Merasmus er RED Soldier sin tidligere romkamerat og eier av Bombinomicon. I Bombinomicon tegneserien, når RED Demoman var syv år gammel, oppdaget han Merasmus mens han søkte arbeid. Til slutt, mistet Demoman sitt vestre øye til boken, og Merasmus ble tvunget til å fjerne det. Årevis senere, ble magikerens stormende forhold til RED Soldier avslørt, og han påkalte MONOCULUS som RED selskapet skulle kjempe mot. Under eventene i Soldier Needs a Home, sparket Merasmus Soldier ut av slottet hans fordi han var en plage. Når han senere fant ut at Soldier hadde rotet til hjemmet hans og kastet han ut, tok han en spøkelses-aktig form og bestemte seg for å angripe Soldier sitt lag.
Merasmus (stilisert som MERASMUS!) dukker opp i spillet som en boss spillerene må bekjempe i Ghost Fort.
Innhold
Atferd
Merasmus dukker opp i Ghost Fort's Kontrollpunkt etter noen minutter når det er minst 10 spillere som spiller på serveren. Spillerene har da 1 minutt og 30 sekunder til å bekjempe Merasmus før han forlater. Mens han er i live, vil kontrollpunktet tilbakestilles til nøytralt eierskap, og være umulig å kapre. Merasmus sin helse vises i en linje i midten av skjermen.
When Merasmus spawns, he pushes all nearby opponents away and destroys all stickybombs around him, also knocking back all stickybombs he comes in contact with. Merasmus has a wide variety of attacks, and can teleport throughout the map on random intervals. Merasmus can melee players with his staff, roll bombs at them, and perform a magic attack which sets selected targets on fire and launches them skyward. Merasmus can also use an attack far less often than his other attacks, in which he hovers over the control point and uses the Bombinomicon to spread bombs a wide range around the control point. Whenever Merasmus is hovering in the air while performing this attack, all damage dealt to him will be critical hits.
Every time Merasmus teleports to another location on the map, the Bombinomicon will choose a few players and transform their heads into bombs. Players cannot attack after being turned into bombs and are stuck in their humiliation pose until the bomb detonates, but their speed is also boosted. The screen and the Bombinomicon will instruct the player to find Merasmus and run into him. If the player reaches Merasmus with the bomb, it will stun him, stopping him in his tracks, and the player who transported the bomb will become invulnerable, speed boosted, and crit boosted for a short time. If the player fails to reach Merasmus in time, the bomb will detonate, damaging the player and surrounding members of the opposing team by 100 HP. If the player kills anyone, those show up on the killfeed and grant the player a point. At all times while stunned, all damage Merasmus takes will be critical hits.
At around 50% and less than 10% health, the boss health bar will turn green as Merasmus teleports away and disguises himself as a random prop, while other props are scattered about the map to throw players off. These props will bleed green liquid when attacked, distinguishing them from background elements. If an incorrect prop is destroyed, it will drop a large Halloween pumpkin, which any player can collect. If the correct prop is destroyed, Merasmus will reappear and may be stunned for a short period of time, with the player who destroyed the prop always given limited invulnerability, speed boost and crit boost.
Upon Merasmus' defeat, he will disappear and be replaced by the Bombinomicon. Players can use it to teleport to Skull Island. The portal to Skull Island is only open for a few seconds. When the players reach the island, they can climb the hill and collect the Skull Island Topper in the cage. Entering the cage will transport players back to the main field. Defeating Merasmus will award the Necromannchievement Wizards Never Prosper, while collecting the Skull Island Topper will award A Lovely Vacation Spot .
Strategy
A simple strategy is to use the Sniper's Huntsman which will deal a total maximum of 1080 damage upon headshot to Merasmus while he is stunned or spreading bombs across the map. A fully charged Sniper Rifle will do 1350 damage with a fully charged headshot, but will take longer to charge than the Huntsman, making it inconvenient because of Merasmus's teleportation. The player will be safe from the bombs that Merasmus spreads if the player is far away from Merasmus while still being able to attack him with the Huntsman or any other Sniper Rifle.
