Fires three spreads of black spit blasts at the player.

It will periodically perform additional attacks while chasing, cycling through them in order: Each of its body segments can only be hit once roughly every second, with all attacks during this period beyond the first dealing massively reduced damage. To be able to use our experience to help the families connect with Antarctica, the event and their loved ones is a great joy for us.Erebus can either spawn from a massive vortex at the end of the Abyssal Armageddon event, or it can be summoned manually by using the Eldritch Worm Food during the event.Įrebus behaves like a massive worm enemy, flying through the air and digging through blocks while trying to ram into the player. “Warren and I have developed a strong relationship with Antarctica since we went to Scott Base on the Antarctica New Zealand Community Engagement Programme in 2016. Mr O’Hara says the pair’s experiences in Antarctica helped inform the design. From the very first creative meetings, there has been collective acknowledgement around the responsibility that comes with this project and I believe we’ll be successfully guided by this gravitas.” Mr Maxwell says, “Like Jason, I am also extremely honoured and excited to be part of this dedicated whānau of incredibly talented creatives who have come together to commemorate both the tragedy and the adventurous spirit of the lives lost on Erebus. Each of the snowflakes is unique being digitally ‘grown’ using an algorithm that uses the name of each of those that lost their lives as a ‘seed’.” “One aspect that I am personally pleased with is the plan to create 257 stainless steel snowflakes, which will be cut out and given to the families, connecting them to the site and providing a symbolic keepsake that can be passed on to others. From the very beginning we set out to create something that celebrates the spirit of the passengers and crew, rather than the event that took their lives,” he says. “The process has been an absolute pleasure – an exemplar of various creative disciplines coming together to collaborate to create something with a multi-layered narrative and experience. Mr O’Hara says it’s a great honour to contribute to the making of a special place of remembrance. Ms Ardern says, “The design reflects the enormity of the tragedy and provides a strong sense of connection and loss.The design has a strong narrative to engage visitors and provides a sanctuary within its walls, evoking the great emptiness experienced for those who lost their lives.” The memorial is linked to Antarctica by form and colour and a listening place, where the sounds of Antarctica resonate from the Ice Wall. The design includes a walkway projecting outward to the horizon above Taurarua Judge’s Bay and reflects its setting through its mirror-like finish. Te Paerangi Ataata - Sky Song by Wellington firm Studio Pacific Architecture, jointly with Mr O’Hara of the School ofDesign and Mr Maxwell of the School of Music and Creative Media Production, was announced as the winning design in a competitive selection process by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Friday. Senior lecturer, designer and artist Jason O’Hara and senior lecturer and musician Warren Maxwell are a part of a team whose design has been selected for the National Erebus Memorial. One of the 257 stainless steel snowflakes.
