The Marionette
The music-box boss the community loves to hate — wind the box in time to dismiss it, or commit to burst damage before it speeds up.
| Type | Boss |
|---|---|
| Night | Shift 9+ |
| Counter | Winding the music box in time; burst damage only |
The community's most-hated enemy (and the subject of the "how to kill the marionette" threads everywhere):
- Appears from Night/Shift 9 onward. A jack-in-the-box chest spawns and music plays for 10–15 seconds before it emerges.
- Wind the music box in time to dismiss it — that's the intended answer.
- Damage makes it faster. Chip shots turn it into a blender; only commit if you can finish it. Flamethrower kiting works but takes minutes, and fire can catch you too.
- Running outside briefly breaks its pursuit.
- Some guides call this enemy "the Demon" — same monster, different name.
