I made this arena preset as a way to both make it up to those I frustrated with my round in the Waltz preset, Lovecraft’s Fantasy, and as a way to test my own creativity with these encounters! I love the Cosmic Realm, and I’m not even a fan of Lovecraft, but the ambience and atmosphere of the realm is astonishing! Now, I’ve already apologized ad nauseum for three Cosmic Barons, but when I do it this time, I have a twist to it! The final round is MEANT for using the BFC, because even I asked myself: “If I were to do this again, for a final round, and I see three Cosmic Barons and three Cacodemons, do I want to deal with them?” And my answer was: “F*ck that. Nuke ‘em!” Do enjoy, because as many times as I died playtesting, I feel I somehow improved immensely in only 45 minutes! (I died A LOT). Seriously, please use the BFC on Round 5! It feels so good to do it!

Skill Tips:
Shoot the ground at your feet with the Rocket Launcher after parrying to gain health, and against Barons when they are close.
Take out Cosmic Barons and Acolytes first before any other enemy.
Use fodder demons to siphon charges for the Shield Saw, and use charged shield bashes against Revenants and Whiplashes.
Throw Shield Saw into demons to keep them stationary and then open fire upon them!
To quote a Gen Z legend: “Just get good and beat them!”
