(Cygnus)
A fallen version of Cygnus from an alternate future world. Influenced by the Black Mage's power, she wields dark forces. Aside from the circlet on her head, she feels markedly different from the true Empress Cygnus.
After sending Ereve down to the ground, she waited in her garden for intruders who dared to oppose the Black Mage.
The idea of Empress Cygnus standing on the side of the Black Mage... It could never truly happen, but even imagining it is a terrifying thought.
― Chronicler Ael

Cygnus is the final major boss of the Gate to the Future's Henesys Ruins area. She can be found in the Cygnus Garden deep within the Knight Stronghold. Cygnus drops the  Piece of Darkness and the  Piece of Ruin when defeated; 5 Pieces of Darkness can be exchanged for a Level 140 Empress Armor, and 15 Pieces of Ruin can be exchanged for a Level 140 Empress Weapon, both of which are parts of the Level 140 Empress Set.

Battle Overview

Cygnus can be fought in Easy and Normal mode. You must be in a party of 1 - 6 players in order to fight her, and each player will have a Death Count of 5; if all players reach 0, then the battle will end and everyone will be kicked out. The battle has a time limit of 30 minutes, and a Potion Cooldown of 6 seconds is applied.

Cygnus's most potent skill is the ability to summon Shinsoo, Mihile, Oz, Irena, Eckhart, and Hawkeye to aid her. At first, she only summons one of the Chief Knights at a time, but after each has been defeated once, she summons Awakened versions of all five at once, and they can each summon mobs of their Advanced Knight equivalent. In Easy mode, the Chief Knights have 1,050,000,000 HP and Shinsoo has 400,000,000 HP. In Normal mode, the first version of the Chief Knights all have 2,100,000,000 HP, while the second version have 6,300,000,000 each, and Shinsoo has 2,100,000,000 HP. All of the Knights are immune to Knockback effects. (Also note, if you are doing the [Knight Stronghold] Versus Chief Knights quest for Neinheart, you must defeat the Knights that are summoned first in Normal mode to complete that quest.)

Eckhart summons Advanced Knight A and can use Vampire, Shadow Web, and Lucky Seven. He is vulnerable to Holy.

Oz can inflict the seal condition, summon Advanced Knight B and/or Ifrit, and use Fire Pillar, Meteor Shower, and Oz's Flame Gear. She is vulnerable to Ice.

Hawkeye summons Advanced Knight C and uses Shark Wave and Shockwave. He is vulnerable to Poison. (He is likely the easiest Knight.)

Mihile summons Advanced Knight E, and uses Soul Driver and Soul Blade, the former of which can break through a Bishop's Holy Shell with one strike. He is vulnerable to Lightning. He can also cast Damage Reflect.

Irena summons Advanced Knight E, uses Wind Piercing, Storm Break, and Arrow Rain, and can make herself invincible for a short time. She is vulnerable to Fire.

Shinsoo has surprisingly little offensive ability, but can heal Cygnus and every other enemy in the room quickly, as well as make Cygnus invincible. (If Shinsoo appears, it is recommended she be dealt with first.)

Cygnus herself displays abilities and Skills used by past bosses, including Potion Lock, Damage Reflect, and inflicting the Reverse Control and Zombify conditions. She can also use Potential Lock, which nullifies each player's Hidden Potential for up to 8 seconds.

She also can inflict a condition turning affected victims into Ribbon Pigs. Victims of this condition are rendered helpless and can only run and jump for the duration.

She can create a Tornado that sweeps one enemy off his/her feet, rendering that player unable to move or attack and dealing up to 1,000 damage per second. This effect lasts up to 10 seconds. (A victim of this attack can use potions while held.)

She also has potent AoE attacks, including the ability to create a Phoenix that sets the ground on fire, injuring whoever touches it.

Her most lethal AoE attack is her Dark Genesis, which is similar to that of a Battle Mage's old Dark Genesis, but able to 1hko.

Cygnus will, at random times, banish a player to a special section of the Garden occupied by Advanced Knights. The player cannot leave this room to return to the main battle until all the Knights are defeated. Players might remember a similar strategy from the battle with Arkarium; much like in that battle, this is the best chance a player has to heal.
