Brainiac
Brainiac is a mutant from the Toxic Caves of Alex’s Caves that fights with barrels and a long tongue. The Caverns chapter (see Fabled Realms), linked from Act III, asks for one kill.
Unlike the other bosses of the chapter, Brainiac is a regular spawning mob with no level floor and no damage cap.
Spawning#
Brainiacs spawn naturally as hostile mobs in the Toxic Caves, in groups of 1–2. The Emerald Arsenic Copper Uranium key teleports the player there (see Alex's Caves Dimensions).
Stats#
Brainiac has no level setting, so its level matches the Soulrend level of the nearest player. The columns use the typical levels of the acts in which players visit the caves (see Mob Levels).
