Spoiler-light guide
Mina the Hollower Boss Guide
This is a preparation hub, not a phase-by-phase spoiler dump. Use it before repeated attempts, then read full boss pages later if needed.
Quick Answer: Before a boss, check weapon recovery, defensive trinkets, healing supply, and whether a sidearm creates a safer opening. If you are dying quickly, fix survival first and damage second.
Spoiler-Light Hint: The boss is usually teaching a rhythm. Stop attacking for one attempt and watch movement, burrow windows, and safe recovery positions.
Boss prep table
| Prep item | Question to ask | What to change |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Can I safely recover after a miss? | Switch to a more familiar or lower-commitment weapon. |
| Trinkets | Am I dying before learning the pattern? | Use defensive or healing-support trinkets. |
| Sidearm | Do I need distance or interruption? | Pick a support tool that creates one safe window. |
| Healing | Am I healing during panic? | Heal only after a clear boss action, not while guessing. |
| Bones | Am I under-upgraded? | Farm only if route notes show a repeatable safe loop. |
Common Mistakes
- Trying to out-damage a boss before understanding its rhythm.
- Changing every part of a build after one bad attempt.
- Reading full spoilers before testing a preparation change.
- Assuming all boss counts and names are final in launch-window pages.
