Black Star

Black Star
Description	Elites drop an additional Relic when defeated.
Flavor	Originally discovered in the town of the serpent, beside a solitary candle.
Rarity	Boss
Class	Any

Black star is a Boss Relic. It causes elites to drop two relics instead of only one. Black Star has no effect in events, even though e.g. Preserved Insect triggers in Dead Adventurer and The Colosseum.

Strategy

Has great synergy with the "elite killer relics": Preserved Insect, Sling of Courage (can only be found in shops) and Slaver's Collar (boss relic).

Trivia

Black Star's flavor text references the song of the same name by David Bowie. The song includes the lyric "In the villa of Ormen, stands a solitary candle." Ormen means serpent in Norwegian, and it is the name of a village in Norway.
