Doppelganger

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

Characters that go up against their Doppelganger will see the following differences: The Doppelganger equips the same skills the player equips when facing it, which is one of the keys of defeating it. It has 12 rank in every attribute except for Swordsmanship, Axe Mastery, and Hammer Mastery. It is always armed with an Eternal Bow or a Flame Artifact (dyed black) and a Chaos Axe, all of Max damage, and will switch weapons if the player it is facing comes in melee range or moves away again. It has also been observed wielding a Tormented Spear.

After defeating the Doppelganger, the player acquires 50,000 experience points and is teleported to Dragon's Lair. Also, if the Doppelganger is defeated in under 10 minutes, the player is awarded 1000 additional experience points; this counts as the bonus for the mission (needed for the Protector of Tyria title).

Rangers that face the Doppelganger should note that animal companions are NOT duplicated.
