Infected Golem: Found on floor 39/40, the infected golem phases in and out of battlefield when struck, swarming the player with golems and bats. Drops - (25%) Gem Eyes, 5 Copper Bars I recommend a level 3 weapon for this fight with some food, a glow ring helps too.

Drops - (25%) Dust Helm, 3 Iron Bars, 13 coal, (10%) Holy Blade A level 3-5 weapon with some food should be good for this fight as well. Speed buff food helps a lot.

Bosses can only be fought once per day. If any of the bosses seem too hard/ easy for a difficulty let me know and I might change them to be harder/easier.
Included in the configuration are options to change difficulty, re-enable the use of staircases on boss floors, guarantee the drop of cosmetics from bosses, change how much leeway time is given per day to fight bosses and disable boss health bars / titles.
This mod hasn't been fully tested for multiplayer / split screen coop - it should work fine but let me know of any bugs! The health bars/titles don't always appear correctly on differing viewports, ui-scales and zoom levels. A fix will be worked on, but feel free to disable them if they cause issues. Harmony is used for the staircase prevention which can be disabled.
