Intro
This article is about Loki, not to be confused with Lokii. Loki is a boss that can appear in all environments of Chapter 3 (Depths, Necropolis, Dank Depths). Contents • 1 Behavior • 2 Gallery • 3 Notes • 4 Trivia • 5 References
Behavior
Loki teleports to random locations in the room away from Isaac and has the following attacks:
- Shoots 4 projectiles in the four cardinal directions, followed by the four diagonal directions, and then the cardinal directions once again.
- Spawns a Boom Fly on top of himself. A maximum of 4 Boom Flies can be alive at once.
- Shoots 8 projectiles in all directions. Loki deals a whole heart of contact damage. A Poky can accompany Loki during the fight, dealing contact damage and blocking Isaac's tears. Loki can also be accompanied by 4 Stone Grimaces in the corners of the room.
Notes
- Using the Meat Cleaver on Loki has a unique interaction, splitting him into Lokii.
