The Absolution is the personal Starship of Lord Brevon, being the Mid-Boss of Battle Glacier and the Phase 1 Final Boss of Final Dreadnought 4. It also appears as a Torque exclusive End-Boss in Jade Creek, replacing Team Lilac's Boss Fight with Serpentine and his Gunship.
Appearance[]
The Absolution is a starship that appears to resemble a frog-like creature, as its landing gear doubles as legs. It is equipped with insect-like wings for flight and a single cannon under the bow for combat. From the back view, the Absolution has 6 engines, 2 large ones and 4 small ones.
History[]
Freedom Planet[]
The Absolution is first seen during the Opening Cutscene of Freedom Planet, where it is seen flying towards the Kingdom of Shuigang, breaking through the floors of the Palace and deploying Shade Elites to attack the Soldiers.
The Absolution is later seen in Jade Creek with Syntax, who had just captured Torque. If playing as Torque, who had been released from quarantine the Royal Palace of Shang Tu, then a brief battle between him and the ship ensues and despite Torque becoming the victor, he is still somehow captured and carried away by Syntax (who is likely involved in said capture). As both Syntax and the Absolution fly away with their prisoner, Team Lilac attempt to give chase, only to be ambushed by Serpentine and his Gunship. The Absolution can be seen in the background, flying away as the fight with Serpentine starts.
Later on, the Absolution is seen in the Snowfields, where it attempts to stop Team Lilac from entering the Dreadnought's Refueling Station. After it is heavily damaged, it flies away and retreats into the Dreadnought, where it is repaired and used by Brevon in the Final Battle against Team Lilac. However, it was damaged once more, and it retreats again after Brevon emerges and equips his Power Suit to continue the fight. After the Final Battle and Brevon's defeat at the hands of Team Lilac, the Absolution can be seen one last time, flying out of the doomed Dreadnought and escaping from Avalice.
Behavior[]
Before a Scene or Boss Battle, the Absolution will quickly zoom across the background. In the first part of Battle Glacier, the Absolution will attempt to shoot lasers off-screen at the Player. At the start of the Boss Fight, it will fly across the background before landing in the foreground and catching Players off guard if they're not cautious. Most of the Absolution's attacks involve flying, jumping and using it's main gun.
In Battle Glacier, the Player can make use of Jump Springs to avoid certain attacks, specifically the Absolution's Air Slam attack. There are also Dirt Spots, so Milla can Puppy Dig for Fire Shield Crystals to provide her with extra protection. In Final Dreadnought 4, The Absolution has 2 new attacks, and its health is measured by a green column near the Kingdom Stone. It also has slightly less health than Brevon's Power Suit, but loses one bar when taking damage. Once defeated, the Absolution will spawn Life Petals, deploy Brevon's Power Suit, then flies away.
Attacks[]
- Landing Slam: After flying across the background, the Absolution will land on the ground so hard, it will create shockwaves on the ground with it's feet. There will even be a brief slow motion moment added as a dramatic effect.
- Laser Cannon: The Absolution charges it's main gun and fires four shots at the Player while jumping in their direction. The shots only travel forward, so it is recommended for the Player to stay behind the Absolution during this attack.
- Ram Attack: After flying away and across the background, the Absolution will attempt to ram the Player at high speed, Stunlocking them if it hits.
- Machine-Gun: Exclusive to Battle Glacier. The Absolution will move slowly move across the air while firing its Machine-Gun, sweeping the ground with a barrage of bullets that can be blocked by Milla's Barrier Shield.
- Acid Cannon: Exclusive to Final Dreadnought 4. The Absolution fires multiple shots in the same way as the Machine-Gun. Each acid shot will split in 2 upon hitting the ground, so caution while using Milla's Shield is recommended.
- Acid Missiles: Exclusive to Final Dreadnought 4. Used at the same time as the Acid Cannon, the Absolution, will launch multiple missiles loaded with acid. Each missile will trace the Player's position before launching at them, spreading acid if they hit them or the wall.
Trivia[]
- The Absolution may possibly take it's name from the ship that broadcasts "Toonami", a popular long running animated programming block aired on Cartoon Network. [1]
