Scriptorium (Miniboss Room)

The boss in the center cannot be directly targeted. Defeat the 6 clones around it to progress. The boss’ rune skills increase in pattern area as clones are defeated, so it is generally advised to try to lower all clones’ life and then kill them in quick succession.

Reliquary(Miniboss Room)

This boss moves and attacks quickly, and fires random arcing projectiles when it moves. It is recommended to burst this boss down if possible, as its area denial worsens as its life goes lower, filling the arena with rows of coffins.

Sanctum Bellum (Miniboss Room)

Burst this boss down before it can use its orbital lasers or slam attacks.

Mausoleum (Miniboss Room)

Bursting this boss will prevent it from using its massive area denial skills and annoying mechanics.
