Preparing for the Vault of Typhon
Once you drop into the volcano in the Gates of Tartaros, you won’t be able to return to the Golden Isle again. A “Typhon Save” file will be made just beforehand, so that after the game is finished you can reload to this point and continue exploring the Golden Isle. But once you drop into Tartaros, there’s no turning back.
For this reason, you’ll need to make sure you’re prepared to fight Typhon. If you haven’t already, this would be a great time to consult our pages on finding thebest weapons in Immortals Fenyx Risingand thebest gear in Immortals Fenyx Risingto help get you equipped with the best loot the Golden Isle has to offer.
Typhon fight
Once you’re ready, here’s the first step: climb to the very top of the Gates of Tartaros and throw yourself into the volcano. Good? Good.
Now after a lengthy cutscene, you’ll at long last get to face Typhon himself in single combat. He’s really not that difficult, even on Nightmare difficulty, because all his moves are so telegraphed. There are three main moves to watch out for:
That’s all there is to him. Drink your damage and defence potions, and just keep whaling at him with Hephaistos’s Hammer and your most damaging attacks (whether they be light or heavy). If you’re damaged, heal up and get back to taking his legs out from under him. He’ll topple soon enough, triggering another even lengthier cutscene.
Vault of Typhon
At the start of the Vault of Typhon you must complete four mini-puzzles to open the doors into the main square of the Vault.
Next time you regain control of Fenyx, you’re in the Vault of Typhon, and it turns out that fight you just had… never happened. So that’s great.
As you can see, all the main mechanics from previous main-quest Vaults make a return in the Vault of Typhon, so you know what to expect heading forward. These puzzles done, the door will open into the main square, which is filled with enemies for you to kill.
Now there are four remaining puzzle sections in the Vault, and you must complete all four, and return to this main square and defeat the enemies that spawn in between each completed section.
Near left path
The near left path uses air currents and linked cubes in its puzzles.
Now reverse the air current and you’ll see that another laser is intercepting the other wooden cube, so push the heavy cube along to intercept the laser, allowing the wooden cube through. Once it lays to rest, reverse the air current again to get the second wooden cube onto its pressure plate. Finally, push the heavy cube onto the weighted pressure plate. The barrier on the left side will lower, allowing you through. Open that chest to the left of the barrier, then jump back down to the main square and defeat the new enemies.
Far left path
Shoot the target above with an Apollo’s Arrow to disable the laser field just before you move through it.
Now go to the far left path. These puzzles are all about riding Orichalcum cubes on air currents through lasers. Jump onto the first cube, reverse the air current, and activate the cube. Jump over the first lasers (just a single jump will do), then jump off just before the second lasers hit, and glide under them to the end. Deactivate the cube on the pressure plate at the end, then take the lift up to the next section.
Near right path
The near right path uses rolling balls and seeds just like in the Vault of Aphrodite.
It’s time for the near right path now. Up the stairs and the lift, you’ll see a button which spawns a rolling ball maze. Use the linked cubes to move the big cubes out of the way, and use Herakles’s Strength to roll the ball to the end. Destroy the seed with the ball’s flames, and place the ball in the socket where the seed had been placed.
Far right path
Throw the Orichalcum cubes at the walls to break them down so you can complete the arrow challenges.
Now take the far right path up. This is an interesting puzzle section. The main mechanic here is that you have an Orichalcum cube and an air current, as well as a bunch of rings and a torch for what is evidently an Apollo’s Arrow challenge. But there is a wall of cubes in the way that you’ll have to remove with the Orichalcum cube.
For this first one, you can either throw the cube at the wall, or use the cube to get to the wall yourself, and Hephaistos’s Hammer it down before flying back. Whichever your preferred method, shoot an arrow through the flames and rings and into the seed behind the wall, then glide across. You may need to reverse the air current for this.
The second area has two such arrow challenges, and a wall blocking each. Throw the new Orichalcum cube into the walls to break them down, then fire Apollo’s Arrows to complete both challenges and destroy both seeds. After that, lightly throw the cube at one of the walls and immediately jump after the cube and climb onto it, allowing passage to the next area. Reverse the air current that awaits you there, and glide across to the next section (if you lose height, use Ares’s Wrath at the end). Then pull the lever, open the chest, and return to the main square.
End of the Vault
Completing all four paths of the Vault of Typhon will create a platform to the final boss fight.
With all four sections of the Vault of Typhon complete, a new path has been formed at the end of the main square. After killing the final wave of enemies in the square, jump all the way up to the top using these new platforms, and you’ll trigger yet another cutscene wherein Typhon abducts you, shows off Zeus and Ligyron in a cage, and prepares to fight you - for real, this time.
Second Typhon fight
Now it’s time to face Typhon for real. He’s much more powerful this time round.
Typhon has the same moves as before, but each phase of this fight brings new ones. And there are lots of phases in this fight. At the start of each phase, drink a new damage and defence potion, and set to cutting out Typhon’s legs from under him, just like before. Use Hephaistos’s Hammer as your primary Godly Power, because it has the highest ratio of damage to stun, and since Typhon can’t be stunned, damage is all that matters.
The first new move you’ll see is that Typhon can plunge his tentacled handdeepinto the ground, and cause little tentacles to spring up all around. Stay away from these tentacles. That’s all there is to that. He’ll also pound his foot against the ground once while doing this, so be careful.
Stay away from the tentacles that pop up from the ground while Typhon’s arm is in the ground.
Other new moves at various phases include:
There are a couple more moves, but they’re weak sauce. Just dodge what needs dodging, focus his legs with your strongest attacks, and you’ll be just fine.
After Typhon is fully defeated, sit back, relax, and watch the final very lengthy cutscene. You’ve just beaten Immortals Fenyx Rising!
