The Janitor is a Hardmode miniboss that can be found in the first room of the Abandoned Lab after going through the vent above the entrance.
After the initial fight, The Janitor can be re-summoned by using the Hologram Remote in his arena.
While The Janitor is alive, the music Safety Violation will play.
Behavior
The Janitor will jump around the room, performing one of the attacks listed below at random. If The Janitor has the Wet debuff, he will have a 33.33% chance to slip upon landing after a jump. After slipping, his Guard Points will be disabled for 2.67 seconds, allowing the player to deal damage to his health points.
If the player has the T-Bot set equipped, approaching The Janitor will let them pass through without a fight, with The Janitor parting with his Access Panel and disappearing through the door as usual.
Attacks
- Throw a fast
Mop at the player. - Throw a slow, bouncing Mop at the player. If the mop hits The Janitor, it will stun him for 4.33 seconds, reduce his Guard Points to 0, and deal 1,000 damage to him. While stunned, The Janitor takes double damage from attacks. His Guard Points will reset back to full once he recovers.
- Throws a bouncing, gravity-affected
Bucket that spills out Water projectiles, which can inflict the Wet debuff on and deal damage to both the player and The Janitor.
