** Late runs too when you revisit levels and have bosses spawning randomly. You can run from almost any other boss and the ones that attack globally generally are still easily to avoid, but Magma Worms stand out in their ability to chase you constantly with attacks that are more difficult to dodge than "avoid this crosshair". A pack of 2 or 3 of them can cause issues for even end game characters.

** Certain combinations of the artifacts are this. One of the most notable is a combination of [[GlassCannon Glass]] and [[LuckManipulationMechanic Command]]. Glass causes you to deal 500% damage, but you only have 10% of your maximum health. However, Command allows you to actually pick which items you get from chests and shrines, meaning that, if you're lucky enough, you can get an Infusion as early as the first level. Combine that with all of the free useful items that you're going to be getting, and the game becomes a breeze due to the fact that Infusion all but completely negates the fact that you have a very, very small health bar.

** The [[DegradedBoss Wandering Vagrants on the final level]]. They spawn in packs and have too much collective health. Sure they can't hurt you if you keep walking, but since they're blocking your shots and just generally being in the way for several minutes at a time that's not much consolation.

You're trapped all alone on an unknown planet full of monsters and aliens that ''should'' be docile, but for some reason go into homicidal fury whenever they see you. The "upgrades" that are essential to your survival are, with few exceptions, essentially mutations, ranging from the mundane (fungus on your head that heals you), to outright BodyHorror (replacing your own eye with the eye of the Magma Worm, cutting yourself with a cultist knife, etc). If you read the monster logs from start to finish, it becomes clear that the survivor is [[SanitySlippage slowly but surely breaking down]] as a result of the hell they go through, [[spoiler:and the ending all but confirms this]].
