The Mad Alchemist is a magic-user boss found in a hidden laboratory within The Watching Woods, accessible after navigating a portion of the area. He primarily attacks with various elemental spells: fireballs, lightning bolts, and a poisonous cloud. He also has a close-range staff swing. The arena is relatively small, so staying mobile is crucial. Dodge his projectiles and try to close the distance when he's casting. He often teleports around the arena, making him a tricky target. When he casts the poisonous cloud, try to get out of its radius quickly. If you have any ranged attacks, they can be very effective in this fight, allowing you to damage him while avoiding his spells. Melee users should focus on quick bursts of damage after dodging his attacks. His defeat grants you the Vertigo Brand, a crucial item for future progression.
