Master the Heaven's Hellfire boss fight in Hyper Light Breaker. Learn strategies for all three rounds against He Who Dwells, including platforming, cover, and angel mechanics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After parting ways with Reggie, enter the Angel Master's lair. Walk around the vests on the left and approach the screens in the corner to begin Round 1.
  2. 2
    Round 1: Use light streams to reach platforms. Absorb Neon from purple crystals to recharge. Shoot He Who Dwells with Heavy Ammo and regular shots. After dealing some damage, he will disappear, and you will be cast out of his realm.
  3. 3
    Exit the lair through the open gate and approach the next large screen to be sucked back in for Round 2.
  4. 4
    Round 2: Absorb energy and attack He Who Dwells. Use platform columns for temporary cover, but be aware they can break. The indestructible Neon crystals offer the best protection. When platforms fall, avoid the lava and quickly move to rising or stable platforms. Recharge energy and reorient yourself to continue attacking. Repeat this sequence as his health lowers, moving between platforms and recharging. Continue until his health is around 1/3 remaining.
  5. 5
    Exit the area and proceed through the red "Cole McG's" doors to the next set of monitors for Round 3.
  6. 6
    Round 3: The combat mechanics are similar, but He Who Dwells will gain an additional angel to protect him each time he moves. These angels create an impenetrable barrier. Shoot the angels (they take 1-2 shots) to destroy their barrier before attacking He Who Dwells. His attacks will become stronger and more frequent, and he will destroy your cover. Lure his slower attacks to one side of a platform, jump over them, and move to the other side to dodge. Reduce his health to zero to defeat him.
Tips
  • Make liberal use of Heavy Ammo throughout the fight.
  • Neon crystals are indestructible and provide the best cover.
  • When platforms fall, prioritize moving to stable or rising platforms and avoid the lava.
  • In Round 3, focus on eliminating the protecting angels quickly to break the barrier.
  • He Who Dwells' attacks are slower than your movement, allowing you to dodge by luring them and repositioning.
