Phase 1
The Professor will be floating in an encaged area in the middle of the arena where players will not be able to attack him. They must first defeat all of his Guardians which spawn in aquariums around him. Once the players have killed all of the Guardians, The Professor will move on to his second phase.
If the players aren't fast enough in killing all of the Guardians, all already dead Guardians will be revived after 10 seconds.
The Reinforced Guardian will start spawning Rogue Guardians throughout the fight which attack the players by flying around and shooting lasers at them. If the players do not kill them, they will turn into Elder Rogue Guardians which deal more damage.
Phase 2
The Professor's barrier is removed and he starts attacking the players. Once the players bring The Professor down to 25% of his HP (750k 
Health in Normal Mode and 150M Health in Master Mode) he will move onto his third phase.
Phase 3
The Professor absorbs the Guardians from phase 1 and becomes a guardian himself. He will spawn the smaller Rogue Guardians and also use the abilities of the Guardians from phase 1. If the players don't kill him fast enough, the arena will start flooding and boats will spawn. After The Professor is killed, Necron appears in chat.
Master Mode Changes
- The Professor has 600M Health.
- The Professor's Guardians have 125M Health and the Reinforced Guardian has 150M Health
- Rogue Guardians are always Elder.
- The Healthy Guardian cannot be damaged while it is performing Giga Heal
- Guardians are no longer revived in 10 seconds, but instead in 7.
- If Guardians are revived, they regain 90% HP back instead of 80%.
