In The First Descendant, players will eventually make their way through the Sterile Land area, which consists of a couple of smaller sub-sections, including the Restricted Zone. And in the Restricted Zone, the final objective will be to complete The Forgottense Operation, rewarding players with money, XP, and a ton of other useful items.
This mission isn't that difficult, for the most part, but it seems that a lot of players are having issues when it comes to defeating the final boss, Eterllick The Tracker (and yes, it's spelled with two L's). There are some key things you should know about this battle if you want to succeed, so here are some tips to conquer this frustrating enemy.
The First Descendant Accused of Copying Destiny 2
Less than a week after its launch, players are accusing The First Descendent of stealing from Bungie's massively popular online action MMO, Destiny 2.
How to Beat Eterllick the Tracker in The First Descendant
Calling of the Descendant - The Forgottense Operation
Before starting the Operation, it's imperative that you go into the customization menus and make sure your guns are as powerful as they can be and the modules you have equipped are up to par. If you're not higher-leveled enough or trying to do this Solo, you might have issues with the battle.
We found ourselves having better luck taking him down with a powerful shotgun or assault rifle. Honestly, a sniper rifle works fine here, too --just make sure the weapons are strong.
There are two key things to note when it comes to beating Eterllick.
The first thing is that once you and your team deplete Eterllick's health bar for the first time, he'll power back up and come back with three floating red balls around him. If you don't take these balls down, Eterllick will not take any damage from your weapons.
The thing is, these red balls will come back over and over again unless you destroy them fast. If you break one ball and then take a long time to take care of the rest, Eterllick will bring them back. If you're playing with random people and not communicating over voice chat, doing this might prove to be a tad tricky, but if you and your mates have strong weapons, the balls should be able to be destroyed in just a few seconds.
However, this is not the only tactic the boss will use to protect its precious health bar. Soon after, Eterllick will put a protective blue barrier around himself to guard against all damage.
They may be hard to notice, but if you look closely, tiny shields are moving around the blue barrier, and you and your fellow Descendants must shoot them to get rid of the barrier. You can see how the shields look in the picture below:
Once you deplete Eterllick's health bar three times, the boss will finally be destroyed, and the Operation will end successfully. If you head back to Albion and meet up with Alpha at HQ, you'll gain access to the next Battlefield of Sterile Land, Ironworks, which is in the upper-right-hand corner.
