Mode Floor V Boss room, with Livid referencing them in his dialogue before combat begins. This dialogue suggests that Thorn and Livid did not have a particularly close relationship.
- Prior to the eventual release of Catacombs Floor VII, Thorn was the only non-humanoid BOSS within The Catacombs.
- Thorn has hidden dialogue when the party defeats him. These lines never appear in game due to the crowd dialogue overridding it:
- This is it...where shall I go now?
- All those memories will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
- Congratulations humans, you may pass.
