Background

Its slam throws out six blobs of Infection instead of four, it no longer uses the Cascade attack, and it releases Infected Balloons every few seconds, up to six at a time. The balloons are the hardest part of the fight because they leave little room to heal, which is why charms that clear them, such as Defender's Crest, Thorns of Agony or Spore Shroom, are often recommended. Lost Kin is knocked back by hits and staggers easily, so spells like Vengeful Spirit and Desolate Dive work well against it. As in other dream fights, losing does not kill the Knight: it simply wakes up beside Lost Kin, so fragile charms do not break.
