How its AI decides verified

Its attack choices change at 70% of its HP: some attacks unlock, get likelier or are forced below those points.
It picks attacks by how far you are, with cut-offs at 4 m, 5 m, 8 m, 15 m, 20 m.
It chooses among 24 attack routines; 14 have a cooldown (5–40 s).

Read from the game's AI script for this boss. Which animation each routine plays isn't named yet.
