How to find Sallos?

[StenioHenrique]

I'm going crazy. I've beaten the game 3 times and never found Sallos, one time.. i see Botis 3 times in the same castle. I need to find Sallos to get the last achievement. Anyone help me?

This is based on luck, any of the huge portraits have a chance to be Sallos so make sure to hit them to make sure. They are quite rare to encounter so keep playing, I typically encounter one in every playthrough, so you must be out of luck.

He only appears in the castle?

Would think it's a 1 in 5 chance of any miniboss room being this thing but it is actually a little lower for this one I think, because it only seems to spawn in a room with a particular exit layout (left or right only). That doesn't really help finding it much though since you can't see the whole map on a fresh search.

What does help is the Spelunker, since a lot of the special rooms they mark will be miniboss rooms. You can further increase the odds of them being miniboss rooms by reading all the journals, that'll knock those out of the pool.
