Boss: The Abyssal Forge

The Abyssal Forge is a stationary, fire-based boss. Using an ice-based weapon will deal bonus damage.

Strategy:

  1. The Abyssal Forge is stationary. Attack when it slumps over with its head near the platform after launching fireballs.
  2. Get Death close and attack it. If enough damage is dealt, it will enter a stun with its core exposed.
  3. Use Deathgrip to pull the core down to the platform and attack it until the boss resumes attacking.
  4. Continue this pattern, avoiding its fireballs and other attacks. The majority of its moves are easily avoided after a couple of attempts.
  5. Damage the boss enough to end the fight.
Tips
  • Equip an ice-based weapon to deal bonus damage to the fire-based Abyssal Forge.
  • Exploit the brief stun period after attacking to use Deathgrip on its exposed core.
