The Millionaire's Bane is a boss in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Description[]
The Millionaire's Bane at first glance resembles a classic "one-armed bandit" slot machine. Upon being confronted or attacked, it reveals a mouth lined with fangs with a large red tongue. The creature's "face" is a three-reel slot machine, which, when activated, can produce a variety of effects.
Location[]
The Millionaire's Bane can be found inside the Millionaire's Room in the Hall of Termination. The room can only be entered with the Millionaire's Key, which is found in the Den of Behemoths.
Combat[]
Upon fighting for the first time, the Millionaire's Bane will immediately attack. In subsequent fights, it will be docile until approached or attacked.
- Lunge: The creature will lunge forward and try to collide with Miriam. This lunge has a reach of at least half the room.
- Jump: Millionaire's Bane will jump into the air, attempting to position itself above Miriam, and dropping on top of her. Regardless of whether or not it hits, the impact will cause doors in the ceiling to open, dropping showers of coins which deal damage.
- Slots: Every time Millionaire's Bane takes damage there is a chance it will stop moving and spin its reels. During this animation it is probably supposed to be invulnerable, though it still takes damage from Welcome Company or Bunnymorphosis. If the reels are not three-of-a-kind Millionaire's Bane will perform a small jump with its tongue out and then resume its normal attack pattern. Each three-of-a-kind produces a specific result:
- Watermelons: Two large red bombs drop from the ceiling doors to the floor: after a short time they will detonate in powerful explosions. They can be moved around by striking them. Millionaire's Bane itself is not damaged by the explosions.
- Bells: Two cannons drop down from the ceiling and fire volleys of three bouncing projectiles each, mirroring each other's firing angles. The right-hand corner of the room is safe during this attack.
- Cherries: A portal opens and spawns a regular Lili to assist the boss.
- Reroll: No effect: Millionaire's Bane will restart its reels and go again. This can happen several times in a row.
- Bars: Normal money rains down from the doors in the roof, totaling ~2,000G.
- 7s (Jackpot): Around 7,000G worth of 100G coins will be produced. At the end of this, Millionaire's Bane dies instantly regardless of its remaining HP, and drops both its Shard, Jackpot, and the Imbrued Fang.
Trivia[]
- Reportedly, increasing the player's LCK stat (by wearing gear, accessories and using shards that boost this stat, such as the Valkyrie Dress, Valkyrie Tiara, two Gambler's Rings, equipping Augment LCK, etc.) also increases the chances of hitting the "Jackpot" and instantly win this boss fight. However, this is unconfirmed.
- Aurora can collect Gold by fighting the Millionaire's Bane. However, the Gold that she collects from the boss is not displayed outside the file select screen and has no gameplay effect; Valefar will fail to collect any from her and die in his healing animation regardless.
