Notes

• After defeating a certain number of enemies (50?) a "chat" link will appear next to your familiar. Clicking it leads to Chatting with your Burly Bodyguard.
• After the first combat with the Burly Bodyguard each ascension, it gets 1 level worth of XP for each Softcore Avant Guard run completed, and 2 levels for each Hardcore Avant Guard run completed. This bonus is capped at 11 levels total, and is applied even if the current ascension is not an Avant Guard one.
