Behavior

Dirge is found on one corner of the pentagram in the middle of the Cultist Hideout boss room. Before the battle begins, the cultists have some dialogue. Dirge speaks fourth and taunts "So there are still wandering souls in these accursed halls..." . When the battle begins, he will teleport around, stopping to fire square-shaped bursts of Grey Shots. When enough damage is dealt to him, he will teleport back to his original location. When this happens, he will taunt "Your bones will be charred!". Once all 5 cultists have been dealt sufficient damage, they will summon [Molek](/wiki/molek) and disappear. Once Molek is dead, the process repeats, with the only difference being that the Cultists now fire 3-burst spreads of their projectile shapes instead of single ones. On returning for the second time, Dirge will taunt "You will not stand in the way of destiny!". Once all of them have been sufficiently damaged again, they will summon [Balaam](/wiki/balaam) and vanish again. Once Balaam is dead, the process repeats, but this time the Cultists will fire 5-round bursts of their shapes. On returning for the third time, Dirge will taunt "An unfathomable evil is being kept at bay!". Once all five of them have taken enough damage, they will sacrifice themselves to empower [Malus](/wiki/malus) and start the second phase of the fight. His sacrifice taunt is "Defend the ritual!".

Tips and Strategies

It is pretty needless to say that you should dodge his shots, as they inflict {{template-quiet}}.
