Molten Ono

A Molten Ono in the Lake.

The Molten Ono is the strongest variant of the Ember Hatchet that can be encountered only as a Commander or in NG+. It attacks by throwing itself at the player, or by spewing flames.

## Behaviour

The Molten Ono is a flying melee enemy that always try to move towards the player. It attacks by throwing itself at the player while spinning. While it's rather slow during normal movement, it will move faster during its spin attack. Like the Burning Axe, it also has a flamethrower attack.

It has a good knockback resistance and cannot get hurt by spikes & environmental damage (water/clouds) if it flies into them.

## Attacks

At close range, the Molten Ono will favor its flamethrower attack over its spinning charge. At medium range, it will use both attacks equally.

### Spinning Charge

After a brief wind up, the Molten Ono charges at the player while spinning, for around **6 seconds**.

It will attempt to fly into the player, following them around.

It moves fast but has a low turn speed, making it prone to bump into walls.

Compared to Burning Axes, Molten Onos move slightly faster and have a better turn speed, making their movement more accurate.

### Flamethrowers

After a brief wind up, the Molten Ono spews 4 streams of flame in the 4 cardinal directions for almost **3 seconds**.

These flames are similar to those of the Flamethrower Hazards, and can hit the player **through walls**.

During the wind up, the Molten Ono is immobile, but it can move in a straight line (usually towards the player) while spewing flames.

## Location

Initially, Molten Onos can only appear as Commanders.

Once you reach NG+1, they can appear as regular enemies through the use of burdens: each level of the  Burden of Evolution enabled adds a 10% chance for a Burning Axe in Pishon Dry Lake to instead spawn as a Molten Ono.

## Variants

*Flying Axes are one of the few enemy families to also feature a Void Beast (story based mini-boss) variant.*
