"Bad Beat,
Tad Seeth"

- Liquid Friend

Seeth the Soulless, also known as Tad Seeth, is a boss in Blaseball. He was introduced in the Expansion Era: Secret Base DLC.

Location

Encountered first in the Secret Base and a second time in the Shadows, after which Seeth the Soulless will begin to freely roam between Ballparks.

Overview

Through the entire battle, Seeth the Soulless will summon groups of Consumers to attack. The Consumers will continue to follow you through each phase, dealing consistent damage and putting you at risk of being Redacted back to the Secret Base.

With such a low DIV attribute, Seeth's attacks consist mainly of easily counterable, low-damage Singles, Doubles, and Walks.

Strategies

During the first and second encounters, Seeth the Soulless is a passive boss and immune to most methods of attack. In the first phase he will simply wait to be batted in; attracting him to home base will initiate the second phase. In the second phase he will not directly attack, but swarms of Consumers will alert you of his presence. In the third phase he will become active and continue summoning Consumers.

Seeth the Soulless is a much easier fight with proper preparations. As always, stock up on Soul Patches before taking him on. The replica ally summons Liquid Friend and Uncle Plasma have incredibly powerful counterattacks to fend off the Consumers, giving you enough space to deal as much damage as you can to Seeth the Soulless himself. Like most bosses in Blaseball, he is highly vulnerable to the Fire element.

If you are not able to acquire the summons for Liquid Friend and Uncle Plasma, there are some alternative strategies: Try to bait the Consumers into attacking Seeth himself. This deals massive damage, and forces Seeth the Soulless to retreat back into the Secret Base, allowing you to reattempt each encounter. Alternatively, afflicting him with the Negative status effect will, for the most part, force the Consumers to dissipate, making the fight much easier.

A secret strategy was recently discovered involving the Alternate cast, which will recruit him as an ally and unlock the Tame Tad achievement.

Successfully defeating Seeth the Soulless will award you with the Defeat Seeth achievement, but the Tame Tad achievement will be unattainable.

Additionally, it is possible to avoid the fight altogether by casting Revoke or Exchange. However, doing this will not reward you with any loot drops.
