Adrien

Adrien is a secret boss that can only be found in secret rooms in the Imperium biome. It has the appearance of a ginger woman in a red uniform with a steel chestplate on it, white skirt, red hat with a feather and a sword and a gun in each hand.

## Interaction

When you enter the secret room you can see her standing in the center of the room. Adrien doesn't attack you and cannot take damage, but is still considered to be an enemy, so you can't exit the room even in invisibility, and your followers will try to attack her. The only way to leave the room is talking to the mercenary. You have two options - to negotiate with Adrien or to fight with her. If you choose the second option, the mercenary becomes your enemy and the fight begins. After defeating, the White Chest appears with only a few coins, since she doesn't have a unique item.

However, you have the first option. Choosing it will lead to two more options - pay Adrien 300 coins or paying her with a loan of 400 coins, paying with all your available Gold up to 400. If you pay 300 coins, the mercenary becomes your follower, with good damage and great health. If you take a loan, she also becomes your follower, but she will remind you about your debt and all the money that you collect after that will decrease your debt. The mercenary goes with you during the whole current run, until you finish it or she dies. You can complete the whole run without paying off the debt with no negative consequences.

## Attack pattern

Adrien moves by walking relatively slowly, and has three attacks:

* Ranged: Adrien shoots three times from her gun, dealing 25 damage per shot to enemies as an ally, and 13 damage to the player as an enemy.
* Melee: Adrien performs three slashes with her sword, dealing 17, 23 and 34 damage respectively to enemies as an ally, and 9, 12 and 17 damage to the player as an enemy, and cleans the sword after that. She remains unflinching during the whole attack.
* Slide: Adrien slides across the room a long distance in the player's direction. The slide can go diagonally in a number of different angles. It's Adrien's main form of movement, both when fighting the player and when allied with them.

When attacked from the front, her chestplate will reduce the damage she takes by 80% as enemy and 35% as ally and she will also receive no stun or daze. However, daze induced by items and specific skills which directly cause the status effect instead of being part of an attack, which uses the hitbox to deliver the debuff, cannot be blocked, as the effect technically doesn't come from the front or behind.

As an ally, Adrien uses the same set of attacks, but gains considerably increased attack speed and mobility as well as impressive damage, and can also pick up health potions to restore her health after it drops past a certain point.

## Dialogue

### Secret Room Dialogue

When meeting her, Adrien has a lot of interactions depending on the dialogue options you choose:

* When talking with her she says: *"Someone has put a bounty on you. Hey, walking wallet."*
	+ From here you can tell her:
		- *"Wait, we can settle it out."* This option opens more dialogue.
	+ or
		- *"That depends on whether you have the guts."* This options begins the fight.

* If you choose the first option she says: *"Well, let me see how many **coins** you got"*
	+ From here you can tell her:
		- *"I'm willing to pay more. (Pay 300 coins.)"* This option makes her your ally.
		- *"How about by installment? Our friendship is what that matters. (Pay {X} coins, owe {X} coins, 400 coins in total.)"* This option makes her your ally too, but any coins that you pick up goes to her until you don't owe her any more money.

* When you pay her 300 coins she says: *"Oh, a smart walking wallet."*

* When you choose to owe her coins she says: *"To our very short friendship."*

* When the fight against her starts she says: *"Let's have a fight!"*

* If you defeat her she says: *"Ya..."*

### Follower Dialogue

If you choose to pay her she will become a follower, and she has a lot of interactions that appear on certain situations:

* Everytime you pick up coins, Adrien will say: *"You still owe me {X}."* {X} referring to the amount of coins you still owe her.
	+ When you clear off your debt Adrien says: *"You are honest."*

* When in Peddler's shop she can say:
	+ *"Dropping by to visit my old-time friend. He is now a businessman. And I never pay."*
* or
	+ *"{X} seems nice."* {X} referring to any item available at the moment.

* If you remain idle at the item shop, she will say:
	+ *"Get it, get it!"*
* or
	+ *"Why are you being hesitant! Go get it!"*

* When you enter the shop without enough money to buy an item, Adrien will say:
	+ *"No money? You know nothing!"*
* or
	+ *"It must be painful being poor."*

## Trivia

* Adrien is the NPC with the most dialogue in the entire game. (as of version 1.11.5)
* Adrien has some unused phrases (*"We have to resort to violence."*, *"The left one."*, *"The right one."*, *"The middle one.")*
* There is an unused interaction where if you fail to pay the debt, she will say: *"You know the consequences of owing mercenary money? Of course you don't, for all those who do are dead!"* before a battle against her begins.
