Dispatch it and take the elevated platforms up into the next area the Soul Sanctum.Īs soon as you enter the Soul Sanctum, head left and take the exit to the next screen. This enemy will float and teleport around the room casting spells at the Knight, providing a preview for the upcoming boss encounter.
