Estuary Lamech (luh mek) is the first boss of Rogue Legacy 2, located in Citadel Agartha.
Entering the Chamber[]
To enter Lamech's Boss Chamber, you must Spin Kick the two red lanterns outside without touching the ground and within a certain short time limit. The Air Dash power from Ananke's Shawl is required to do this.
Boss Battle[]
Attacks[]
- Dashes towards you with a spear, the dash going from his current position to either border of the arena.
- Raises a staff and starts shooting blue fireballs in a spiral motion. Once enraged, the rate at which the fireballs are shot out of the staff increases considerably.
- Throws 2 waves of 3 spectral knives at you (3 waves when enraged). Keep your distance and jump as needed.
- Slashes forward with a sword, and then summons two large flame geysers (Three geysers when enraged).
- Jumps in the air while swirling an axe much like the barbarian following an arc path, summoning 6 magma orbs evenly spread on both sides upon landing (8 when enraged).
- Fires a massive Gravity Beam approximately his height towards you.
- Enrages at half health, creating a damaging shockwave around him and launching homing fireballs.
Strategy[]
- Lamech's most dangerous attacks are his sword attack, his spinning axe attack, his Gravity Beam spell and the homing fireballs he launches when enraging.
- Avoid the sword attack by waiting for him to slash, then jump on top of Lamech and spin kick him to avoid taking contact damage. He will track you with the flame attack if you are on either side of him when he does it, so wait for him to do it before landing. If you have enough room, you can also just run away from the slash and the flames.
- The magma orbs summoned by the spin attack are the only hard part. There is a safe spot directly above Lamech when he lands. Take advantage of this by dashing towards him and spin kicking him to put you above his head. You can also just dodge the orbs conventionally.
- While the Gravity Beam spell can be dangerous, there is a safe spot right in front of Lamech as he casts it. Run up close between him and the beam to attack him safely.
- For the homing fireballs, use your Talent to dodge or destroy them, or try to bait them into the walls, ground or ceiling by dashing.
Boss Insight[]
If you read Lamech's 4th Memory, he will mention a "Tower of Lights". The Tower of Lights is a room in Citadel Agartha filled with hanging red lanterns and a treasure chest on a ledge at the upper right part of the room. It is the exact same room no matter how many times the Citadel changes. Use a spell or damage Talent on the center of the left wall and it will reveal a hidden entrance. Climb to the top of the tower it leads to, and read the Memory there. After doing so, you will permanently deal +15% damage to Lamech. This only needs to be done once. Even when entering New Game Plus, it will remain active.
