The 3rd phase has the Infernal Swineclops have the deadliest offense mode possibly seen. Offense mode in this form allows its punches to chain into each other, including a "temper" slam if enough damage was taken in this phase or if someone used a ranged weapon-type special attack. The 2nd phase has the Infernal Swineclops roaring and beating on its chest, introducing how bad offense mode is to fight if one were to facetank it. Nearing the end of the 1st phase, the Infernal Swineclops begins to attack in offense mode instead of only using it in the Living Staff's Life Blossom, or, when waking up, initially. The 1st phase has it sticking to defense mode, which leaves it quick and susceptible to stuns, unless the player who gained aggro somehow forces offense mode through the aid of the other player(s). The Infernal Swineclops appears to have several phases, just like the Grand Forge Boarrior. The Infernal Swineclops shifts between offense and defense if the boss takes too much damage, is hit by a special attack that breaks shields, "sheds" its skin, in the Living Staff's Life Blossom, if enough time passes, if it cannot touch the player who gained aggro, or if the player who gained aggro attempts to move as far away from the boss. In defense mode, the Infernal Swineclops moves very quickly, the damage taken from any attack is halved barring a special attack, for every special attack used, the boss gains a buff in defense, swiftly jabs at the player who has gained aggro on them, but is susceptible to special attack stuns. Offense mode has the Infernal Swineclops move slowly at a casual-like walk and can leap up into the air that covers a wide area of effect, a ground rage attack that hits up to 6 times in a mere matter of seconds if a special attack was used, and a brutal punch, with its attacks gaining intensity over time, but is vulnerable to more damage and stuns. The Infernal Swineclops has two modes: offense mode and defense mode. Battlemaster Pugna calls out to the Infernal Swineclops, noting of the survivors' many victories prior to combating the final boss.


The Infernal Swineclops shows up in the 12th round after the Rhinocebros are defeated.
