Tips

• When Mithrix drops below 90% of max health, he starts using his Lunar Orbs attack which keeps him in place for a short period of time, making it easier to line up the shot.
  • Since this attack also deals 8% of his current health back to Mithrix (this is non-lethal), waiting for Mithrix to lower his health enough to be one-shot makes this a safe approach without risking any proc items accidentally killing him.

• Avoid collecting items that activate damaging effects that are beyond the player's control. This encompasses most random on-hit effects that deal damage, such as the Tri-Tip DaggerTri-Tip Dagger

    • Since the final boss returns stolen items in the order the player obtained them, the player should pick up these items early in a run to ensure they can retrieve them without killing the boss.
  • The Artifact of SwarmsSwarmsMonster spawns are doubled, but monster maximum health is halved.
    Code:
    ●●▲
    ▲♦▲
    ▲●● halves the final boss's health and spawns two copies of him. If something goes awry when attempting to smush the first, the second can be used as a backup.
  • The Artifact of GlassGlassAllies deal 500% damage, but have 10% health.
