Official Blizzard Quote:
Diablo: #DailyDiablo Following the boss "kill moves" tweet last week, what creative ways can you dream up for bosses to end a character's life?
1. You are struck by lightning. Your body glows as it swells and swells. Eventually your body explodes as pieces of you go flying through the air.
# 1xx - azmodan could have seven different kill moves based on the seven deadl sins.
Glutton - your body swells and explodes.
Greed - shoves coins down your mouth until you die
sloth - rips off you legs
envy - splits you in two
lust - well, shoves you into yourself
Wrath - makes ou kill yourself
pride - rips off your head and pits it on a spike.
2. Boss grabs you by the legs and begins to use you as a blunt weapon against other party members. As he does so, bits of your armor and limbs will break off in the process. After a short time, you'll be too flimsy to use as a weapon and he'll discard you.
3. Boss uses a special possession skill to possess either another party member or mercenary just long enough to stab you in the back and deliver the killing blow. For added fun, they can get an ear in the process.
Wyll-
haha I was gonna say this one. complete with the original corpse explosion sound, causing mass damage to anything (minions, party members) in the radius
also............
Several police wagons come and arrest you, putting an end to your murder spree (monthy python and the holy grail lol)
It's a thread where we were asked to use our imagination to come up with some fantastic (used in the literal sense) ideas for boss-kill death animations. Of course there'll be some silly answers. And seeing as no one really seems to read what's gone before, of course there'll be repetitions of "The boss decaptitates (sic) you", "the boss possesses your friends" and "the boss impales you".
All that said my suggestion was entirely serious.
*Single death - Boss roars, and you become entraped in a prison of bone (Reminicent to D2 Diablos "An Evil Force") and begins sinking back into the ground. The further it goes into the ground, the more your bodyt is compressed into the ground untill they tear yourr body into pieces.
*Simultaneous Character deaths 1. - Boss stomps on the ground and a fissure errupts as all dying players fall into an abyss
*Simultaneous Character deaths 2. - Boss roars and all dying players erupt in flames untill burnt to death
*Simultaneous Character deaths 3. - Boss graps all dying characters and flings them high into the air. Short moments later they come crashing down meteor-like into any remaining players.
*Simultaneous Character and Boss death 1. - Boss explodes and sends debris flying around, and some sharp bone-like projectile fatally pierces the hero.
*Simultaneous Character and Boss death 2. - Boss knows he is defeated, grabs player and self-detonates holding hero into itself.
I would also be highly amused by an exploding head followed by the requisite sound effect, "Head Shot!". Could be very rare on one boss but itt would make me laugh every time.
Siegebreaker turns into a pile of hot rocks, heroes could decay like something on the discovery channel.
A weeks worth of decay in 10 seconds - first the rigamortis, then bloating, then maggots, mould etc just like watching a big balloon deflate on the ground. And chuck in some poison clouds for tradition.
