Thus, just using melee is usually better.The melee attack deals knockback to enemies ( and occasionally The Forgotten himself) if it hits. The Forgotten's bone club deals 3× his damage when swung and 1.5× his damage when thrown.If The Soul or The Forgotten dies, the run will end.
While controlling The Soul, The Forgotten will remain stationary and cannot take damage, blocks all normal shots that touch it, and attracts shots in a small <1 tile radius.
Pressing the swap key (CTRL on PC / R2 on PS4 / RT on Xbox / ZR on Switch) will switch control to The Soul, a blue ghost chained to The Forgotten who fires spectral tears and can fly.
