    The hidden boss names decoded

    Steam names most bosses by their Arcana title. Who each one is:

    • the Fallen = The Fallen (first boss)
    • the Warrior = Joan of Arc
    • the Prophetess = Medusa
    • the Builder = Talos
    • the Occultist = Carmilla
    • the Shadow = Death
    • the Miser = Mammon
    • the Judge = Saint Louis (the Scales of Justice)
    • the Brittle King = Arthur
    • the Temptress = the Succubus
    • the Zealot = Isaac
    • the Self = Rose's shadow

    Plan for 100%

    1. First run: follow the boss route, break every candle (Lamplighter) and grab True Belmont as soon as you have The Fallen's card.
    2. Clean up: every weapon (Armed to the Fangs), every clue (The Greatest Detective), every health and mana upgrade (Collector), every mirror of life (Narcissus), then the optional bosses.
    3. Works of Mercy: each Arcana's challenges unlock its Blessings; all of them is Pick a card, any card. See the Arcana list.
    4. Endings: bad, normal and true each have an achievement.
    5. Speedrun last: Dialog Skipper needs a finish in under 4 hours; a new save with the route in hand.
