Scorching Blazehunter
When first entering the arena, it can be seen sleeping in the center of the arena on the ceiling with the other path open. If you pass it while it's asleep, the two paths will close from flaming goop. Then the creature will awake and leap to the right side and knock back the player. It will then roar in the air, and the battle begins.

Attacks

 * Flamethrower: It will go to a side of the arena and release a trail of bright orange acid that will cover 95% of the arena. The only part that isn't covered will be the area under it.
 * Dragon's Flare: Shoots 4 fireballs in the player's most recent locations. Deals 2 masks + Afterburn for 4 seconds.
 * Meteor Slam: Slams into the right, the center, and then the left of the arena. Deals 3 masks upon impact. After the slams, falling rocks will appear. 2 rocks each smash. Deals 1 mask on rock impact. It will only do this attack if at 50% of it's HP.
 * Flaming Swoop: Will rush under and swipe the player with it's sharp jaws. Once it's passed, it will leave a bright orange trail of fire that will stay for 1.5 seconds. If touched, it will deal no masks, but gives Afterburn for 6 seconds and it will decrease movement by 20% until it disappears.
 * Dodge: Will hover higher to dodge an attack.
 * Parry: If attacked and having nowhere else to dodge, it will block with it's hard-shell abdomen and counter by pecking with it's jaws. Deals 1 mask.

After the battle with the Scorching Blazehunter and entering the Temple of the Serpent to collect the third Seal, a lone figure waits in the empty hallway. The merchant stands there staring at Scorpion with the intent to battle.
