He hurls explosive lava balls that explode small and are easy to run away from in Easy difficulty, but if you're playing on Hard, you will have to use some fancy footwork to avoid his path-predicting aim. His lair has a trap set up that you will have to use to kill him. Go up the elevator, and press the two floorplate buttons on either side of Chthon to lower the lightning trap. You will need to lower both to hit him. Then, go back to the third button, in front of him, and step on it send a powerful lightning bolt surging between the two pillars. Hopefully with Chthon in the middle. It will only take one zap to kill him on Easy difficulty, otherwise you'll need to do it three times (each time you zap him the pillars go back up).

Chthon is the boss of the first episode, Dimension of the Doomed. You can find him in The House of Chthon, which is preceded by The Door to Chthon. Residing in a pool of lava, he emerges once you pick up the episode's rune and begins his attack via explosive lava balls, which on Hard difficulty, are aimed ahead of your movement.

He is immune to player based weapons (via self.takedamage = DAMAGE_NO;), and can be damaged only by electrical prongs residing in the ceiling of his house, the code for which can be found in boss.qc. Switches are located near both of the prongs, and at the center-end of the level is a switch to activate them, electrocuting Chthon. On Easy skill you only need to do this once, but otherwise it will take three jolts. Upon death he sinks back into the lava, and a bridge forms over the sulfurous mass allowing you access to an exit from the arena.

"As the corpse of the monstrous entity Chthon sinks back into the lava whence it rose, you grip the Rune of Earth Magic tightly. Now that you have conquered the Dimension of the Doomed, realm of Earth Magic, you are ready to complete your task."
