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 that can be easily avoided if you move back from him when he makes an "oh" expression.

Trivia
