Moonlighter 2 Dafest Miniboss (Guardian of Disco-Hell)

Dafest, the Guardian of Disco-Hell, is one of the two minibosses on Moonlighter 2's Kalina – Day Realm floor. It appears at the halfway point of the run and drops Broken Microphone.

Where you fight it

  • Title: Guardian of Disco-Hell.
  • Floor: Kalina – Day Realm.
  • Appears at the halfway point of the run, before the floor boss.
  • Drop: Broken Microphone (used for that dimension's early weapon upgrades).

How to beat it

Dafest spawns with two or three helpers. Kill the helpers first: taser and stun effects wear off much faster on the miniboss itself, so clearing the adds makes the crowd control stick.

Elites and minibosses do not enter the Rupture state, so the backpack throw only works on their adds, not on the miniboss.

Drop

Dafest drops Broken Microphone.
