Play

Read the guide to The Brinemother for how to dodge each attack.

The fight

A boss floor has no clock: the waves keep coming until she falls. She steps out 1.5 s into the floor and draws her first attack 1.67 s later. While she winds up she stands still; between attacks she walks at you at 1.31 tiles a second (the Warrior walks 4.2) and her touch bites for 33. After each attack lands she rests 1.5 s before drawing the next; below half HP only 1 s. Knockback does not move her. No boss attack may land sooner than 0.6 s after it is drawn.

Her attacks

The full guide to The Brinemother has when she picks each one and how long a dodge takes.

What she drops

Always three rare items and two magic items, each rolled with magic and rare odds ×2.2 so any of them can come out better, and a spill of 10 coins. From floor 3 down a boss kill also has a 50% chance of a unique item (one you do not own yet, picked evenly among the 10) and from floor 4 down a 13% chance of a set piece. Every item lands on a ring around her body.
