Enemies

Slow-moving, glowing orbs that home in on Fiona's Azoth scent rather than sight or sound. Touching one disintegrates it and triggers a random spike of panic, and the noise it makes can draw real pursuers toward you — worse, it drowns out the area music, which is normally your first clue that something dangerous is close.

Wandering figures that mutter Azoth-like nonsense, bang their heads against walls, or lick the floor. Mostly harmless background threats, but a handful react violently if provoked — best left alone entirely.

Embryonic creatures that lunge for Fiona's legs and shriek once attached, spiking her panic and potentially calling in whatever else is nearby. A few solid kicks dissolve them in a burst of red smoke, or you can let Hewie tear one off.

The gardener — physically overpowering despite his childlike mind, and the first real pursuer Fiona has to shake. He can be beaten down through direct combat, but dropping the Entrance Hall chandelier on him while he's lured underneath ends the chase cleanly and without spending supplies.

The maid, and the first pursuer to make it clear something's deeply wrong with the castle's staff. Her boss encounter is a puzzle fight: shove four blocks onto their floor pads with Hewie running interference, then draw her onto the room's central mirror to end it.

The hooded, gun-carrying butler, fixated on claiming Fiona rather than simply stopping her. He turns invisible during his Underground Cavern and Water Tower pursuit, and can't actually be beaten in a straight fight — the win condition is luring him against the tower's weak walls and having Hewie shove him through onto the Diorama mechanism below.

The old man in the wheelchair, revealed as the true mastermind behind everything happening in the castle once Chapter 4 begins. Almost immobile — he can't open doors and has to crawl — but dangerous enough that the fight is built around trapping him with the Golden Candlestick before finishing him off on the Conveyor Belt.

Lorenzo's true, restored form and the castle's real final boss — cunning, fast, and immune to nearly everything in Fiona's arsenal except Hewie and fire. The Lava Pit Room's fan switches and loose rocks are there to be used against him, since brute force alone won't get it done.

What's left of Lorenzo after Young Lorenzo falls: a screaming, burning corpse that refuses to stay dead, chasing Fiona through a House of Truth that's actively collapsing around her. There's no strategy here beyond fleeing for the Caverns of Truth and pushing past the statue blocking the way out before he catches up.
