    • In The VoidThe Void, only the randomly selected Boss room will grant Sol's effect.
  • Does not activate with bosses killed during Boss RushBoss Rush.
  • Despite being on a different floor, Sol's effect persists for ?????? and thus contributes to the Boss Hush ingameHush fight.
  • Upon defeating a multi-segment boss where all pieces die at the end (Chub, C.H.A.D, Carrion Queen, etc.), the effect activates once per segment, leading to an effective +3 luck and +9 damage until leaving the room, after which, the extra bonuses will be removed. It's probably a bug.
  • Sol will not activate upon clearing the Mirrored World's Boss Room.
