Boss file · Sands of Time
FluorescentLava
A dragon pursuing the Apple Clock.
Lore
FluorescentLava stops the voyagers in the Sands of Time, claiming to own the Apple Clock. He says he has followed the group for some time, believes the clock was stolen from his lair, and asks to talk before resorting to force.
According to FluorescentLava, the Apple Clock is unique: even he cannot make another. He remembers its shape well. A bottle is not round enough, a glowing orb is not an apple, and having apple in a name does not necessarily make something a clock.
Mechanics
Role
Main-story boss · Clock pursuit and roadblock clearing
Battle objective: break the wooden stumps blocking the route before FluorescentLava takes the Apple Clock; losing the clock ends the attempt in failure.
The in-game hint lists two advance triggers: switching, or zombies approaching. Each advance reduces the room available to clear the stumps.
Seeds arrive on a conveyor. FluorescentLava’s battle lines refer to slowing the seed supply; the delivery interval and slowdown magnitude have no verified numerical values yet.
The 0.17r supply configurations include Alloysuckle, Honey Bamboo, Wall-nut, and CocoBottle Shine. Depending on the configuration, Peashooter, Magnet-shroom, or Power Peony is also available; these are not one combined card pool.
Pursuit and roadblock conditions
The in-game hint identifies wooden stumps as the targets to break before the dragon takes the clock. The failure message specifically names the loss of the Apple Clock; stump durability must not be presented as FluorescentLava’s body HP.
The hint lists switching and approaching zombies as advance triggers, but gives no proximity threshold, step distance, or resolution order when both occur together. These sources do not establish a fixed countdown model.
