The Nylocas encountered in the Theatre of Blood have consistent spawning and aggression patterns that many players can use to recognize the highest priority targets.

Below a chart of each wave of Nylocas encountered. The only variable to the waves are how often the waves spawn. Before wave 20, the cap is 12 nylocas; afterwards, the cap is doubled to 24.

In Hard mode, an additional Nylocas Prinkipas will spawn at wave 10, 20, and 30.
