Recognize it and read the attack
A gray fiend with a wide mouth and fleshy whip-like tendrils.
Wanders in straight lines, charges on alignment and lashes nearby Isaac. The whip can deflect tears and also swipes at placed bombs.
What makes it dangerous
Closing in can put you inside its melee reach even after leaving the charge lane.
A suggested response
- Step across its charge lane and keep a little extra distance.
- Reposition around the whip instead of forcing a close exchange.
Check the other enemies before committing to this response. Obstacles, your weapon and your character can change the safest angle.
The mistake to avoid
Treating a deflected shot as a reason to move closer.
Cross the committed charge lane rather than retreating along it.
