Fight notes

Mini-Boss with Explosives (Chapter 1)

Use explosives to kill the mini-boss. Watch the combo meter on the right. In the demo, bosses had to be killed with guns, but this one can be killed with explosives.

Chapter boss (Chapter 7)

Fight the boss. Use bombs and melee attacks. Kill the new enemy type first, then sharpen your blade. Throw bombs at the boss. Find bodies to heal when low on health. I'm going to kill this guy first and then sharpen my blade. I'm going to throw another bomb at him. And then I'm going to try to find bodies because I'm losing a lot of health.

Run from the Depth Dweller. You are faster than him; keep moving to avoid being caught. The Depth Dweller is defeated, ending Chapter 11. The Depth Dweller is slow and cannot catch up if you keep running.

Back to Chapter 11.

The Thing (Chapter 13)

Fight a spider-like creature that jumps on your face. Keep your distance and shoot it. It has a lot of health. It reminds me of a headcrab. It scared me when it jumped.

Back to Chapter 13.

Freezer boss (Chapter 13)

Fight a boss with multiple enemies. Focus on smaller enemies first, then the boss. Use headshots and rush when possible. The boss has a lot of health. I'm running out of ammo.

Back to Chapter 13.

Shambler Boss (Chapter 13)

Fight the Shambler, a bald armored creature with rocket launchers for arms. Remove its armor by kicking it multiple times or using explosive electricity, then shoot it until it dies. The syringe does not cure poison. The Shambler takes many hard shots to kill; focus on breaking its shield first.

Back to Chapter 13.

Axe enemy (Chapter 15)

Fight an enemy wielding an axe. It deals a lot of damage. Dodge and attack from a distance if possible. That axe is a lot of damage.

Back to Chapter 15.

Necromancer (Chapter 15)

The necromancer only spawns minions when you are close. Shoot him from a distance to avoid spawning additional enemies. I can just shoot him from over here and I'll be fine.

Back to Chapter 15.

Teleporting Wizard (Chapter 15)

Fight the wizard boss who teleports across the map and summons enemies. Focus fire on the wizard and manage the summoned adds. Conserve high-damage ammo for the boss. I should have saved my nuke for this fight. Conserve good ammo for the boss.

Hybrid and wizard (Chapter 17)

A hybrid and a wizard appear. Keep your distance from the hybrid and focus on killing the hybrids first before dealing with the wizard. The wizard shoots ricochet bullets. I should use my rockets more. I'll kill the hybrids first to focus on the wizard.

Back to Chapter 17.

Hybrid wave boss (Chapter 17)

Fight off multiple waves of hybrid enemies. Prioritize destroying lag machines first. Manage ammo carefully and use distance to avoid fire attacks. After several waves, a larger hybrid boss appears. I should have upgraded my backpack capacity; ran out of ammo mid-fight. Enemies cause more lag than damage to my PC.

Back to Chapter 17.

Manager (Chapter 18)

Purchase nuke ammo from the two shops before the fight. The Manager is a large humanoid boss with ram, jump, and plasma attacks. Use the machine gun on the boss and shotgun on smaller enemies. Keep distance to avoid ram attacks. Collect ammo drops and health pickups. After defeating the boss, place the beacon to trigger the ending. Machine gun for boss, shotgun for adds. Stay at range because his ram attack does massive damage. He gains jumping attacks and a plasma attack in later phases.
