Infiltrator - Temple | Bosses Lords of the Fallen Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The Infiltrator prepares his jump just for a moment, but you can change positions, while he is in mid-air.

You find this opponent at the Temple, in the Portal location. You can get there from the Abandoned Field. The boss himself is a bit different than the rest of the opponents, in his shape and speed. Still, he is not too demanding an opponent. It gets more difficult, if you are trying to get some better equipment - you then need to defeat the boss, before all the spells above the arena burst in flames.

Loot:

- Wanderer's crystal (at the first opportunity, you return it to the blacksmith)

- Uras (a polearm)

- A sealed Rune (big)

Attacks

The lying boss.

- jump - the boss prepares his jump only for a moment, which is why you should keep an eye on him. Fortunately, while he is in mid-air, you can easily escape into safety. If you fail, the Infiltrator drops on you.

- "boomerang" - the boss fires glowing, boomerang-shaped, projectiles at you. The projectiles themselves may not deal much damage, but they stun Harkyn, which makes him vulnerable to a short-range attack or a jump. Also this attack is marked just for a moment, when the boss spreads his limbs a bit backwards.

- regular blow - while you are close to the Infiltrator, he will attempt a physical attack. This means that he will be trying to hit you with his weapon. If you block the blows, they do not deal too much damage, but you need to watch out for the third one - the finishing one - pinning you to the ground means more serious damage to you.

- abdomen push-back - the boss starts using this attack after his health drops by, around, a third of the initial value. It is difficult to avoid it, because it is very quick and it is marked only for a moment, when the boss lowers his abdomen. It repels you to a certain distance.

- throwing off of corpse fragments - just like above, the boss starts using this attack after his health drops by a third. The rejected corpses drain your health so, it is a good idea to destroy them quickly. Additionally, the hands may grab you and make you motionless, for a moment. Also, the boss may regenerate his health by "bending" over the bodies - it is a perfect moment to attack him, to make hi healing ineffective.

Tactic

A swipe followed by a slash.

Infiltrator is not too demanding, if only you remain in constant movement and keep an eye on his actions. His attacks are, most usually, signaled only for a brief moment so, it is easy to miss it. Fortunately, they are not that difficult to dodge - the projectiles need a moment to reach the target and also, after he jumps, the boss takes some time to land. You should especially watch out when close to the boss, for his physical attacks, because they deal quite a lot of damage (i.e. the pinning thrust that ends the combo). As soon as the boss's health drops by a third, he will start attacking with his abdomen. Watch out, because the attack is swift and strong and, virtually, impossible to dodge. Additionally, the Infiltrator will start healing from the remains of the corpses. Try to destroy them to prevent excessive effectiveness of that. As soon as he bends over the corpses, his health bar will start to regenerate. Take advantage of this moment and land several blows to his back, to make him lose what he has just regenerated. To sum up: it becomes even more crucial, than in the case of the other battles, to remain in movement and to keep an eye on the signaled attacks. Quite a lot of running around and some dodges and the opponent will not be too problematic. If you use the gauntlet and spells often, fight away from the center of the arena, because the portal keeps draining you, gradually, for magical energy.
