Tips[]

  • Each individual enemy in a Horde of Many (and each enemy spawned during the second phase of the final bossMithrix
    King of NothingHP: 1000 (+300 per level)
    Damage: 16 (+3.2 per level)
    Class: Melee / Ranged
    Speed: 15 m/s
    Armor: 20
    fight) counts towards this challenge.
    • This means that enabling the Artifact of KinKinMonsters will be of only one type per stage.
      Code:
      ●▲▲
      ♦●▲
      ♦♦●
      can trivialize this challenge, as Teleporter Events (outside of the late game) will spawn Hordes of Many.
    • Similarly, individual enemies on the Boss Waves of The Simulacrum all count towards this challenge. This is potentially the quickest way to unlock this challenge if one has the Survivors of The Void DLC, as most boss waves will include more than 15 enemies.
