Guide to The Abyss region in Hyper Light Drifter. Learn how to defeat The Immortal Cell boss, unlock outfits, and complete challenging arenas.
Head for the North Eastern part of Central Town and use the teleporter to warp back to the Monolith Gallery.
Walk to the altar in the center of the Monolith Gallery and pick up the OCHRE OUTFIT then warp back to Central Town.
Head to the Weapons shop and buy all the remaining AMMUNITIONS UPGRADES. Walk East from the Tech Shop and you will locate a 12-Keys door near The Drunk. Open it to find the SHINE BRIGHT achievement and an elevator leading to a secret area.
Talk to the people here if you want then walk North and you will find yourself in front of four elevators. Each elevator will take you to an arena filled with enemies from one of the four regions, an infinite number of enemy waves and four arenas, except for the Mountains arena which has five of them. Your goal is to defeat at least 10 waves in a row to complete an arena. The first elevator from the left is the Barren Hills arena, the second one is the Mountains arena, the third one is the Crystal Forest arena and the fourth one is the Lake arena. Complete these four arenas to unlock a path leading to a fifth one, the World arena. After completing this last one, a path leading to the BLACK OUTFIT will appear.
You can now go back outside and use the elevator in the center of the town to plunge deep underground into the final region, The Abyss.
Head South and all the way to the big door. Open it and proceed further on to find five achievements before standing in front of The Immortal Cell.
JUDGEMENT
75 HP
Charge - 2 damage points
Bullet Barrage - 1 damage point per bullet
Hyper Laser - HP goes down as long as you stand in the laser range
Arm Stab - 2 damage points
Light Explosion - 2 damage point per explosion
He is the last boss and he means it. He is fast, powerful, tough and angry.
Dodge his Charging attack then quickly dash to him, use a Charged attack and dash away. Evade his Bullet Barrage any way you can then try to dash behind him as he is charging his Hyper Laser and use another Charged attack as he is firing away from you.
Repeat this pattern and soon after he will try to either Stab you with his arm or hit you with his Light Explosion. For the Arm Stab, dodge this attack and do not try to slash him as he will try to hurt you a second time with this same attack. For his Light Explosion he will launch four dark lights around you so, quickly destroy most of these because as soon as Judgement will reappear they will explode in a large proportion.
As he will lose energy, his attacks will become even more violent. He will Charge at you two times in a row then three times in a row, fire more waves of Bullet Barrage, charge his Hyper Laser faster and use two Arm Stabs in a row.
Once he has lost all his life points, slash him one last time to finish him.
Now that the fight is over, follow The Jackal one last time to end this story.
