The Hovering Inferno is the final and only boss of Incendium. Shown wearing a Netherite helmet and surrounded by 4 identical banners, similar to shields, that cycle around himself, the Hovering Inferno is a powerful entity who deserves its final boss title.
Location[edit]
It can be summoned and re-summoned by throwing a Nether star on the lectern in the middle of any Infernal altar, which can be found in the Infernal dunes biomes.
Fight[edit]
The Hovering Inferno fight is inspired by bullet hell games like Touhou. The Hovering Inferno has more heatlh than the Ender Dragon or Wither boss, without counting its invincibility phase, and should be considered has one of the most difficult vanilla-like boss, while staying an actually winnable and fair fight.
Phase 1[edit]
Phase 1 consists of mainly attacks done by the Hovering Inferno, moving around random spots in the arena and stopping before launching its attacks. Those include shooting skulker bullets, fireballs, fire and fireworks, in wavy but precise patterns around himself. He also has the ability to summon Infernal Minions, Evoker fangs and Desert blazes in the arena. Once the Hovering Inferno's health is depleted, the Hovering Inferno moves to the second phase.
Phase 2[edit]
Upon the Hovering Inferno's revival, a note block remix of the song called "Border of Life" from Touhou : Perfect Cherry Blossom begins to play while the Hovering Inferno teleports to the middle of the arena. During this phase, the Hovering Inferno slowly loses health and is invulnerable to attacks by the player. The player needs to survive to win by dodging the two lasers coming from the Hovering Inferno, both going clock-wise with one staying at feet-height of the player and the other passing just over the player's head, forcing you to sneak to dodge it, while some Skulker Bullets with the glowing effect are shot by the Hovering Inferno.

History[edit]
The Hovering Inferno is directly inspired by MOB D from the Minecon Earth 2017 Mob vote, also called Wildfire.
Also made available in a separate boss fight Datapack titled The Hovering Inferno ~ Blaze Boss Battle, this time summoneable by throwing a Nether star at a Blaze in the Overworld.
"This boss battle was largely inspired by Touhou bosses, which is where I got the 'spell card' mechanic, as well as the bullet hell-type attacks which are used a few times."
This was further confirmed when the Hovering Inferno final attack was changed and now plays the song called "Border of Life" from Touhou : Perfect Cherry Blossom during it.
