### Location

Accursed Tomb

**Death** is an enemy in Lunacid that can appear in the Mausoleum located in the Accursed Tomb if the player stays there for too long. Death takes the appearance of a typical depiction of the Grim Reaper: a robed, skeletal figure wielding a scythe.

## Behavior

Unlike every other enemy in the game (besides the Jotunn), Death is unable to be killed unless the player attacks it with the weapon Limbo, which will instantly kill Death. Death may spawn as long as the player is inside of the Mausoleum. Once they appear, the message "Death Approaches" will appear on screen, alongside a purple fog and foreboding music. Once this occurs, Death will chase the player until they use a Crystal Shard, warp somewhere else with a Crystal, or exit the Accursed Tomb through a door to another area. Although Death spawns exclusively in the Mausoleum section of the Accursed Tomb, they may still chase the player outside of the Mausoleum and into the other parts of the area. Death is able to move through walls and becomes progressively faster the longer they have been chasing the player. Once they become close enough to the player, Death will inflict Bleeding and Cursed on the player.

## Strategy

The looming threat of Death appearing can make going to the Mausoleum very stressful. If you want to avoid Death spawning while you are inside the Mausoleum, then it's best to do whatever it is you want to do in the Mausoleum quickly and then leave as fast as you can. Crystal Shards make this much easier as not only will it allow you to instantly teleport out of the Mausoleum, but it will also allow you to escape from Death if they are already chasing you. If you don't have any Crystal Shards, however, this can make exploring the deeper rooms of the Mausoleum and escaping much trickier, as not only does the Mausoleum become harder to navigate the deeper in you go, but it is also much darker than the rest of the Accursed Tomb, ranging from near complete darkness with all three Prometheus Pyres activated to pitch black darkness without them activated, necessitating the use of a light source. The Quick Stride or Wind Dash Rings (the latter accompanied by a good supply of Mana Vials) can help with making it to the far rooms of the Mausoleum and back before Death can spawn.

Once Death spawns, without a Crystal Shard, your only option is to book it out of the Mausoleum to the first room of the Accursed Tomb and using either the Crystal to warp out or going to the front door and exiting to The Sanguine Sea. However, if Death inflicts Curse on you, you will be unable to use the Crystal and you'll have to use the door. Because of Death's increasing speed as they chase you, you must waste no time in reaching the exit, as they can catch up to you surprisingly fast. Do not engage with any enemies while Death is chasing you unless you absolutely must, as it will only give them more time to catch up to you. The same Wind Dash and Quick Stride rings that can help with quick trips to the Mausoleum can also make for a great option for outrunning Death, especially in the event that their speed exceeds your own base running speed.

The only way to kill Death is to use Limbo, a special sword that can be crafted upon finding three ingredients located in the Forlorn Arena. These pieces include the Broken Sword, a Piece of Life, and a Piece of Death. Once crafted, Death will die on a singular hit, and will drop the Death Scythe, upon which the player will receive ten Strange Coins and a message will be displayed saying "Death has been slain". This will alter the levels so that no friendly NPCs spawn, alter the music, and causing Specters to spawn near corpses. The only way to revert these changes is by fully upgrading the Death Scythe, which will cause Death to respawn and make you lose the scythe.

## Trivia

* According to Demi, the scythe in her possession belonged to Death, implying that she stole it from them at some point. This may have incurred Death's wrath, sporting a more powerful scythe that grants them immunity to all damage.
