Behavior

The M.E.R.V. appears once the F.E.R.A.L. has lost four of its blue pools. It is an invincible enemy that traverses the paths of the dungeon in a straight line, entering through a hole in the wall and leaving through another on the other side.

Each time the M.E.R.V. travels across the room, it will choose two of the following three attacks to use in tandem:

• Fires small spreads of stagnating Paralyze thunderbolts in front of itself.
• Fires wavy purple shockwaves to its sides.
• Leaves behind a trail of green spirals that initially stay stationary before accelerating in the direction of a nearby target.

The M.E.R.V. temporarily despawns once the fight has reached a certain point, but will return once there are only two blue pools left. When it returns, its attacks will be upgraded:

• Paralyze bolts are larger, more numerous, and Paralyzed for longer.
• Purple shockwaves now linger in place for a bit.
• Now also leaves a stationary trail of Slowing blue spinners while firing its green spinners.

Tips and Strategies

Keep a careful eye on this enemy as it moves across the map, as it can inflict severe damage or a swift death if it catches players off guard and runs them over. Its map icon is visible regardless of whether it is in a player’s sight range or not, so the minimap is useful for tracking it.

Trivia

M.E.R.V. has been stated to stand for Missile Ejecting Robotic Vehicle.
