The Cursed Thorn is a minor antagonist in Geometry Dash. It is a Spikeball, which only appears in the final level of the first floor of The Tower as a boss near the end of the level.
Appearance[]
The Cursed Thorn is an entity with a spikeball-like body, green eyes, and a mouth.
Biography[]
Once the player enters a cave near the end of the level, the ground begins to shake. A monster appears and starts to grow larger and larger, eventually destroying the cave and creating the Cursed Thorn. It starts attacking the player by shooting out fireballs, including green ones that can be used to shoot back at it. As the fight progresses, it becomes tougher and tougher, with the fireballs moving faster. Eventually, the Thorn gains the ability to slam the ground, creating spikes that move at a fast pace and are quite hard to dodge.
Once the Thorn has been hit enough times, with its healthbar being completely drained, it starts exploding, and afterwards falls, allowing the player to complete the level and collect the coins they have earned.
Trivia[]
- The boss became infamous among many players due to its absurdly large amount of health and how long it lasts.
- A common bug is for the boss to randomly stop attacking the player and float around indefinitely, thus soft-locking the game and forcing the player to restart.
