The Heartless One

"'Pathetic Trash!'" The Heartless One is a New God that can be encountered in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. She is an optional encounter that requires setup to find and beat. The effort of defeating her is rewarded with two unique and powerful drops. Once summoned, the fight with The Heartless One is immediately initiated.

Lore
A new god that seems to despise her divine peers, The Heartless one was somehow locked away at the Church of Alll-mer located at Prehevil. Despite the immense strength she showcases in battle, she is apparently unable to free herself from the multiple chains that hold her in an alternate dimension of this church, requiring the help of someone who comes across the key to unlock said chains.

Location

 * On the 2F of the Crypt, 'Church of Alll-Mer - Level 2', navigate to the Rusty Lever at the north-west and pull it.
 * Enter a prison cell at the eastern end of the corridor that unlocks and pick up the Rusty Key item on the ground.
 * Navigate to the far west of the corridor and enter the room with the Winged Being statue.
 * Interact with it to reach out and grab the item the statue is holding, the Martyr Effigy.
 * Proceed south from the statue and interact with the badly mutilated corpse. Investigate it and then feel it out to obtain the Church Keys.
 * Head back to the lever corridor and proceed south. At the western room at the end draw the sigil of Rher. This teleports you to a new location.
 * Continue all the way to the east and open the gate with the Church Keys.
 * Within the room is a chained up person or being. Use the Rusty Key to undo the chains. The being disappears and you pick up the Heart-shaped lock.
 * Proceed to the unused Ritual circle in the Church and give and offering of the Heart-shaped lock.
 * The Heartless One will then rise from a pool of blood.

Abilities
The new god has a wide array of attacks, most of wich are magic based. Aside this, they have a turn end skill, meaning it will activate at their end of their turn, wich is usually fatal. They also have two support skills wich can slow and blind the player.

Strategy
This boss will challenge you to a 1 on 1 fight once you summon her and engage you alone even if you refuse.

Due to her using a lot of spells the severed head comes in handy, as it can reflect some of her attacks. Having perfect guard can also help mitigate some of the damage she can dish. For good measure a talisman can be used to improve one's magic defense.

Any defense buff such as Goulash+ will greatly decrease the damage done to you and can help you not get 2 shot. That is if you have master chef skill unlocked

Poison tip and counter stance can be very effective to finish her off

As for fighting her using status effects can be effective, despite all this it is recommended to use extreme caution as her turn ending skill hits once for several times and then once more. Unlike the regular attacks, the turn ending skill is deals physical damage, so a mix of both physical and magical defense is encouraged for this fight. Her multi-hit sword skill will always remove one of your arms if it hits even once regardless of perfect guard, possible bug.

Surviving long enough will make her show her wings which work similar to Per'kele's wing attack.

Using steal on her will grant a Yggaegetsu amulet accessory which adds 15% crit rate

Trivia
