 ===How to Fight===
 This fight is all about reaction time. Try to stay on the move often to avoid taking damage from the chasers, and when using a ranged weapon try to stay at least 1 tile away from the Hierophant so that it won't use its large AoE burst. When it begins a rapid attack, try not to panic. This is the only attack the Hierophant has that I'd consider difficult to deal with, and it's been the bane of many a cocky miner. Remain calm and pay close attention to where the tiles are spawning, and you should be okay.
-Note that unlike most megafauna, this one will almost never bring you from full health to dead right away - there are a lot of attacks, and some of them can be hard to dodge, but they deal fairly low damage. A few stable legion cores makes this fight considerably easier.

-When the Hierophant is defeated, it will let out one final huge expanding burst attack that will fill about half the arena. After this, the Hierophant will fall to the ground as an item, allowing you to loot and wield it as the '''Hierophant's Club''' [[File:Hierophantsclub.gif]].

After this, the Hierophant will fall to the ground as an item, allowing you to loot and wield it as the '''Hierophant's Club''' [[File:Hierophantsclub.gif]]. <br> You will be able to perform several attacks very similar to the one performed by the Hierophant while wielding it. Clicking on another mob will send a Chaser attack after it. Clicking the mob again will create a Cross Blast.  You can create a Cross Blast by clicking any tile that is out of range. Clicking a tile within melee range will create a 3x3 AoE burst centered around your character. The close range burst has a much shorter cooldown and can be spammed rapidly, making it extremely useful for mining and clearing out paths. It can also be used to help do a bit of extra damage against the other Megafauna, or for traitorous shenanigans back up on the station. It also comes with a beacon that can be detached, allowing you to teleport yourself and anyone standing next to you back to the detached beacon from any location.

+Normally, it chases its target trying to bite it. Whenever possible, it will also breathe fire in the three cardinal directions, dealing 20 burn damage and igniting whoever walks into the trail. It will send one trail directly at you and two more on either side of you, requiring a bit of tact to dodge it.<br>
 It's advisable to carry a fire extinguisher when fighting a drake, in case you can't avoid one of these.
-Occasionally, the drake will cause a rain of fire: before the fireballs land, the landing points are marked; anything not marked won't be affected, although flying debris can still hit non-targeted zones.
+The drake will also sometimes take flight and swoop down on a target, creating pooling lava below it and marking a 3x3 area before crushing anyone left inside, dealing 75 brute damage and gibbing unconscious targets. It will also send a standard firebreath attack at you as soon as it lands. The best way to deal with this attack is to stay on the move and keep your distance as it lands so that you have time to dodge the incoming fire.
-The drake will also rarely take flight and swoop down on a target, marking a 3x3 area before crushing anyone left inside, dealing 75 brute damage and gibbing unconscious targets.
+As the drake gets damaged, swoop attacks will become more common, and the drake will begin using an additional attack.<br>
+If the drake falls below 50% health, it will use a special attack where it swoops up high and traps the target in a small arena of fire. One tile in the arena will be a safe spot, marked with a green rune. The rest of the tiles will turn into lava after a moment. This process will repeat 3 times before the attack ends. The drake will swoop back down and attempt to crush you in the standard 3x3 ring in the process.

 ===How to Fight===
-Easiest boss, don't get hit by any of his swoops and meteors which are pretty easy to dodge, just keep moving away from him while not standing horizontal with him so his flame attack doesn't hit you. Keep in mind all enemies in ss13 have a one tile hitbox, so you need to hit in a weird spot sometimes, as long as you aim your cursor farther than the actual drake, the shot will stop when it hits it. What you need to watch out for is the storms, if the ash drake is an asshole and triple swoops 10000 times and you can't run, you're shit out of luck, I'd recommend just running down a hallway as fast as possible, and when you don't think the drake is following pull out your shelter. Bring a fire extinguisher along, because trying to stop, drop, and roll is suicide; he'll either swoop on you or hit you a bunch with the firespam attack, both essentially being an instant kill.
+Take your time and don't get greedy. Keep your distance so that you can more easily react to the incoming firebreath, coming in for shots in between the drakes attacks. Take only 1 or 2 shots at a time at the drake before you back up to prepare to dodge the incoming attack.  Keep your distance when the drake is trying to crush you from up high so that you can avoid the incoming fire. Keep your cool and stay focused during the fire arena attack, messing this attack up is extremely difficult to recover from. Bringing the H.E.C.K. suit from Bubblegum will make this fight somewhat easier, making it much less punishing if you are hit with a fire attack.  The drake will not immediately breathe fire at you when it lands from the fire arena attack, giving you a window to get a couple quick hits in. Still be prepared to retreat though, its next attack will come out pretty quickly after landing. Unless you are very robust and experienced, do not attempt this fight without several regenerative cores.
