Alastor is a main boss in Infernax. It is the elder demon who reigns in Kadjanto Stronghold and possesses the fifth orb. Its natural habitat is the sewer waters of the stronghold, making it the second boss after Leviathan who can live under the water.

Appearance[]

Alastor is an enormous beast with a wide maw that takes up most of its head, two pair of arms and red-purple skin tone. Its body is too thick to be damaged by any traditional weapons, its only weakest part being the bulge inside of its tongue. The bottom of its body is constantly submerged under the water, therefore there's no way to tell how the demon looks like, although it's possible to see that he has a pair of large legs in its introduction.

Strategy[]

Alastor will remain underwater for most of the fight, only coming out to attack in one of three ways. It can attack with two fireball attacks; one where it spits multiple fireballs very quickly, and another where it spits them out slowly, trying to track the player's movement. Alastor's third attack is a quick chomp, where he'll quickly emerge from the water to try and eat the player before going back underwater. You can tell where Alastor will emerge thanks to the water splashes in the acid below.

The only way to damage Alastor is to hit the inflated part of its tongue, revealed after finishing one of its two fireball attacks. After hitting it, the demon will hide under the water again quickly, usually after one hit. The boss chomps the air as it retracts its tongue, so after hitting it, be sure to jump out of the way to avoid the boss's follow up attack.

It's recommended to stay as far away from Alastor as possible when it emerges from the water, not only to avoid the chomp attack, but also because it makes it easier to see where the fireballs will go, since they'll all emerge from Alastor's mouth. Try to stand on middle platforms, as they give you two quick escape routes compared to the top and bottom platforms who only provide you with one.
