Summary

Armand is the boss that appears when Mina tries to buy a second item from Legovich. The fight is tied to Ossex progression and unlocks the smithy afterward.

How the fight goes

Treat this as a shop-quest boss rather than a random encounter. The arena pressure is less about raw damage and more about clearing the interruption so Legovich's shop can return to normal.

Attack patterns

Watch for close-range pressure and stay ready to reset spacing if Armand tries to crowd Mina in the shop area.

Spoils of the fight

Defeating Armand restores the smithy to normal operation and opens up the related shop progression.

Best use cases

  • Use this page before first attempts on Armand, then return after a few pulls to refine punish windows.
  • Pair it with a defensive setup if you are still learning movement, or a damage setup once the pattern is familiar.
  • Use the notes as a route checkpoint when deciding whether to spend Bones before continuing.
  • Treat the first few attempts as scouting pulls: learn one safe answer per attack before chasing full damage rotations.
  • If the fight blocks progression, favor repeatable survival over a faster clear; route consistency is the value this page should protect.

Route notes

  • Fight notes belong with Ossex, especially the Legovich's Arms route.
  • This boss is better treated as a local route gate than a standalone DPS check.
  • Reward context: Restores Legovich's Arms to full inventory (unlocks Hollower's Shield).

Tested notes

  • Test safe openings first: one attack, reposition, then repeat until the recovery window is obvious.
  • Watch for room hazards and approach lanes before judging the weapon matchup.
  • Keep exact damage numbers flexible because patches, upgrades, and modifier settings can change the feel of the fight.

Common mistakes

  • Greeding long combos after the first safe hit instead of resetting spacing.
  • Entering with a route loadout when the fight needs a boss-specific defensive or damage setup.
  • Ignoring the nearest Underlab and losing resources to repeated runbacks.
  • Changing too many loadout pieces between pulls, which makes it harder to tell whether the improvement came from routing, spacing, or raw stats.
