Catacombs Floor III

Catacombs Floor III is the third floor of The Catacombs, with The Professor as its boss. You need Catacombs level 5 to enter.¹

Boss fight. The Professor has three phases.²

• Phase 1: he hides behind a barrier while four Guardians fight for him. The Healthy Guardian can heal all the others to full unless you land 10 hits on it first; the Chaos Guardian discharges on anyone close; the Laser Guardian fires a long focus laser; the Reinforced Guardian throws TNT. A killed Guardian comes back after 10 seconds with 80% health, so they have to fall close together. Rogue Guardians also fly around firing lasers.
• Phase 2: the Professor fights himself until he is down to 25% health.
• Phase 3: he turns into a Guardian, uses the Guardians' heal, TNT and laser attacks, and floods the arena if the fight drags on.²

Floor rules. From this floor players no longer revive on their own, Trap Rooms start to appear and the fairies in the Fairy Room respawn at most 4 times.³ Chests: Wood, Gold and Diamond for clearing, Emerald at A, Obsidian at S.⁴

Score. The Speed score starts dropping after 10 minutes, and 50% of the floor's secrets gives the full secret part of the Exploration score.⁵

The harder version of this floor is Master Mode Catacombs Floor III.
