Boss spawned directly on me killing me instantly.

[TakeMyLunch]

Can this... not happen please?
Seriously I would love it if they didn't just instantly end my run cause the center of the screen was chosen as their spawn location.

[Milkymalk]

Did it, by chance, happen exactly at 30:00? ;)

Going to second Milkymalk here. I've never seen a boss spawn on you. Once you hit the 30 minute marker, you get killed by death. That's intentional.

He's delivering your 500 bonus gold for winning the game. But violently.

It didn't spawn on top of you. You just missed it approaching. Even the dev has spoken about this to length. A handful of people complain about this daily. During the 25-30 minute mark. The craziness can give you tunnel vision and you miss the boss approaching you. The programming is such that it is physically impossible for a boss to spawn within a certain diameter of your character.

Really hard to miss the tallest enemy with a glowing purple aura. *I was looking out for him*
No other enemy could get close to me so 'not seeing' him is impossible when I have a perfectly clear ring where *nothing* was. It spawned on top of me. There is literally no other way he could have gotten to me without me seeing him. Especially since skulls and bats show up so I know exactly (besides the fact he spawns at 25:00) when he would be approaching.

The boss you're talking about is resistant to pushback and spawns with swarms of bats. The swarms push things very fast. This combination is what you missed. Sorry, but the poster you're replying to is correct.

In the library I feel like death spawns directly in the middle of the screen at 30:00 and unless you are actively running away from that area when it spawns it will catch you immediately. In my case it caught me 3 frames later...

Love how you're sitting in a room full of people, many of whom have almost certainly cleared these stages dozens of times, convinced that you're the only one who knows the truth.

[Arevi]

Record it and prove it then, show the example you are stating occurs

[Carl Brutananadilewski]

Don't make it hostile, folks. I've never seen this happen but if you can find a way to replicate it then document it to the best of your ability and report that back.

[Milkymalk]

I'm with Raelic here. I saw this too, it happens so fast that you might miss it.

[Micer]

I tried it again with laurel and the lancet and was able to see how it works. The screen flashes as all the enemies wipe out, you have a few frames and he is on top of you. With the laurel he doesn't instant kill you and if you get lucky with the lancet you can kite him around. I made it 19 seconds on my first try with that setup.

It is hard to miss, and you did so. The people telling you that you are wrong have a LOT of experience with this game. There is a minimum distance that a boss spawns away from you.
Funny how there isn't a screen shot, or video of the tens of thousands of people playing with a boss ever spawning on them. From you tubers, to twitch players, to all of us vets in the discord.
The boss can not spawn on you man, I don't know what else to say, if you won't be convinced then that is on you. But you missed the boss, straight up. It happens to me sometimes too, I just got ganked by a Witch who I didn't see spawn because I looked 1 second away to talk to one of my kids and then when I looked back she was killing me. When there's hundreds of enemies on the screen at the same time filled with explosions and effects going off, it IS very hard to see them appear. But that is what's happening. Sorry man. Good luck on the next runs.

!00% right. Everytime it happens to me i say "gawd damn boss spawned on top of me again!" then i realized it probably slowly walked up to me but i was too busy reading a text on my phone as it usually happens. Easier to blame the game though lol

[Jay Ren]

Yeah, even "recorded" instances so far have turned out to have just been missed. The 25 minute boss just blends in, doesn't get knocked back and at that point you often have enough projectiles to hide it's approch.

Had a game today where he came in under the projectile rainbow of Vandelier and nearly died before spotting something like 3 visable pixals.

I've died 3 times where I flat out didn't see him. Based on the time he didn't spawn on top of me.

That said, if there /is/ a legitimate bug here, it'll be something stopping them being drawn, not a direct spawn on top.
