Jack and the Beanstalk
The boy who climbed, robbed a giant and was called a hero for it — the last boss of the opening run at 45.5%, and the game's first question about what 'hero' means.
Fight Notes
The final teacher of Phase 1. By now the game expects target priority, buff usage and patience; Jack examines all three.
Note the inversion: in the tale, Jack is the plucky protagonist and the giant is the monster. In the Lost Empire, the climber with the stolen goods is the thing you fight. BLACK SOULS spends its whole runtime interrogating heroes who rose 'seeking fame and glory' — the Steam blurb's words.
Past him, the completion curve drops into the middle acts (44.8% and below). Take stock of your build before descending.
