The Forsaken is a new boss added in Afterbirth that can appear in all environments of Chapter 2. It is the posthumous version of The Haunt.

Behavior[edit | edit source]

The Forsaken will spawn 1-2 Bonies.
- While at least one Bony is still alive, the Forsaken will disappear.
- Every tear shot toward the Forsaken during this phase will go through it, having the same effect as if the tear had a piercing effect.
When the last Bony dies:
- The Forsaken will reappear, becoming vulnerable to attacks and firing three rotating Brimstone lasers. After doing this, it will spawn 1-2 Bonies again.

Black: Spawns 1-2 Black Bonies instead of Bonies. Spinning brimstone attack is replaced with spawning 4 Dank Death's Heads and resuming invincibility for 1 second.

The design of what is presumably an early model of the Forsaken, along with those of other Afterbirth/Afterbirth† bosses, by Edmund McMillen.

When The Forsaken disappears, it hides its eyesockets with its arm-like bones. This is a reference to Boos from the Mario franchise.
The Forsaken appears to be The Haunt without its ghostly exterior.
