Wretched Sneak

Wretched Sneak
General Information
Location	Tartarus
Combat Style	Varies
Health	300 (Armor: 700)
Base Damage	4 (darts), 8 (jab)

The Wretched Sneak is a mini-boss found in a unique chamber with a few destructible pillars in Tartarus. It starts appearing in Tartarus once Zagreus has reached the surface at least once. (Defeating the final boss is not necessary.)

It will generally attack in a pattern of a few dart throws, then a melee jab. After this jab, the Sneak dusts off its hands and is quite vulnerable to damage. How many cycles of darts the Sneak throws is random, but it is generally at least two. The Sneak moves through teleporting. These teleports remove any status curses that Zagreus may be able to inflict.

When Middle Management is turned on, it periodically summons Wringer reinforcements from the sides of the chamber, potentially swarming Zagreus if he does not take them down.

Codex entry

'...I am unfit to judge those who, in their mortal days, made work of taking lives. In my case, such bloodshed was sanctioned, even honored as a necessary consequence of war. But there are those who took lives for no cause other than personal gain. And now, even in death, they serve the highest bidder. The Master gives them brief reprieve from Tisiphone's whip in exchange for ensuring the other worst wretches of Tartarus remain firmly in their place. They are not permitted to leave their solitary confinement; but should any other soul trespass there, they are all too eager to ply their old trade.'
