Behavior

Phase 1
He begins by riding around in a fast circle while firing 3 Headless Horseman Shockwaves in a spread, as well as a single aimed Headless Horseman Pumpkin.

Phase 2
Once he receives enough damage, he will flash and remain still while firing 8 Headless Horseman Blasts in a circle around him, as well as a single aimed Headless Horseman Pumpkin. He is intangible while flashing, and bullets will pass through him. After a certain amount of time, he will revert back to Phase 1.

He will repeat Phase 2 after receiving certain amounts of damage, but will not go intangible any time beyond the first.

Tips and Strategies

The Headless Horseman is a rather powerful enemy with a lot more health, damage, and complex behavior compared to other gods. Exercise more caution than you would with a normal mountain enemy.

Be careful not to get sat on by it, as the number of shots it fires can severely harm your character.
