The Forgotten is a Zombie boss in The Catacombs with a custom disguise. It has 8× health multiplier, 1.4× damage multiplier, and a defensive kit that makes the usual “just shoot it” plan fall apart immediately.
It is permanently protected from fire and takes no damage from player projectiles. Its sandstorm also creates temporary sandstone and tells nearby players to seek shelter.

Powers and Abilities
- Sand Fall: When The Forgotten is damaged by a player and the cooldown allows it, it can trigger a sandstorm. After a 2.5-second delay it announces that loose sand is falling, shows “Seek shelter!”, then runs sandstone-placement steps after 3 and 3.5 seconds; the temporary sandstone lasts 4.5 and 4 seconds. The script also marks The Forgotten invulnerable when the first sandstone-placement step runs. Active on all difficulties.
- Attack Push: When The Forgotten hits a player, it launches that player directly away from the boss. This has a 10-second global cooldown and is active on all difficulties.
- Fire Invulnerability: The Forgotten has permanent Fire Resistance. Active on all difficulties.
- Arrow Invulnerability: The Forgotten takes no damage from player projectiles, including arrows, tridents, and similar attacks. Active on all difficulties.

How to Beat It
Projectiles do no damage here, and fire is not a shortcut because The Forgotten has permanent Fire Resistance. That leaves you dealing with it up close, where Attack Push can throw you directly away from the boss.
When the sandstorm says “Seek shelter!”, take the warning seriously: temporary sandstone starts appearing a few seconds later. The report also shows an invulnerability step during that mechanic, so forcing damage through the storm is not a plan worth building around.
