The Maw is an Act 3 encounter. Its scaling over time both through buffing and its attacks increasing in intensity combined with its massive health pool make it a very strong enemy, even in act 3. Thus, it is one of the strongest normal combats in the game, and it ends many runs that lack enough scaling to overcome it.

Tips
- While large damage cards such asBludgeon may seem useful for whittling on its large health pool, forms of scaling likeDemon Form orCreative AI work just as well, if not better than, large amounts of damage.
Poison decks supported byCatalyst or that dish out high amounts of Poison quickly are also effective. However,Noxious Fumes alone is probably not enough to overcome the Maw's scaling attacks.
