How to beat The False Son in Risk of Rain 2
Scale the mountain to get to the top and begin The False Son boss fight. There are gold pillars on the way that will give barrier. Try to avoid the meteors and enemies. I found that usingthe new Seeker survivorin the DLC will let you just fly straight up the mountain using your Special ability.
The secret is tokeep moving. The large laser attack of The False Son can do some pretty big damage. Use the pillars around the map for cover if you need it. Hopefully, by this point in the run, you will have been lucky enough to have somepretty good items. You should be able to heal and hand out the damage.

Survive until stage three, and Aurelionite will arrive to fight alongside The False Son. Find the golden pillar and break it to get your skills back and defeat the two of them.
