Forsaken

Forsaken is the beast that guards the bridges of the Forlorn Hollows, one of the cave biomes of Alex’s Caves. It is a boss of The Caverns chapter, which is linked from Act III, and its level of 400 or more puts it far above any player.

Location#

The Forsaken waits on the bridges of the Forlorn Hollows. Soulrend reaches the Forlorn Hollows through a dimension: the Pagan Round Medallion key teleports the player there (see Alex's Caves Dimensions).

Stats#

The Forsaken’s level is at least 400, plus a random 0–40, up to 440 (see Mob Levels).
