Pax the Bearded

Description
Pax the Bearded is the first and last boss you must fight in the game. Pax is based off of a Bearded Vulture and is 30 times larger than the player character.

Story
Pax travels the world in search for her unborn son.

Location
Pax is found sleeping in a den near the start of the game. You must go through the tutorial area before reaching her. The den is large, and has giant-bird-sized camping gear. Nearby Sugar Glider NPCs do not like the Vulture and encourage you to "take care of" her.

First Encounter
Entering the den will wake Pax, but that does not initiate the fight. The only way to initiate it is to attack her.

Phase One
The first phase is very easy, it only takes 3 hits to lower her health down to 50%, out of a total of 6 hits to kill. She has 2 moves in this phase: Pax stays on the ground for the majority of this phase.
 * Ground Slam Shock Wave
 * Bone Vomit Projectile

Phase Two
This is where things get kicked up a notch. Pax mainly stays in the air for this portion. Acorns will drop from the trees. You must climb rocks to reach Pax's height, then knock her to the ground by throwing acorns at her. This does not lower her health.

Once on the ground, roll into her to deal damage. This will automatically make Pax fly back into the air. While in the air, she uses 2 attacks. After defeating this boss will give you the Sugary Gate Key, a Deus Orb, and initiate the golden crack in the sky cut scene to play.
 * Air to Ground Slam Shock Wave
 * Airborne Bone Vomit Projectile
 * Carcass Crawl (A golden light will shine from the bird's mouth, then a large dead animal made of light will appear on the ground. Pax will fly down to it, peck at it, and maggots will swarm out in random and zig-zagging directions. Dodge them to avoid taking damage.)
