How to beat Monarch

Written from Monarch's attack data, hazards, resistances and co-op health.

  • Every dash leads into a follow-up: Dash (10) then a 180° Post-Dash Sweep (10), Charge (15) then a Post-Dash Heavy Strike (18) reaching 6 blocks. Dodge after the dash, not during it.
  • Soul damage is halved (−50%); every other damage type hits normally.
  • It summons Clones, Scavengers (melee and ranged) and a Shard Circle whose Soul Shards hit for 4 out to 7.5 blocks, and it has Life Leech, so clear the adds before they drag the fight out.
  • The game recommends level 40. Its arena is in Ravines.
