In The Bazaar, enemies don’t just threaten your health bar—they also bring unique talents that can heavily influence combat and your build strategy. Many of these talents provide passive boosts, trigger on conditions like Burn, Freeze, or Poison, or even buff the items you carry.
This The Bazaar Enemy Talents Guide is a complete collection of enemy talents I’ve compiled from encounters, organized so you can quickly reference them while planning your runs. Some enemies also drop items, Temple Expedition Tickets, or have special interactions worth noting.

Enemy talents in The Bazaar are more than flavor—they’re mechanics you can exploit if you understand them. Some enemies will punish poor planning (like Infernal Dreadnought with Pyromania), while others can actually empower your run with the right item synergy.
Keeping a mental list is tough, so hopefully this written guide helps you quickly reference what each enemy can do and what you can expect in their encounters.
