Father of the Flame is an optional boss, a totem-god of the Burning Bugs, fought near the Wisp Thicket and Underworks. In its first phase it rains tracking fireballs while you destroy its lanterns to expose its arms, then its second phase opens with a fire barrage before its core is finally vulnerable. The reward is the Wispfire Lantern tool. Reflecting its projectiles with a well-timed parry turns its own flames against it.
