Combat Strategy

The Forsaken can only be damaged after his armor has been destroyed by completing the boss mechanics, which involve charging one of the Aetherium Cannons with Dark Aether Energy provided by Samantha Maxis after you have charged her by killing zombies within her ring. Afterward, he can be damaged by regular weapons however, they will be ineffective compared to the Aetherium Cannons.
