Learn how to beat He Who Dwells in inFAMOUS: Second Son! This guide covers all three phases of the boss fight, recommended powers, and the crucial Karma choices you'll make.
Alright, so you've made it to the big angel fight! This one's called He Who Dwells, and trust me, it looks way more intimidating than it actually is. We're gonna break this down phase by phase, and you'll be sending this guy back to wherever he came from in no time. You'll want to keep your Cinder Missiles and Phosphor Beams handy, as those are your best bets here.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Recommended Powers: Cinder Missiles, Phosphor Beams
- Weak Points: The boss itself, and supporting angels in Phase 3.
Phases:
- Phase 1: You'll be hopping between platforms, just like in the intro. Your main goal here is to just keep pelting He Who Dwells with your chosen powers. Don't worry too much about fancy maneuvers; just focus on dealing consistent damage.
- Phase 2: This is where things start to ramp up. The boss will become temporarily invulnerable, and the platforms you're standing on will begin to fall into the lava below. Keep an eye out for new stable platforms that appear – you'll need to jump to them quickly to avoid taking damage from the lava. The boss's blast attack will also escalate to multiple explosions.
- Phase 3: Get ready for the final push! In this phase, smaller angels will appear and create a protective barrier around He Who Dwells. You absolutely need to take these smaller angels out first. A single shot should be enough to deal with them and drop the barrier, allowing you to damage the main boss again.
Strategy:
- Throughout the fight, you'll find sources for both Cinder Missiles and Phosphor Beams on various platforms. Make sure to replenish your ammo whenever you can.
- Keep an eye on the boss's laser attack; it's similar to the ones you've seen before, so you should have a feel for dodging it.
- The large blast attack is the one you need to be most careful about, especially as it multiplies in later phases. Dodge out of the way as soon as you see it charging.
- Use the vents that propel you into the air. They're great for getting a better angle on the boss or for quickly repositioning yourself if a platform starts to crumble.
- Once you've defeated He Who Dwells, you'll find yourself back in the basement. Just walk around until you're transported again to trigger the next sequence.
- After this intense battle, you'll be presented with a crucial choice: either corrupt Eugene (Evil Karma) or redeem him (Good Karma). This decision will impact the rest of your story, so choose wisely! Once you've made your choice, the mission concludes.
