The Forsaken is a new boss added in Afterbirth that can appear in all environments of Chapter 2. It is the posthumous version of The Haunt.

The Forsaken will spawn 1-2 Bonies. While at least one Bony is still alive, the Forsaken will disappear. Every tear shot towards the Forsaken during this phase will go through it, having the same effect as if the tear had a piercing effect.

When the last Bony dies: The Forsaken will reappear, becoming vulnerable to attacks and firing three rotating Brimstone Bonies again.

The design of what is presumably an early model of the Forsaken, along with those of other Afterbirth/Afterbirth† bosses, by Edmund McMillen.

When The Forsaken disappears, it hides its eyesockets with its arm-like bones. This is a reference to Boos from the Mario franchise.

The Forsaken appears to be The Haunt without its ghostly exterior.

During the versus screen, the Forsaken's Bony-spawning sound can be heard. The Forsaken is one of six bosses that can be heard during the versus screen, the other five being The Stain, Big Horn, Mom, Mom's Heart and It Lives.

The Forsaken can be found in The Void, even before being unlocked.
