Black Philip is a miniboss in The Dark Cathedral. Under the custom appearance it is a Ravager, with a 6× health multiplier and a 0.66× damage multiplier.
Its kit is simple in the dangerous way: projectiles do nothing, knockback does nothing, and getting hit can either launch you away or send you upward.

How to Beat It
Do not build the plan around arrows or thrown tridents; projectile immunity shuts those down. Knockback will not create breathing room either, so expect to handle the fight without pushing Black Philip away.
The real nuisance is contact. Its hits can launch you away or give you Levitation I for 5 seconds, so keep your positioning tidy and be ready for the fight to move vertically whether you wanted that feature or not.
