Rope Weaver
BossRope Weaver is the 4th story boss inside School Grounds, a haunted school campus infested with living curses. It caps a 15-wave act that opens with 8x School Curse, 8x Fabric Curse in wave 1 and scales up to a final wave of 11x School Curse, 14x Fabric Curse, 1x Pelican Curse (Elite), and Rope Weaver itself. Its health pool and aggression sit noticeably above the Basic and Elite spawns that lead up to it.
Enemies in this act can carry the Sprinter, Tank modifiers: Sprinter (trades health for a large burst of movement speed); Tank (trades speed for a larger health pool).
Compared to Act 5's closing boss Cursed Summoner, Rope Weaver is an earlier, more approachable check in School Grounds' Story campaign, though it still requires a full 15-wave clear rather than a solo encounter. Rope Weaver also appears as the 4th fight in School Grounds Expedition's elite gauntlet, a separate encounter from its Story act.

School Grounds Act 4 runs 15 waves total.
