Hah hah hah. You're so foolish that you let the light's afterimages conceal the truth from you. Chaos is the necessary evil to usher in a new world. Resistance is futile. Just stay where you are and wait for Ozma's resurrection.

Devastar the Pureblood is one of the three Purebloods of the Black Order and the inheritor of Destructive Berias. During the events of the Black Order Resurgence, he is the orchestrator behind the Cypher disappearances in North Myre and the assault on the Nemesis Citadel in the Exile Mountains.

Lore

History

Born as a man named Joseph, he was once one of the few chosen priests who received the original revelation from Lemidios and fought alongside the Priest Order in the Black Crusade. However, despite receiving the revelation, questions about them lingered in his mind. After witnessing the atrocities made by the Priest Order during and after the war, Joseph grew disillusioned with the Order and wandered listlessly through the Dark Side, questioning his purpose, and ultimately decided to leave the Order.

Some time afterwards, he encountered a Pureblood who possessed the blood of Destructive Berias, and received a revelation from Ozma. With the aid of the individual, Joseph found his true calling, and was reborn as 'Devastar the Pureblood'.

For the years to follow, Devastar operated in the shadows while preparing for Ozma's return and combating the Priest Order. After the events of the Apostolic Crusade, Kazan's seal containing Ozma's soul began to weaken due to Grim Seeker activity in Los Chest. However, the effects were not permanent. In order to fully awaken and resurrect Ozma, the Black Order needed to first fully resurrect Kazan, which required Kazan's remains. Kazan's remains, however, were kept in a hidden sanctum within the Exile Mountains maintained by the Usir Order. To locate the sanctum, the Order needed to perform a ritual which required the sacrifice of someone with 'special' powers and a connection with Kazan.

Under Devastar's guidance, the Black Order resumed kidnapping individuals to increase their ranks using the False Stigma, methodically targeting the Cyphers of the city Grozny from North Myre. Upon sacrificing the Cypher known as Worm Deschamps via a special ritual, Devastar was able to locate the Usir Sanctum, and personally led an assault on the Nemesis Citadel to retrieve the Coffin of Extinction from the Usir Order.

During the assault, through the combined efforts of the Usir Order, the Priest Order, and the Adventurers, Devastar was defeated and killed. However, despite his demise, his mission was a success; as the Dark Knight, Astaroth of Fear, was able to retrieve the Coffin and escape.

Post-mortem, the Priest Order viewed Devastar's corpse as a valuable asset. But due to the toxic nature of his blood, the Order was forced to retreat. During this time, Devastar's blood was taken by the Black Order Revelator Calling Jade to proclaim Devastar's successor through the Ceremony of the Purebloods.

As an Enemy

Devastar makes his appearance in The Exile Mountains as the final boss inside of Extinction's Haven.

Move Set (1st Phase)

  • Laser Shot: Devastar fires out a fan-shaped volley of lasers in front of him.
  • Sphere Laser: Devastar summons a sphere that chases after a player, stops for a second and fires lasers in eight directions before vanishing.
  • Fission Sphere: He'll levitate and summons a dark sphere airborne that tracks down a player continuously firing down lasers at them.
  • Laser Cross: He puts down a laser that spins in a counter-clockwise rotation. Move within the laser's direction while staying in the open spaces as a safety zone as coming in contact with those lasers can quickly drain HP and fatally kills anyone.
  • Chaos Entanglement: He'll create a dark sphere that's able to grab onto players within a certain range. There is a Chaos binds you gauge below depleting and will explode after some time has passed.
  • Berserk:
    • Ward of Chaos: Identical to Prophet Ezra's Fanaticism in the Oculus' Abysmal Sanctum, Devastar gets in the middle section and creates a large pentacle around him with eight points as he prepares for an attack. In order to clear the pattern, all four party members are required to memorize the four light pillars that blink up on those points and must stay on one of each pillar while a Decode the Ward of Chaos time gauge empties. If this is successfully cleared three times in total, Devastar enters his groggy state for only 4 seconds.
  • Transformation: Upon reaching 70% of his HP, Devastar rises up from his groggy time to undergo his transformation for the Phase 2 fight.

TypeDemon.png TypeHuman.png
  • Mace Swing: Devastar at close range does a basic melee attack with his Mace, it can also inflict Stigma of Penance as a chance.
  • Darkness Wall: Identical to the Female Crusader's Saint Wall.png Saint Wall, he'll summon a demonic version of that skill which functions the same way.
  • Stigma of Penance: His own version of the Male Crusader's Hammer of Repentance.png Hammer of Repentance where he'll go airborne slamming down his Mace at party members that'll knock them back. Although the attack itself deals low damage, it actually places a Black Order brand above players' head, putting them in a State of Repentance that makes them unable to hit Devastar until it fades off.
  • Energy Sphere Triangle: Devastar shoot out a forward dark energy blast forward, transforming into a spinning AoE triangle. Getting caught in the attack deals multi-hit damage and can potentially kill anyone.
  • Bouncing Sphere: He creates a large dark sphere and hits it with his Mace that'll track players bouncing around the map.
  • Laser Sphere Launch: When Devastar goes airborne, he'll fire out a dark sphere from his mace onto the ground where it'll create numerous small red circles underneath. If a player touches one or more circle, they'll cast down lightning bolts.
  • Spiral Mace: Devastar rotates three spinning Maces around him in a counterclockwise motion, dealing heavy damage and hitstun on contact.
  • Execution: Devastar moves towards the middle section as he launches a few dark red orbs above spinning around dropping down numerous swords onto the floor, then he'll fire out a large sword that'll create a roomwide AoE explosion. Before he performs the finishing attack, there is a golden orb that turns into a safety zone pillar randomly placed and all party members can enter this to avoid being fatally damaged.
  • Chaos Constellation: Devastar stabs the ground with his Mace to create four portals going from 3,6,9, and 12 o'clock sections of the room, then begins releasing a series of five roomwide dark energy shockwaves afterwards. To avoid being fatally damaged from this, step into either one of the portals as it automatically levitates anyone inside until the pattern is finished.
  • Berserk:
    • Apocalypse: This time, Devastar summons forth six red crystals above him slowly rotating in a clockwise motion. Alongside those are two aircrafts that follow players and shoot lasers downwards, those lasers will bounce back as soon as they hit the ground. Similar to Mecha Gizel's Manus Laser Cannon in Pandemonium War and in order to clear this pattern, all party members must guide the aircrafts to have their laser shots bounce back and break each crystal one at a time, if all six are destroyed before the timer gauge depletes, Devastar enters his groggy state.
If the party fails to succeed, he'll jump upwards, pulls in everyone to immediately drain their HP down to 1, then proceeds to slam down with one final AoE shockwave.

Strategy

  • Devastar is similar to Sarpoza for wielding high HP, defenses, extremely strong attack patterns with AoE advantage and having two phases that involves transforming into a more powerful being.
  • For Phase 1:
    • Most of his general Laser-based attacks can be avoided, but do be careful around specific ones such as Laser Cross due to it's high damage output.
    • If you're caught by Chaos Entanglement, simply run out of it's range before the sphere explodes.
    • Chaos Barrier plays out like Simon Says in which all party members must prioritize in memorizing each of those of four light pillars to clear the pattern successfully in a total of three times.
    • Because of how very short his groggy time is and majority of stronger parties tend to skip his patterns entirely, have the Buffers deploy their respective Awakenings Apocalypse (Male Crusader).png Apocalypse/Final Judgment.png Final Judgment, Crux of Victoria.png Crux of Victoria/Laus di Angelus.png Laus di Angelus, Marionette (Enchantress).png Marionette/Curtain Call.png Curtain Call and burst him down along with the Blue Crucifix buff activated.
  • For Phase 2:
    • Watch for the gold orb rotating around in Execution, that's where it'll land to create a protective barrier before the pattern ends.
    • An easier way to break the red crystals during Apocalypse is to have all party members stay in one spot while either Saints or Seraphs can use their AoE healing skill alongside Light of Divinity.png Light of Divinity to reduce oncoming damage dealt by the Aircraft's lasers.
    • It's actually possible to survive Apocalypse if your party was unable to clear the the pattern in time. You can recover with HP Potions and time your jumps when Devastar lands his attack or the Buffers can use their Healing Wind.png Healing Wind/Regenerative Aria.png Regenerative Aria/First Aid of Love.png First Aid of Love to avoid unnecessary casualties.

  • His real name, Joseph is a common masculine name dating back to Christian origins, also being derived from the Hebrew variant Yosef and has several different spelling forms or meanings depending on the language.
  • During the Chaos Barrier pattern, Devastar's voice lines delivers a shortened Latin version of the Lord's Prayer, though it is to interpret Ozma's will instead.
  • His Phase 1 boss fight plays out similarly to Maplestory's Lotus who also uses lasers and sphere-based energy attacks.
