The First Descendant Season 1 is set to receive its second major update in just a few weeks. This is the big update that will bring Ultimate Freyna as well as a bunch of other new content for TFD players to enjoy. While Ultimate Freyna is the addition players are most excited for, there will also be another void intercept battle. It’s coming soon, and leaks have revealed details about this new boss fight for The First Descendant.

Before the arrival of Ultimate Freyna, Nexon have said she will “not be as easy” to farm as Ult Valby, and the community have all shared the same complaint about her design and Ultimates in general. In addition, a bunch of new skins have leaked for Valby, Hailey, Freyna, and more, and there’s also the proposition of Halloween skins judging by a recently resurfaced “vampire skin” from the beta.

While we cannot wait for Ultimate Freyna and new apparel, we’re also excited for the new incoming boss fight, Deathstalker.

The First Descendant leak reveals Deathstalker boss fight details

The First Descendant is set to introduce a new boss fight on October 10th. This void intercept battle was initially planned to arrive on September 26th, but this was before Nexon split Season 1 into two updates from the original planned three.

The new boss fight is called Deathstalker, and details about this battle have been shared through a datamine on dcinside. Before diving into the details, it’s important to acknowledge that none of the leaked information is official. In addition, the datamine is completely in Korean, so there may be a few inaccuracies with spelling and context through Google translate.

Only official information so far is that the boss fight is coming on October 10th, but, while unofficial, the leaked details are exciting.

First of all, it’s suggested that the boss sends a “skull homing missile to attack”. This is said to “not chain like Pyromaniac”. In addition, the datamine suggests Deathstalker “Attacks by sending bone letters in a circular pattern,” and there could be an “instant kill as the letters come out like Hanged Man”.

In addition to the above, it seemingly has a “Poison Erosion debuff,” and there is references to the use of traps. The dataminer speculates it could use “traps or pitfalls,” and “There is a word called riddle, which means to make a hole with a puzzle or bullet”.

Lastly, the datamine suggests there are two difficulties. T2 for normal, and T3 for hard. There was also reference to a V3, but this is now gone.

You can check out the dcinside datamine for more information. This includes a new Ultimate weapon called Frostwatcher and a bunch of new mods that could be added to TFD. Again, none of it is official, or it could be content planned for the game that never sees the light of day.
