One of us has already fallen? Disgraceful. Lord Cipher will be most displeased. This fourth task, shall not fall. Riddle us this,

I am until proven otherwise

 

I have a head, but no tail,

fear not, for I do leave a trail

 

I may slay a Red Herring in Japan,

or perhaps an immortal man

 

I am at the beginning, 

the middle, is my prize

but I may be at the end, sinning

 

check your bearings,

ignore the herrings

 

I am wielded by the skilled,

but many have I thrilled

 

I hear, I am sometimes a prize

 

What am I?

Well we'll allow you to keep working on it. However orders have come from above to move to the front lines.

We are neither beaten, nor broken. Our exponential growth is far beyond anything you humans can hope to best. Even if by chance we are bested, Hades and Toffee remain before anyone can defeat Lord Cipher.

 

The 5th and Final Task is to decipher the following:

 

WE

 

01000010010010010101011101010110

 

10021021

 

104105122111

Our leader has decided to grant mercy upon yourselves. The 5th task was deemed unfair by the monster council and redacted.

 

Knowledge is power after-all, so behold our sadism. The sentence was a nested Vigenère cipher.

 

Second piece of "information" needed was the exponential growth hint.

 

Second word is in Binary (base 2) Third in Quaternary (base 4) Fourth in Octal (base 8) and finally the 5th word in Hex (base 16)

 

Converting all those to base 26, letter would give you the following sentence

 

WE BIWV BI DERI MADPLD

 

"WE" is the key for the second word, which will be "FEAR"

 

"FEAR" is the pass for the 3rd word which is "WE"

 

"WE" is the pass for the 4th word which is "HAVE"

 

"HAVE" is the pass for the 5th word which is "FAILED"

You have not seen the last of us regardless of Bill's sympathy for you mortals
