Unlocking Huntress’ alternative primary skill, Pierce, requires defeating three unique event bosses in one run, meaning you’re able to defeat the same boss over and over by repeating the run. This is doable as long as you don’t get unlucky with what stages you get.

Providence is the hardest fight in the game, so be sure to make your preparations before heading in.

The Golem of Cognation

The Golem of Cognation only spawns in theDesolate Forest Stage Variant #4. Look for an underground vine leading to the chamber with theArtifact of Cognation. Activate the two buttons to spawn the Golem of Cognation. Since this boss spawns in on one of the variants of the first stage, it should be the first one you should target if you’re looking for Hidden Event bosses to unlock Huntress’ alternate ability. If you don’t get the fourth variant of Desolate Forest, simply reset the run until you do.

The Toxic Beast can be found atBoar Beach, a hidden area in the2nd variant of the Ancient Valleymap (one of the possible maps for the third stage).
