Death
  • Attacks:
    1. Scythe Throw: Throws his large scythe, which returns to him.
    2. Teleport: Teleports around the arena.
    3. Summon Scythes (Phase 2): Summons two large orbiting scythes that he can throw.
  • Weakness: None specific.
  • Recommended Souls:
    • Bullet: Minotaur Soul, Witch Soul, or Killer Clown Soul for consistent damage.
    • Guardian: Giant Bat Soul (for evasion), Flame Demon Soul (for defense).
    • Enchant: Axe Armor Soul for STR boost.
  • Strategy: Death has two phases. In phase one, he teleports and throws his scythe. Dodge the scythe and attack him when he reappears. In phase two, he summons two large scythes that orbit him and can be thrown. Focus on dodging these scythes, as they deal significant damage. Attack Death directly when you have an opening. This fight requires good timing and constant movement.
  • Reward: Access to the Underground Cemetery.
