Heaven on High Guide for Floors 41-50
On floors 41-50, the Accursed Horde will take the form of a Gold-haloed Sack, and Mimics can spawn from Silver Coffers. You can expect 3-9 kills to be required to proceed between floors, 4-6 Treasure Coffers per floor, 5-7 rooms per floor and 2-3 enemies per room outside of Treasure Rooms, which will have significantly more Coffers and enemies.
Floors 41-49
As the second floorset of the challenge floors, mechanics continue to escalate, though not too significantly outside of a few specific enemies. As always, enemies without significance are excluded from the table below.

Floor 50 Boss - Gozu
The fifth boss of Heaven on High, and the second of the challenge floorsets. A step up in complexity from previous bosses in the deep dungeon, but still not overly challenging.
Boss Rotation Quick-Guide:- Rusting Claw
- Words of Woe
- Eye of the Fire
- The Spin
- Repeat from Rusting Claw
The arena is a circle, with the boss starting at the far side. Some of the attacks used by this boss will have no castbar or telegraph, and instead will require the player to look at the animation of the boss. The boss will begin the encounter with Rusting Claw, an untelegraphed cone-shaped AoE with no castbar. This is signified by the boss raising its arm in preparation to swipe with it. Move away, to the side or behind to dodge it. The boss will then use Words of Woe, an untelegraphed line AoE with no castbar. This is signified by the boss raising both arms. Move to the side or behind to dodge it.
Next, the boss will use Eye of the Fire, an omnidirectional gaze AoE that inflicts confusion for 20s if it hits. Simply look away from the boss to avoid this. Shortly after this, orbs will spawn around the arena and the boss will begin casting The Spin, a telegraphed proximity damage AoE. Move at least halfway across the room from the boss in order to reduce the damage below a lethal level, and make sure to avoid the four sets of telegraphed point-blank AoEs around each of the orbs.
After this point, the boss will begin to loop mechanics. As the last set of point-blank AoEs around the orbs go off, the boss will start to cast Rusting Claw. It is safe to move into the location of an orb if needed, as they will vanish at this point.
On a DPS, you can expect a killtime of about two and a half minutes, or faster with the aid of a Pomander of Strength. On a tank or healer, you can expect a killtime of about three and a half minutes under the same conditions.
