Don’t Skip the Spear

Chauve-Souris isn’t part of Isaac’s reward screen. It’s left in the arena after the battle, so pick it up after his dialogue before heading out. Many players rush the exit and miss it.

Quick Boss Tips

  • Save before the fight. This is a major story boss, and the Bad ending can be reached shortly after you take on Isaac and Carmilla.
  • Learn his patterns first. Watch his attacks before committing to damage.
  • Heal before you go in. Arrive with full health and your best Arcana equipped.
