  • (in Repentance) Only in Error: The given stage ("The Catacombs") does not exist. and the Flooded CavesFlooded Caves.

Behavior

  • Spawns 1-2 Bonies.
    • While at least one Bony is still alive, the Forsaken becomes incorporeal and floats erratically around the room.
    • Every tear shot towards the Forsaken during this phase passes through it.
  • When all Bonies are killed, The Forsaken moves to the center of the room before reappearing and firing three rotating Collectible Brimstone iconBrimstone lasers.
    • Afterwards it stays vulnerable for a few moments before spawning 1-2 Bonies and repeating the process

Champion Versions Needs to be unlocked

Trivia

  • It is the posthumous version of The Haunt.
  • When The Forsaken disappears, it covers its eyesockets with its arm-like bones. This is most likely a reference to Boos from the Mario franchise.
  • The Forsaken appears to be The Haunt without its ghostly exterior.
  • During the versus screen, the Forsaken's Bony-spawning sound can be heard. The Forsaken is one of seven bosses that can be heard during the versus screen, the other six being The Stain, Big Horn, Mom, Mom's Heart (pre-Repentance), It Lives (pre-Repentance) and Mother.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) The Forsaken can be found in (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)The VoidThe Void, even before being unlocked.
