Things to know about The Emperor's behavior in this fight:
NOTE:
* When The Emperor's hit points reach 0, the combat encounter immediately ends and triggers a cutscene. Details of this cutscene are intentionally omitted from this page, because this page is about combat information.
* If The Emperor's hit points reach 0, the combat encounter immediately ends and a cutscene triggers. This results in a "Game Over" screen.


===Confront the Elder Brain - Upper City===
===The Upper City===
When it is finally time to [[Confront the Elder Brain]], the Emperor can proceed as the player's ally during this final mixture of open-world and combat gameplay. The Emperor will be attached to one character like a summon for the duration of this experience.

* When The Emperor's hit points reach 0, they will become "downed" like any other controllable ally, and will make death saving throws.


As soon as cutscenes end, the player is able to "switch to" the view of The Emperor like any other summon or friendly character. All of his Hotbar buttons are found on the "Common" Tab.

* The Emperor is capable of casting spells off of some, but not all scrolls, if players open up the group inventory screen while the Emperor is actively selected, and right-mouse-clicks on the scroll item (PC Platforms only). The criteria allowing or disallowing the use of a scroll is unclear.
