Biography

Trapped on the island of the Nameless God is a jester who acquired the Vertigo Brand, an item that lets one react to the Eminent Obelisks to defy gravity for further exploration. One Kraekan learned of the jester's techniques and imprisoned him. Worse, the Kraekan took the form of the jester, manipulating the explorers who sought the Vertigo Brand, only to kill and feast on them. Considering the number of corpses stashed in his arena, the False Jester claimed the lives of dozens of victims who fell for his trap.

The player encounters the False Jester in the Sunken Keep. It is an optional encounter as the player can bypass the battle using the Green Key dropped by the Kraekan Cyclops to open a door under the False Jester's arena to unlock a shortcut leading to the Mad Jester. When fought, the False Jester can be a tough adversary given his fast attacks and speed, but this is suppressed with his low health and lack of defenses from any elemental weapon with the exception of striking weapons. All of his attacks come from his rapier, including a thrust, a slash, and a running stab. As he loses health, he slightly gets faster and performs more combos during his attacks. Defeating the False Jester awards the player with his ear and frees the real Mad Jester, gifting them with the Vertigo Brand that allows them to explore more of the island.

Trivia

• Entering the boss room from the left and immediately exiting once the boss intro starts will make the False Jester chase the player outside of his arena, although the gameplay mechanic that makes bosses invincible outside of their arenas take place and makes him take no damage. However, tricking him into jumping off the platform with the archers will kill him instantly.
• The False Jester's ear can be transmitted with any wand to craft the Antler Baton.
• Defeating the False Jester unlocks "The Imposter" achievement.
