Death also takes -50% knockback, meaning they’re actively pushed towards the player when damaged. Death has HP equal to 655,350 times the player's level. So if you’re level 50, Death will have 32,767,500 HP. 

The only way to defeat Death is to cheese him somehow. Whether you can stun lock him with the Clock Lancet, somehow survive with a low level meaning his HP remains low, or otherwise defeat him using some kind of game modification.

When unlocked, the Mask of the Red Death is one of the best characters in the game. Starting with an evolved weapon means you’re effectively unkillable until the 30-minute mark, when Death spawns.
