|
|
Lagon, The Eldritch God of the Deep, is a formidable boss in Last Epoch, featured prominently in Chapter 7 of the main storyline, The Might of the Gods, and also as the final boss in the Ending the Storm Monolith Timeline. Known as the god of the sea, storms, and moon, Lagon rules the Western seas with his massive, scale-covered body and powerful webbed claws. His arena, the Seafloor Colosseum, sets the stage for one of the most challenging and memorable encounters in the game.
Lore and Setting
Lagon is depicted as an unpredictable and temperamental sea giant who rarely interacts directly with his subjects, instead relying on his right-hand, Architect Liath, a prophet-like figure who mediates between him and his people. The storyline reveals Lagon’s volatile nature—he sulks in his underwater temple, prone to tantrums that could devastate entire cities. Players learn that Lagon once saved Liath’s life and granted her some of his power, but he remains a distant and enigmatic deity.
The Boss Fight
The fight against Lagon is a three-phase battle that progressively intensifies in difficulty. Players first encounter him around level 50 in the campaign, but he also appears in the Ending the Storm timeline as a climactic challenge.
1. Phase 1 and 3: Players engage Lagon directly, but he is invulnerable to damage unless his tentacles are destroyed first. His attacks combine Cold, Lightning, and Physical damage, requiring players to have balanced resistances.
2. Phase 2: Players face adds (additional enemies) while focusing on killing Lagon’s tentacles to expose him for damage.
Mechanics and Challenges
Lagon is infamous for his deadly one-shot mechanics, including the devastating Moon Beam attack that sweeps across the arena and can instantly kill most builds. His melee claw attacks can stun players, especially the left claw slam, which can lead to catastrophic combos if not avoided. Players must carefully position themselves, using traversal skills to dodge his claw grabs and slams, which are telegraphed by Lagon raising his arms.Other key mechanics include:
1. Tentacle attacks that require quick reaction to avoid.
2. A laser attack that, combined with claw stuns, can cause instant death.
3. The fight demands mastery of movement and timing to survive the punishing damage and avoid lethal combos.
Strategy and Preparation
To defeat Lagon, players must:
1. Cap resistances to Cold, Lightning, and Physical damage.
2. Prioritize destroying tentacles to make Lagon vulnerable.
3. Use traversal skills to dodge claw attacks and avoid the Moon Beam.
4. Maintain awareness of positioning to avoid one-shot mechanics.
Summary
Lagon’s defeat is pivotal in the storyline, granting players his blessing and progressing the quest to unite the gods against the encroaching void. His domain, the island and temple, are rich with lore and hostile creatures like the Meruna—sea-dwelling isopod-like minions bound to his will. The encounter with Lagon and his architect Liath reveals deep narrative layers about divine politics, loyalty, and the fragile balance of power in the world of Last Epoch.
