The Blighted Ovum is one of the bosses that can appear in The Cellar, and is the posthumous version of Gemini.
Behavior
The Blighted Ovum starts off separated into two parts.
- Suture is invincible and slowly floats towards the player, firing a horizontal
Brimstone shot whenever the player is to its left or right. He can't die until Contusion does. - Contusion constantly chases the player and progressively gets faster, while leaving behind a trail of Red Creep. Unlike Gemini he will not stop for breath, only slow down.
