Merchant

Behavior
The Merchant of Amberfall sells three basic weapons, Dual Daggers, Hunting Spear and the Battle Axe but you can upgrade available items by purchasing blueprints from the Blueprint Room on your travels.

The merchant also appears in the Shop room in every level, and this one you can attack, and kill. He acts as if a boss, and has a very large HP pool, so come prepared when interested in attempting to overpower him.

He will use a randomly chosen weapon to attack the player and run in circles around the player, while the fire lanterns will constantly attack you.

Strategies
The Fire Lanterns are unattackable, and can be somewhat of a pain to deal with. However, the merchant moves in a constant counterclockwise circle around the room and is somewhat predictable in movement.

Timing your attacks, especially with the bonus damage from a Battle Axe that you bounce off the walls can make this fight quite simple. Typically if you're lucky you'll be able to finish him off and pick up a Health Potion he's selling once you're done.
