Health phases
Attacks
From the start
Volley
Telegraph: No telegraph
A volley of projectiles aimed your way.
How to dodge: No telegraph: 14 projectiles in a ring. Slip through the gaps or stay far away.
Nova
Telegraph: Circle around it
A shockwave that bursts around the enemy.
How to dodge: Get more than 230 px away from it.
Vortex
Telegraph: Circle on the ground
Pulls you to the center, then detonates.
How to dodge: The vortex pulls harder and harder: run outward right away.
Barrage
Telegraph: Circles in sequence
A rain of meteors that track your path.
How to dodge: Do not stop: each meteor lands where you were 0.85 s earlier.
Phylacteries
Telegraph: Summon
Crystals that heal the Undying until they are broken.
How to dodge: Break the crystals: each one keeps healing the Undying.
Soul Rain
Telegraph: Circles in sequence
Green skulls fall from the sky onto you.
How to dodge: Keep walking: the skulls fall where you were.
When it drops to 50% health
Phylactery Nova
Supreme Skill
A giant nova around the Undying. The only refuge is a hole behind the nearest phylactery — run for it.
Enrage: below 30% health or after 90 s on the field, it attacks twice as fast and speeds up.
Entrance
Execution
Executable below 8% health.
Once executable, it staggers for 2 s without moving or attacking, and its health holds at 1%. Get within 150 px and press Execute: a finishing blow, invulnerability, +25% health and +50 gold.
Elements and resistances
No creature resists or is weak to any element: fire, ice, arcane and physical hurt the same.
Elites and bosses cannot be frozen or stunned by shock (shock becomes a 15% slow), and each stack of chill slows them only 4%. Bosses take only 12% of knockback.
Bestiary reward
Every kill counts in the in-game bestiary. Each grade you reach grants a permanent Damage bonus in every run.
| Grade | Kills | Bonus · Damage |
|---|---|---|
| I | 18 | +0.5% |
| II | 35 | +1% |
| III | 55 | +1.7% |
| IV · Mastery | 70 | +2.5% |
Grade IV is Mastery: it unlocks the full record text.
How to face it
- Every attack is telegraphed on the ground: read the shape and leave before it closes. Keep a medium distance to see the next warning.
- Break the phylacteries as soon as they appear: each one keeps healing the Undying.
- At half health it stops, turns invulnerable for 1.2 s and unleashes its supreme attack: save your dash for that moment.
- The dash grants invulnerability: use it to cross warnings you cannot walk around in time.
