How Celeste beats Viscous

Mystic vs Brawler

Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.

Your game plan as Celeste

A showman. Celeste’s damage only comes out if you attack her — or stand in the light.

Lane
Light Eater marks enemies for extra damage and gives you spirit lifesteal. Dazzling Trick punishes anyone who bursts your barrier.
Mid game
Zone chokes with Radiant Daggers. The explosion is delayed, so place it where enemies will be, not where they are.
Late game
Shining Wonder bounces between grouped enemies and cuts dash distance — throw it into a clumped team before your dive.

How to beat Viscous

A blob of goo who saves allies and punches enemies through walls.

  • 01Don’t burst into The Cube; wait it out.
  • 02Stay away from walls when Goo Ball is up.
  • 03Kill him after The Cube is used.
