'''{{HolidayText|Krampus}}''' was an [[Events|event]] boss fight that was created for the Holiday 2022 [[Events|event]] in Dungeon Quest. It was released on 2022-12-25 and was removed on 2023-02-11. Players who are level 195 or higher could fight the boss, and was only available on {{Nightmare}} [[difficulty]]. This fight was not available in {{HC}} mode because this event used the [[Boss Raids#Lives|lives mechanic]] instead. Unlike other event dungeons, players could use their own gear and skill points here. The recommended health for this fight was around 2.1B HP, although larger groups might find 4.2B HP to be better due to the potential for attacks to stack. Players had 7 minutes to complete the Krampus fight. For the fight to begin, everyone was required to press “READY” or waited 30 seconds to pass, in which case the fight would automatically start, regardless of the "READY" status of players. All players in the [[Boss Raids|raid]] would be given five seconds.

The main theme was {{sound|Jingle Bells (Rock 1) soundtrack}} ([https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dungeonquestroblox/images/1/11/Jingle_Bells_%28Rock_1%29_soundtrack.ogg raw]) [[Soundtracks#Event Dungeons Track List|Jingle Bells (Rock 1)]].


==Boss==
[[File:Krampus.jpg|thumb|right|300x300px|Krampus]]
'''Krampus''' was the only boss that could appear. Once the battle started, he would spawn at the [[Excalibur Quest|Excalibur]] shrine, destroying most objects near it within the arena. He had a base health of 265.82Q, with this amount increasing by 30% for each additional player that joined the party. Each attack dealt roughly between 850M and 1.05B HP. Krampus had a total of six moves throughout the fight (including the Anti-Cheat Ability).

===Attacks ===
'''Tri-Strike:''' The first attack in the cycle consisted of Krampus targeting a random player, then fires three beams at a roughly 35° arc, dealing 8x the normal damage.

'''Constant Beam Attack:''' The second attack in the cycle consisted of Krampus shooting out four straight red beams at three different players, one by one similar to the [[The Underworld#Bosses|Demonic Overgrowth]]. This attack would stun players hit for three seconds and dealt 1.5x normal damage.

'''Blizzard and Poison Circles:''' Four stone walls would appear around Krampus which slowly spun counterclockwise. If any player wasn’t in the wall's radius, then the player would be dealt with constant damage up to 800-900M damage. Beware that before the blizzard attack begins, a bunch of green circles would appear dealing poison damage to whoever made contact with it. 

'''Explosive Orbs:''' At the end of the "Blizzard Attack", Krampus will then release orbs coming out from him and bounce back to the boss when they reach the edge of the field with a similar fashion of [[Northern Lands#Bosses|{{RedOdin}}]]. If touched, it would deal 2x normal damage and inflict {{AntiHealing}} for one second to all players.

'''Circular Attack:''' Krampus would create beams that circle around the arena dealing 1.5x normal damage. After that, the cycle repeats. The beams leave out safe spots, a couple near the upgrade area and a couple to the right of Krampus by the houses. 

'''Anti-cheat:''' If a player attempted to "cheat" by using [[Ghostly Rampage]] or any other way to climb up one of the houses, after Krampus spawned, many orange circles would appear on the player, dealing damage until the player died or got off the house.

==Drops==
At the end of a successful raid, players had a chance to drop one of three [[cosmetics]]. In addition to this, EXP and about 10-15 {{Snowflake}} were guaranteed. Snowflakes is an event currency that was used to purchase Holiday themed cosmetics from the [[Snowflake Shop|{{HolidayText|Snowflake Shop}}]].
===Cosmetic Drops===
Players had a low, UNDISCLOSED <!--(do not ask us about this, we do not know) !-->chance to receive a cosmetic drop. There was one weapon, one armor, and one title that could drop. Each cosmetic dropped sequentially, those were {{Legendary|Krampus Coal Axe}} weapon, {{Legendary|Krampus}} armor and lastly, {{Legendary|Holiday Savior}} title.

==Trivia==
*This was the second limited time boss in Dungeon Quest after [[Pumpkin King|{{HalloweenText|Pumpkin King}}]].
*This [[Events|event]] used the same format as [[Boss Raids]], with the major differences consisting of the 7-minute timer and the normal Dungeon player cap of 40 rather than the [[Boss Raids]] player cap of 10.
* The arena used the Holiday version of Lobby 1, which was used as the main lobby for the Holiday events in 2019, but unlike [[Pumpkin King|{{HalloweenText|Pumpkin King}}]], the boss used a unique [[Soundtracks|soundtrack]] and the Holiday lobby was also used as a main lobby.
*When Krampus was first released, there was a glitch where none of the players' gears from [[Northern Lands]] or [[Gilded Skies]] would load into the [[Events|event]] and players were unable to move. This was fixed not too long after its release.
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krampus Krampus] is based on folklore where children who misbehave during [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas Christmas], would be punished by him and taken to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld underworld]. According to a legend, he is also the son of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(mythological_being) Norse God, Hel].
*The icon on the badge received for defeating Krampus was a runner-up for a Christmas logo contest. It was also used as the game's thumbnail before being changed to the actual contest winner three days after release.
*The loading screen didn't appear when a player attempted to start the dungeon in [[Lobby 2]]. Instead a white screen was present and then a default Roblox loading screen appeared, similar to the [[Ready Player Two|Glitch Dungeon]] from [[Ready Player Two]]. This was likely an oversight.
*This dungeon is still in the game files. The players with older devices or exploits can still play this.
