Template:BossTable The Duke of Flies is a boss that appears in The Basement. Compared to most other bosses, the Duke has little health and cannot even attack on his own. He makes up for this by summoning attack flies for both offensive and defensive purposes. The Duke of Flies was a boss in the original Binding of Isaac.
Behavior
The Duke of Flies has three attacks which he can perform while he floats around the room slowly.
- While moving around the room, he will cough up Attack Flies that will orbit around him, blocking shots.
- Occasionally, he will cough up a large attack fly that will move toward Isaac.
- Template:Afterbirth† These large attack flies will now orbit around him when coughed up instead of homing in on Isaac.
- His third attack consists of him coughing which will spread the flies orbiting him outwards, freeing them to move towards Isaac. He will only use this attack if he already has several flies orbiting around him.
- Upon death, he will explode and spawn more flies, and all orbiting flies will be free to move towards Isaac.
