Strategy

• Immediately concentrating on the boom flies when Loki spawns them gives you a chance of causing them to explode on him.
• The Poky in the room does contact damage and has very random movements, so be sure to keep an eye on it so it does not damage you by surprise.
• All of Loki's tear attacks have a simple pattern which can be easily avoided if you move back from him when he makes an "oh" expression.

Trivia

• The spike block in the room does not damage Loki's Boom Flies anymore as it did in the original game.

• Loki has a posthumous version of himself named "Lokii," which appears in The Womb.
• Loki is based off of the Norse trickster god of the same name.
