Kin

Kin is an artifact that can be found in the Dried Lake Area on a cliff face. The area is accessible by running through an invisible tunnel hidden in the cliff face. The entrance must first be shot open before the puzzle may be attempted. It can be acquired by the commando character by rolling and jumping at the same time, and solving a simple puzzle involving shooting three buttons within a time limit. The Kin artifact forces an area to spawn only one type of enemy not including bosses.

The spawn rate is not increased for monsters that have a naturally lower spawn, such as the jellyfish.

Tips

 * The Kin artifact can be used to easily farm off weaker monsters if they spawn, such as the Lemurian.
 * Activating the teleporter while using the Kin artifact will cause a large amount of the chosen monster to spawn, with most of them being elite monsters.
