Doppelganger

Doppelganger (formerly known as Mirror Self) is the final foe before Ascension, faced during the Augury Rock Mission, and needs to be defeated in order to proceed in the game.

Both Male and Female Doppelganger are wearing a modified version of Warrior Wyvern armor, colored completely jet black. They do not wear a helm, and their faces are aflame, seemingly made of lava.

Characters that go up against their Doppelganger will see the following differences:
 * The Doppelganger equips the same skills as the player has when facing it, which is one of the keys of defeating it. However, Rangers that face the Doppelganger should note that animal companions are NOT duplicated.
 * It has 12 rank in every attribute except for martial weapon masteries where it has 0 rank.
 * It is always armed with a Chaos Axe or a Tormented Spear, and will switch weapons depending on whether the player is in melee range or further away. Note that it can use any melee attack skills with its axe, even those tied to other melee weapon masteries. It uses its spear for both spear and bow attack skills.
 * It formerly also wielded an Eternal Bow and held a black Flame Artifact when wielding its Chaos Axe.

After defeating the Doppelganger, the player acquires 50,000 experience points (only if not already ascended in any of the 3 campaigns) and is teleported to Dragon's Lair. Also, if the Doppelganger is defeated in under 10 minutes, the player is awarded 1,000 additional experience points; this counts as the bonus for the mission (needed for the Protector of Tyria title).
