1-minute Guide
Bloat is, in my opinion, the easiest boss in the Theatre of Blood as damage can be avoided completely as long as no one makes any mistakes. He’s also pretty quick to kill (usually 2-4 attacks when he’s standing still).
Only attack Bloat once he is standing still. Don’t forget to equip your salve (e) amulet.
Bloat Special Attacks
- Bloat Flies (if bloat sees you)
- Meat falling from the ceiling
- Stomp (happens when attacking him for too long)
Bloat Flies
Make sure bloat is on the other side before entering the room. If he sees you, flies will start attacking you and your surrounding teammates. These flies deal rapid 15-20 damage. Damage can be slightly reduced by having protect from missiles on. Always keep moving around the centerpiece and stay out of his line of sight until he stops moving.
Bloat Stomp
Once bloat has stopped moving you hit him with 4-6 melee hits and use your Dragon Claw/Halberd Specs to increase damage. After the 4-6 hits you want to quickly run around the corner. Taking too long and getting too greedy will result in bloat performing his Stomp attack which can easily deal up to 80 damage and combo you out with flies.
Falling Meat
After bloat has stopped moving for the first time, meat will start falling from the sky. You can avoid these by paying attention to the shadows on the floor indicating where they will end up. Falling meat can hit up to 50 damage and stun you temporarily, possibly causing bloat to catch up to you.
