How to unlock the The Forest achievement in Salt and Sanctuary - Definitive Guide

Story related. Cannot be missed.

The Mad Alchemist can be found in the Watching Woods. His attacks are based on poison, fire and lightning. The Mad Alchemist is a quite unique boss, which uses vials to conjure enemies and magic to defeat you. You should stock up on antidotes, as you will might them. The boss area is quite small, which can be an extra challenge. When he gets to half his HP, the battle will enter on phase 2.

During the first stage, the boss will perform:

  • Green Vials – Spawns Poison Cytoplasms, while leaving a green cloud that will fill your poison meter quickly. Kill the cytoplasms as soon as possible so you do not get overwhelmed. Avoid the green cloud.
  • Blue Vials – Spawns floating bolts of electricity which will follow you. They disappear over time.
  • Purple Vials – The boss jumps and drops a purple vial, which will spawn a pair of jumping scythes, one after another.
  • Red vials – Spawns floating balls of fire which will follow you. They will disappear over time.


When he gets to half his health, he will start jumping more frequently, throwing more purple vials. Also, he throws three of those instead of only one per jump.

Upon victory, you will receive: Mossy Key, The Mad Alchemist’s Ear.

The Mad Alchemist has a number of nasty abilities:
1) causes poisonous living drops - I recommend stocking up on an antidote;
2) summons three fireballs - easy to dodge, but you can equip gear to increase
3) summons three lightning bolts - you can run to the other side of the arena, then the charge will not be enough, or try to get through using a roll;
4) releases a black cloud from which purple blades fly at us - we just don’t come close to them.

This boss can’t hit you in hand-to-hand combat, but be careful, if you squeeze him, he throws 4 attacks and the purple blades take away a lot of HP.
The boss can be quite harsh and can cast often and hurt. Defeated him by combining an attack with fireballs and melee combat. The main thing is not to forget to kill the drops and not get hit by fireballs, otherwise burning or poisoning will kill you very quickly.
