Tips
- At 23 damage per hit, bring armor with defense and food with high healing (e.g. cooked dishes from the cooking data) before engaging.
- With 415 HP, this is a sustained fight: upgrade your weapon so average damage is high, and expect roughly 4 hits with the best available weapon.
- Use the combat buffs from rings and footwear, and retreat when low — enemies do not chase across floor transitions.
