Bosses
Bosses & rewards
Use the three-key bosses to reach the castle, then follow the Talos–Carmilla–Notre-Dame route. Optional fights have different roles in the ending branches.
Dracula & endings
Stop the clock with Soul Harvest before entering the real final route. For the True Ending, equip Self and hold Absolution’s spell input after the second form.
Isaac encounters
The castle-bridge Isaac is an illusion. The real fight is in Heart of the Clock and awards The Zealot / Chronomantic Dive.
The Fallen
Move behind the first two melee swings, then account for the third swing turning toward Rose. Destroy the returning cross and absorb the reward after winning.
Medusa
Turn away when Medusa uses her gaze, then attack after it ends. Arcane Whip cannot directly grapple Medusa.
Joan of Arc
Climb to Roof of the Tower, keep combos short and absorb The Warrior after the first fight to obtain Infernal Pyre, the key and Holy Light.
