Enemies

Emperor Nefarious

Boss who attacks with laser sweeps, missile salvos, and teleportation dashes.

Nefarious Power Suit

Giant mechanical threat fought in phases using dimensional rifts to target its weak points.

Nefarious Troopers

Standard robotic reinforcements that deploy throughout the arena phases to distract you.

Shops and people

  • Ms. Zurkon: Weapons, weapon upgrades, and ammunition refills

Tips

  • Use the yellow rift tethers scattered around the arena constantly to evade Emperor Nefarious's sweeping beam attacks and reposition behind him.
  • Deploy automated support weapons like Mr. Fungi or the Glove of Doom early so they deal passive damage while you focus on dodging boss projectiles.
  • Refill on ammo and upgrade your arsenal at Ms. Zurkon's vendor vendor stall before pushing past the final combat checkpoints.
