In Path of Exile 2, Act One introduces you to Lachlann of Endless Lament, a tragic figure turned undead monstrosity. Initially, Lachlann is a grieving man consumed by the loss of his family. However, upon uncovering their grim fates, his anguish transforms him into a fearsome undead. To progress, you must face and defeat him. This guide will help you prepare for and conquer this challenging encounter.
Location of Lachlann of Endless Lament
Lachlann resides in the Memorial of the Lost, a foreboding area within the Cemetery for the Eternals. Access to this location is gated, but you’ll unlock it as part of the Sorrows Among Stones questline.
Strategies to Defeat Lachlann of Endless Lament
The battle against Lachlann demands strategy and precision due to the confined arena and his frost-based abilities. Here’s how to approach the fight:
Understanding the Arena and Attacks
The fight occurs in a compact area, where Lachlann’s attacks create icy trails that slow your movement. Staying mobile is crucial—avoid letting frost cover too much of the battlefield, as it can severely hinder your ability to dodge his powerful slam attacks.
Learning His Patterns
Begin by observing Lachlann’s attack patterns. His moves are telegraphed, so kiting him while staying alert will help you anticipate and evade.
Countering His Frost Soul Attack
When Lachlann summons a soul from the ground, quickly maneuver to the opposite side of the central tomb. This move cancels the attack as the soul collides with the tomb, preventing frost trails from spreading. Mastering this technique is vital for controlling the arena’s layout.
Adjusting to New Abilities
Once Lachlann’s health drops below 66%, his attacks become more aggressive, covering larger areas with frost. Guide these attacks toward the center of the arena, keeping the outer edges clear. Use the unobstructed edges to kite him while landing damage during safe opportunities.
