Eris
Overview
Eris is the goddess of discord and strife, serving as the boss of the Rift of Thessaly — the second layer of the Surface route. Nimble and aggressive, she fights with swift melee combos and explosive golden apples.
Attack Patterns
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Golden Apple Throw | Hurls explosive apples with a wide blast radius; keep distance when they land |
| High-Speed Dash Slash | Closes distance instantly and follows with a slash; dodge sideways |
| Discord Aura | Damages Melinoë if she remains too close for too long |
| Illusion Split | Creates decoy copies of herself; the real Eris moves differently than the fakes |
| Discord Command (Phase 2) | Raises her attack speed significantly and lays down red AoE lines across the arena — dash immediately when lines appear |
Strategy
The key opening is catching Eris in the recovery frame after her teleport reappears — watch for the effect where she vanishes, then hit her the instant she materializes. At half HP, Discord Command begins painting red lines on the floor that detonate almost instantly; train yourself to dash the moment any line appears. Builds with fast hit-and-run attack options (Sister Blades, Torch) and dash-enhancing boons (Artemis, Athena) handle her speed best.
Rewards
Defeating Eris drops a Golden Apple and advances Surface route progression toward Mount Olympus.
