[SPOILER] Is it permadeath if you die at final boss?

[indigo blue]

Some idiot on a discord server spoiled the game's final boss in general so I can't really get the thought of my mind.

I feel like the answer is already obviously yes but, due to who the final boss is and their influence over you, do you still reappear at your cult if you lose?

If you don't then I won't be continuing the game so I need to be absolutely certain here.

Good question, don't know because the final boss was actually really easy for me to beat. Personally, I doubt it, but would be curious to know. Btw, you can just, make a copy of your save file, go to the boss, die, and see what happens. If it is permadeath then you can just use your backup save file.

It'd be ridiculous if the final boss was permadeath, honestly, and I think the devs know that. But my brain just likes absolute certainty.

Nope! Died a couple of times at the final boss, was able to revive and get right back into the fight. Sorry the boss got spoiled for you. :(

Almost certainly not. It isn't permadeath if you let him kill you before the fight starts either, it'll drop you back at your cult like nothing happened.

Make a backup of your save file just before you go into the final boss room then~
I already beat the game so I'm unable to test it

Thanks so much. And thanks too Ninian.

I'll be fine about the spoiler though lul

Also I honestly had a very strong feeling that I knew who the final boss was. It just seemed that way pretty shortly after the game began. So this isn't as much of a spoiler, as much as merely a confirmation of what I was pretty sure I knew

I mean, the game kinda spoilers it for you already. When you load your save, you see the icons of defeated heretics. There's 4 Bishops, but 5 icons. So who's the 5th?

I had a strong feeling about what that implied, but I am glad that I was still able to see the ending, how it plays out and how it presents itself, without knowing what it would all look like.

Pretty much already answered, but an extra detail is that it's a four-phase fight, so if you die, you will have to start back from phase one, which is kind of a pisser. Also, to parrot, sorry it got spoiled for you, but it's the sort of Plot Twist™ you can see coming from a mile away.

Yeah I knew it. He was actually easy as hell, even with him doing the Moon Lord eyes thing.
