How to Beat Fell Monstrosity
A horror stitched together by the sorcerer Ikora, who experimented on Shroud Spores with the Black Cauldron.
It looms beside calcified statues across the mid-to-late biomes; its head unlocks the Flame Altar's fourth upgrade.
Strategy
A stationary-artillery fight: circle-strafe to dodge the Shroud Spray volleys and never stand in the breath lane. Shroud-resistance armor keeps the chip damage manageable while you burn it down. The unique Cauldron only drops from the Cradle of Dusk lair.
