Boss: The Commander

Learn how to defeat The Commander boss in Lords of the Fallen (2014). Get tips on loot drops, including the Sealed Rune, Commander Shield, and Arrowhead weapon.

Alright, so you've made it to The Commander! This is a pretty straightforward boss fight, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind, especially regarding the loot you get afterward.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Commander is a boss, so expect a decent health pool and some tough attacks. Specific weaknesses aren't detailed in the source, so focus on learning his attack patterns.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Fight
   Engage The Commander. The source doesn't detail specific phases or attack patterns, so pay close attention to his movements and telegraphs. Dodge and block as needed, and look for openings to attack.

Strategy:

• Focus on learning The Commander's attack patterns. Since this is a boss fight, patience and observation are key.
• Don't get greedy with your attacks. Hit a few times when you see an opening, then back off to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
• Keep an eye on your health and stamina. Use potions if you need to, and don't let your stamina run out when you need to dodge.

• After you defeat The Commander, make sure to loot his body! You'll find a Sealed Rune (Big), a Shield (Tower - Commander Shield), and a Weapon (Fist - Arrowhead).
• There's also a special condition for another weapon: If you put the Shard of Heroes in a statue earlier in the game, you can head back to the statue that The Commander destroyed during the fight. There, you'll find a new weapon: either a Dagger - Revenge, a Sword - Warrior, or a Hammer - Cleric. It's definitely worth checking out if you met the requirement!

Once the fight is over and you've collected your loot, look for a large archway opposite where you entered the area. Head through it and climb the stairs; a cut-scene will play, moving you forward in the story.
