Mini-Bosses

Mini-bosses are special enemies that must be defeated on each floor in order to face that floor's boss. Upon defeat, mini-bosses will drop a pickup. In the base game, depending on whether or not the player is missing health, the mini-boss will drop a +1HP or +20% ammo pickup. In the Relics of the Past DLC, players can choose between a +1HP or +20% ammo pickup.

Amount on Each Floor
The amount of mini-bosses that appear on each floor varies. Floor 1 contains one miniboss. Floors 2, 3, and 4 contain two mini-bosses. Floors 5, 6, and 7 contain three mini-bosses. The Temple contains one to four mini-bosses, but requires only one to be defeated in order to leave.
