Argus was a leader of the necromantic organization assembled for research in the Lost Halls. He specialized in the destabilizing magic, a necessary component for extracting souls from living bodies. After the Void Entity took control of the Marble Colossus, he and his four remaining associates retreated beneath the facility to hide from the calamity. |

Argus is found on one corner of the pentagram in the middle of the Cultist Hideout boss room. Note that when he is pushed to a phase transition threshold, he will heal himself to that threshold (so players cannot overdamage him).
Before the battle begins, the cultists have some dialogue. Argus is the first to speak and taunt “What is this?”.
When the battle begins, he will teleport around, stopping to fire X-shaped bursts of Purple Shots. When reaching 85% HP, he will teleport back to his original location. When this happens he will taunt “You will be our next offering!”. Once all 5 cultists reach this threshold, they will summon Molek and disappear.
Once Molek is dead, the process repeats, with the only difference being that the Cultists now fire 3-burst spreads of their projectile shapes instead of single ones. On returning for the second time, Argus will taunt “Your fate was sealed the moment you entered these halls!”. Once all of them have been damaged to 65% HP, and they will summon Balaam and vanish again.
Once Balaam is dead, the process repeats, but this time the Cultists will fire 5-round bursts of their shapes. On returning for the third time, Argus will taunt “Deplorable marauders!”. Once all five of them reach 25% HP, they will sacrifice themselves to empower Malus and start the second phase of the fight. His sacrifice taunt is “May this please Azamoth!”.
None.
