One of the earliest major bosses you’ll encounter on your journey to cleanse the five beacons of Mournstead inLords of the Fallenthe Congregator of Flesh. After falling through a ramshackle wooden bridge above its lair while trying to reach a pesky crossbowman, you’ll come face-to-face with the grotesque monster.
You’ll need to get past it in order to progress into the swamps of Forsaken Fen, but there’s just one problem — the Congregator of Flesh wants to, well,congregate your flesh. It’s a hungry beast, after all, and dinner (that’s you!) just fell right into its den. That means you’ll need to defeat it to press forward, and we’re here to help you do just that with a full overview of the boss fight. This includes the boss' full moveset, as well as tips about the strategies we recommend using (as well as some helpful consumables you should keep handy).
How to beat The Congregator of Flesh
The Congregator of Flesh seems quite difficult at first, but it’s actually not too bad of a fight once you understand how it works. Here’s what you need to know.
As long as you stay patient, remember to time your dodges properly, and avoid the poison gas created by the boss' body slams, you’ll eventually fell the Congregator of Flesh and emerge from its gory sanctuary victorious. Make sure to go into Umbral and use the Umbral Lamp to activate the Stigma in it before you leave, though, as it’ll give you the Remembrance of the Congregator of Flesh. You can take this back to Skyrest and trade Umbral Scourings to Molhu in exchange for the boss equipment it gives you access to.
