It deals damage extremely quickly and should be avoided at all costs. The red worm will first indicate its attack with a target crosshairs which is followed by a laser stream that starts at the target's position then homes in on the nearest player. Also, Acrid's Epidemic can still do damage over time, ignoring the 'shield'.Īfter beating his first phase Providence will summon 2 Gilded Wurms, each with their own health bar. Barbed Wire and Tesla Coil also do damage to Providence while he has this buff. Damage-over-time effects such as Thallium and Rusty Knife, will deal full damage, however.

Unless the players can deal massive amount of attacks rapidly, it's generally recommended to avoid fighting him in this state as all damage inflicted upon him will only result in 1's. It should also be noted that Providence will shield himself after the 66% and 33% health marks, indicated by a floating shield icon above his head. In co-op runs this attack will target all living players, so avoiding crossing paths with teammates is vital. In solo runs this is extremely easy to avoid as all that is needed is to stay mobile, Providence can even be attacked because he won't move or dodge any attack. Once Providence has used his Shockwave attack twice, he will stand still and start targeting the player with many delayed projectiles. If a Jetpack item is acquired throughout the run it should be fairly easy to avoid. This attack is easily avoided by simply hanging onto a ladder or using a well timed jump. Note that ledges do not stop the shockwave as it will travel down 'off' of the ledge onto the next floor underneath and keep going. Players cannot run from the attack to dodge it as it has infinite range until it hits something whether it be the player or a wall.

Both deal enough damage to warrant caution however, both attacks are very easy to avoid simply by staying in motion (drones will not fare as well since they lag behind the players prepare for them to be crushed fairly quickly).Īfter every 3 short slashes or normal swings he will thrust his sword into the ground which creates a shockwave that will knock the player upwards then stun them for a few seconds if it hits directly. If they are close, he will hack at them with an advancing slash. In his first phase he will teleport to the player with a downward slash if they are far away from him.
