Bamboo Hatted Kim Enemy

Bamboo-hatted Kim is a notable character in the games Library of Ruina and Limbus Company, developed by Project Moon. As a mentor of the Blade Lineage, his presence in both games adds depth to the narrative and offers players challenging encounters. His distinctive appearance, somber demeanor, and complex backstory make him a memorable figure in the Project Moon universe.

Appearance and Characteristics

Bamboo-hatted Kim is a tall figure whose true features are obscured by his signature bamboo hat and traditional Blade Lineage attire. He wears untied robes over a gray dress suit, complete with a white dress shirt and a red tie. Black gloves adorn his hands, and he carries a Blade Lineage jikdo, typically unsheathed, in his right hand. His bamboo hat is notably damaged on the left side, revealing a blazing azure eye beneath. This eye, along with his attire, contributes to his imposing and enigmatic presence.

Distorted Form

Under the influence of the Monolith, Bamboo-hatted Kim’s appearance undergoes significant changes. His robes and dress attire become elongated, bloodied, and ragged. The bamboo hat becomes more damaged, and the intensity of his blazing blue eye increases. A dark aura surrounds him, and his sword becomes more elongated and bloodied. Additionally, he wears a metal mask resembling a Dokkaebi, a Korean goblin, further emphasizing his transformation into a Distortion.

Personality and Behavior

Bamboo-hatted Kim speaks rarely, often in a solemn and verbose tone. Even when facing certain death or under the influence of the Monolith, he maintains a calm demeanor, showing no sign of hesitation in battle. He views those without scars or signs of former injury as cowards and does not permit them to join or train in the Blade Lineage. As a Distortion, his lack of emotion becomes more apparent, focusing solely on combat and attacking anything within his sword’s range.

Backstory and Role in the Story

Originally from S Corp’s Nest, Bamboo-hatted Kim was a devoted bodyguard to an official aiming to root out corruption in the Wing. Sharing his protectee’s ideals, Kim believed it honorable to be a protector of the virtuous.” However, he was unable to save his protectee from assassins sent by corrupt officials, leading to his own survival and possible revenge. Forced to flee with his followers, he sought refuge in various territories, eventually leading them to the Backstreets of T Corp. There, they clashed with the Kurokumo Clan and received an invitation from the Library. Accepting the invitation, they were defeated and turned into books within the Library.

In Limbus Company, Bamboo-hatted Kim returns from his book form alongside his followers. He becomes the main antagonist of Intervallo III Yield My Flesh to Claim Their Bones. During this event, he faces off against the Sinners, leading to intense battles that test the players’ strategies and combat skills.

Combat Strategies and Tips

Defeating Bamboo-hatted Kim requires careful planning and understanding of his abilities. He is a negative coin enemy, meaning his sanity increases when he loses clashes. To mitigate this, players should aim to win as many clashes as possible or even tank an attack to prevent his sanity from rising. Additionally, he has a shield that grants him 200 HP at the start of battle. If this shield is not broken before he uses his powerful attack, “To Claim Their Bones,” it gains +10 Clash Power, making it more dangerous.

To counteract this, players should focus on staggering him before he can use “To Claim Their Bones.” Utilizing abilities that inflict status effects like bind or attack down can help in this endeavor. For example, Meursault’s “Chain of Others” can be effective in reducing his offensive capabilities. It’s also advisable to avoid using sinking abilities, as they can inadvertently empower him due to his negative coin nature.

Recommended Team Composition

• Blade Lineage MembersCharacters like Meursault and Aeng-du, who have abilities that synergize well with Bamboo-hatted Kim’s weaknesses, can be valuable assets.
• Slash Damage DealersSince he is weak to slash attacks, incorporating characters that deal significant slash damage can expedite the battle.
• Support CharactersUnits that can provide buffs, debuffs, or healing can help sustain your team and manage the prolonged fight.

Bamboo-hatted Kim stands out as a complex and formidable character in the Library of Ruina and Limbus Company universes. His intricate design, layered backstory, and challenging combat mechanics make him a memorable antagonist. Understanding his history, appearance, and battle strategies enhances the player’s experience and appreciation of the depth Project Moon has infused into their games.
