Synergies

• Using it together with Phaser is an easy high damage crit enabler as it teleports the player behind the enemy.

Location

Found in a secret area up and to the left of the starting point in the Promenade of the Condemned.

Notes

• The critical hit cannot be applied to Spawners, Protectors, Shockers, Impalers, Maskers, Conjunctivius, or the Giant, due to the fact that they have no backside.
  • The same occurs with the Vorpan, as these enemies don't have a frontside either.
