Where it appears#

Each row is one area: level, HP, Physical attack and Physical defence of its placements there (a range when they differ). Reading guide: The Where it appears table.

Maze scaling#

In Deep into the Dark Mist the level comes from the maze floor, not from the placement (details).

Hidden mechanics#

• Scaling. Level 11 / 37 / 62 / 74 in the reference placement for journeys 1-4 (fixed per placement, rising with each New Game Plus journey); HP goes from 1779 to 5880 (x3.3) and Physical attack from 315 to 1040 by journey 4. Poise and Resilience never scale; the rule is in How enemy stats are built.
• Dark Mist levels. Its 3 placements in the Dark Mist scenes (stories 101-105) take their level from your hero, not from the table (Dark Mist enemies scale with your hero). The table level is 11 in journey 1 and 1 in journeys 2-4, so from journey 2 on the level is your Altar Level + 11.
• Body flags. It cannot be backstabbed (HeroData HitBackstab = 0, see Backstab); it has a large body, so it ignores other hit reactions while Weakened.
• Status effects. Its moves can apply: Burn (see Status effects).
• First-kill drop. 2 placements roll a different drop list the first time they are killed (see Enemies#Drops): quest 53201 (1 placement); quest 53202 (1 placement).

See How to read the enemy pages for what the sections mean and How enemy stats are built for the stat rules.
