Necron is the of The Catacombs in The Catacombs - Floor VII and is the right-hand of the Wither King. He killed The Professor by smiting him to death.

Lore
Right-hand of the Wither King. Inherited the Catacombs eons ago. Never defeated, feared by anything living AND dead.

Boss Fight
Necron has and 100 - 300  (100 during Phase 1, 200 during Phase 2, does not take damage during Phase 3, and 300 during Phase 4). He has a shield surrounding him which protects him from all attacks. When he is brought under the laser in phase 1, crushed in phase 2, or in phase 4, he loses the shield.

Necron has several attacks.
 * The most common is a barrage of wither skulls launched from each of his 3 heads. They do high damage and are fired rapidly, as well as dealing large quantities of True Knockback. When enraged, they fire faster.
 * In phases 2 (when enraged), 3, and 4, he enters a frenzy where explosions are centered on him, dealing extremely high amounts of damage to any player who gets close.
 * When enraged and targeting a player, he can rarely use Shadow Wave and Shadow Explosion abilities. These deal low damage but push the player away.
 * Occasionally he will spawn 2 groups of minion mobs to fight players. In phases 1 and 2, he can summon Wither Miners. In phase 4, he summons the stronger Necron's Apostles instead.

In all parts of Necron's fight, lava damages the player for 20% of their max health, as well as launching them upwards.

Phase 1
Necron's fight begins in a factory-like arena. Once the fight begins, large numbers of Wither Miners and Guards appear in the arena. Players must retrieve 2 Energy Crystals from high ledges and place them on the podiums at the sides of the arena. This activates a laser at the back of the arena, which Necron must be lured into. Within the laser, Necron loses all and becomes vulnerable for a short time. The next phase begins when Necron reaches 75% health.

Phase 2
The factory's second layer is exposed. This layer comprises a large hall; a main platform with 4 diorite crushers, an outer ring with control pads for the crushers in the corner, and a ring of lava in between. Wither Miners and Withermancers cover the area, with Wither Guards located on raised platforms. 1 Shadow Assassin guards each control pad.

Standing on the control pads raises and lowers the corresponding crusher (except the red crusher, which is broken). When Necron is crushed underneath one of them, he will be stunned and become vulnerable for 10 seconds. After this, he will enter an enraged state.

The next phase will begin when Necron has been crushed under 3 pillars (purple, green and yellow), or if he reaches 50% health first.

Phase 3
Necron will destroy the broken red crusher with a beam, breaking the red pad below and revealing the 3rd layer. Players must jump down into the 3rd layer; the beam can target players, dealing damage and knockback. After a short while, Necron will follow the players in at a slow and steady pace.

The 3rd layer comprises 4 sections with 3 gates between them. Within each section, there are 4 Terminals, 2 levers and 1 device which must all be completed, except the 2nd section which has 5 terminals. These terminals are located on the walls, with lava on the floor and floating platforms connecting them. After everything is completed within one section, there is a 5 second delay before the gate is opened and players can proceed to the next section.

In this stage, Necron cannot be harmed and his frenzy deals extremely high damage. After Necron passes a section, it starts to destroy itself with explosions which harm any remaining players. Dealing damage to Necron slows him down.

Phase 4
After completing the third phase's puzzles, the core entrance opens, and Necron will then bring the players to the bottom of the factory with a platform surrounded by a ring of lava. Once the players are released, Necron's health will drop to 25% and he will become vulnerable permanently.

Upon reaching 18% health, he will fly to the center platform and begin a frenzy attack which deals even higher amounts of damage. The radius of this frenzy increases over time and decreases with damage dealt. When it reaches 0, Necron will destroy a section of the outer ring and then resume attacking the players. This takes 10 seconds. This repeats at health.

The fight finishes when Necron reaches 0 health.

Trivia

 * Necron appears to be vain or not willing to fight, like the other bosses.
 * The room of Necron's boss fight used to be Maxor's.
 * Some messages shows Maxor's Focus Laser instead of Necron's.
 * In the API, deaths to Necron are shown as deaths to Maxor.
 * If Necron is moving upwards and within the crusher as it moves upwards, it is possible to trigger a crush. This is known as an "up-crush".
 * If the player activated the ability of Spider's Boots, Tarantula Boots or Spirit Boots at the right time when entering the boss room, they would gain permanent creative flight. This flight would wear off on death. This has since been patched.
 * The Shadow Assassins in the 2nd phase of the boss fight only grant 6 base XP, unlike all other Shadow Assassins which grant 115-165 XP.
 * If a player in the 4th section of the 3rd phase uses the Jerry-chine Gun or other methods to jump over the wall and return to the 1st section, they will instantly die.
 * One of his quotes "YOU MERELY ADOPTED THE CATACOMBS, I WAS MOLDED BY THEM!" is a reference from the film The Dark Knight Rises.
 * This line is also used by Paul when he is a candidate for the mayor election.
 * Necron and Dante are the only mobs who can destroy constructions.
 * Necron's dialogue line "NOT JUST YOUR VILLAGE, BUT THE WHOLE WORLD WILL END!" implies there being more Villages in the SkyBlock universe than just the Hub Village.
 * This line is also similar to the dialogue line of Dante just before he was defeated in The Uprising saying "THE WORLD WILL END", showing that Necron and Dante are similar in many ways.
 * Examples of other villages include the Dwarven Village and the Desert Settlement.
 * Necron is tied with the Deathmite for being the enemy with the 2nd highest . The highest is Dante.
