King Midas wears a full set of Golden Armor at the beginning of his fight, providing a high amount of ❈ Defense. King Midas loses his boots at 10% of his ❤ Health missing, his Leggings at 30% of his ❤ Health missing, and his Chestplate at 60% of his ❤ Health missing. Every lost piece of armor lowers his ❈ Defense significantly, making King Midas much easier to fight as the battle progresses.
Trivia[]
Under normal circumstances, in The Catacombs - Floor 7, King Midas has 4M❤ health. However, if you clear every room except the Midas room, and use a Conjuring / Guided Sheep to blow up the crypt without walking into the room, then the next time you walk in following that, King Midas will have an upwards of 11M❤ heath.
Interestingly enough, the same applies to all floors where King Midas can spawn.
The description of Midas Jewel and the name of its ability imply that King Midas has a brother named Byron.
Three months after the release of King Midas, an item with same ability as the one used by him was released, Midas Staff.
Prior to the 0.19.4 Update, simply spawning King Midas would mark his room as completed, and killing him had no effect on the Party's Dungeon Score.
