Health phases

Attacks

From the start

  • Slam

    Telegraph: Circle on the ground

    A circular ground slam — step out of the ring.

    How to dodge: Leave the circle before the impact.

  • Beam

    Telegraph: Straight line

    A straight beam that pierces everything.

    How to dodge: Sidestep or go behind it.

  • Nova

    Telegraph: Circle around it

    A shockwave that bursts around the enemy.

    How to dodge: Get more than 230 px away from it.

  • 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.

  • Chaos Cross

    Telegraph: Cross, then X

    Beams in a cross, then an X — the safe spot shifts.

    How to dodge: Stand between the lines of the +, then leave the diagonals of the X.

  • Infernal Board

    Telegraph: Checkerboard

    Floor tiles erupt in fire, then the pattern flips.

    How to dodge: After the first eruption, step on a tile that just erupted.

When it drops to 50% health

  • Throne of Chaos

    Supreme Skill

    Each player gets a shrinking safe circle; everything outside it, in a huge radius, is hit. Stay inside your circle.

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.

GradeKillsBonus · Damage
I15+0.5%
II30+1%
III45+1.7%
IV · Mastery60+2.5%

Grade IV is Mastery: it unlocks the full record text.

How to face it

  1. Every attack is telegraphed on the ground: read the shape and leave before it closes. Keep a medium distance to see the next warning.
  2. At half health it stops, turns invulnerable for 1.2 s and unleashes its supreme attack: save your dash for that moment.
  3. The dash grants invulnerability: use it to cross warnings you cannot walk around in time.
