Special Offer is a Seal bossfight against a mech-riding Bloke that can only be found in runs until he is defeated once. After being beaten, the fight can only be accessed through the Mirror from then on. Atypical compared to other bosses, the objective is to damage an item floating about the room, depleting its cost (starting at 999999G/666666G with Discount) until the player has enough Debris to purchase it.

The encounter is initiated by finding his Seal pickup on sale in Bloke's Shop after Overlord has been defeated and Special Offer itself has not. The pickup will generate randomly in Excavation and the Archives, but is guaranteed to appear in Bloke's Shop in the Maintenance System, Bellows, and Sanctum.

Notes

  • The damage done to the seal item is much higher than the damage done to other enemies, leading to much lower actual health than what the price would suggest.
    • Damage done to the seal is 225 * Damage% per shot. Therefore, when the player is at their base damage and Discount is not applied, the amount of shots to bring Special Offer down to 1GP will be that equivalent to dealing 4,444 damage normally. The same logic is used for calculating the approximate HP with Discount applied.
  • The savings from lowering the price of defeating Special Offer to 1G are considered by veteran players worth the extra risk needed to get to that point.

Trivia

  • Bloke is a member of the Council, as indicated by his trademark shades being present on one of the Council member statues and him being in possession of one of the Seals needed to reach Unknown.
  • The statue bearing his shades being the one giving the Blessing of Earth means he is most likely the Grand Geomancer.
  • Bloke will be wearing bandages in any further appearances in the run that the player completes the Special Offer battle.
