The Doormaker in Slay the Spire 2 is a multi-stage boss fight in Act Three that’s pretty frustrating to deal with. Unlike most enemies, the Doormaker is reluctant to stand and fight you head-on. You can’t attack it right away, and instead have to take down an enemy before you ever get a chance to…
When you come across the Byrdonis Egg in Slay the Spire 2 for the first time, it’s a little confusing. It might not look like much at first glance, but this little egg can end up being one of the most helpful additions to your deck. It does come with a small downside in the…
