Under, we’ll run via methods to beat each boss in MIO. Nevertheless, we’re nonetheless placing our methods collectively, so we’ll add lacking bosses quickly that will help you out.
1. Egis
Merchandise unlock: Silo Entry Badge
The primary of the MIO bosses, Egis is not too powerful, however he could be difficult sufficient to take you out on the primary attempt. In reality, the worst factor about these MIO bosses, Egis included, is that you do not all the time know they’re coming. The primary time we fought Egis, we unwittingly went in with only one layer of protecting coating left earlier than we would even began.
Fortunately, there’s a Nacre Basin simply above Egis’ battlefield, behind an icy gate, so make sure you use it for those who’re low on well being. In any other case, it is only a case of getting used to Egis’ strikes and, for probably the most half, staying above him. Probably the most troublesome transfer to keep away from is his speedy dart throughout the display screen, however you possibly can inform he is about to tug this transfer as he revs up, like a runner on their marks. When this occurs, simply keep put and put together to leap nearly as quickly because the enemy reappears. Bear in mind this, and it is best to make gentle work of the primary MIO boss – main you to the Silo Entry Badge.
2. Crow
Regardless of the potential to come back throughout Crow fairly early within the sport, they’re one powerful enemy to defeat. It would take one or two goes to begin to be taught their motion sample.
The primary transfer in Crow’s moveset sees them drop to the bottom. So long as you keep away from their touchdown space, which is simple, that is the perfect time to deal as a lot harm as attainable to the Automated Reaper. Even when it stands up and spins, it would not deal any harm, so do not be afraid to maintain hitting till it disappears.
From right here, Crow has a sweeping in-air assault and throws projectiles, so throughout this section, don’t be concerned about preventing; merely preserve your distance and prioritize evading Crow’s personal assaults. Preserve this gradual and regular rhythm to ultimately defeat the boss. Issues do velocity up within the second section of the battle, however the premise is identical.
3. Flora
Merchandise unlock: Aviaries Passepartout
Like Egis, Flora is an important boss to defeat to progress within the sport, as killing the sentient Pearltrap reveals the Aviaries Passepartout, an important key for unlocking extra of the map and the Dodge potential.
To get previous it, you have to keep away from its arms and a poison spit assault, each of that are foreseen by visible and audio cues. When Flora begins to lift its arms, vines, stalks, no matter you need to name them, behind the display screen, you realize an assault is coming. If you hear a screech, it is a good signal {that a} poison assault is on the way in which.
For vine assaults, it is best to maneuver to the left of the display screen and be ready to leap. These strikes fluctuate all through the battle, however that is the perfect technique to keep away from all of them. Staying to the left must also work for many poison assaults, however be cautious of those who challenge additional alongside the battleground.
Like with many of those MIO bosses, deal as a lot harm as attainable to Flora between their assaults, even perhaps with the Kinetic Thrust Modifier outfitted.
4. Acat
To your battle with Acat, make sure you have the Dodge potential unlocked, which is obtained from the Unusual Tube within the Aviaries. Should you’ve already fought Flora, you may have the important thing to the Avaries, however you possibly can nonetheless get there with out it.
With Dodge outfitted, bait Acat into attacking by shifting side-to-side, and deal harm whereas he is on the bottom. For probably the most half, you need to bounce whereas Acat prepares his subsequent assault. The principle exception right here is when he jumps within the air. Throughout these strikes, keep on the bottom till he assaults, after which bounce. Strive to not waste your double bounce, so you possibly can keep within the air so long as attainable, and use Hairpin for those who come unstuck.
5. Calderon
Should you’ve performed Silksong, Calderon’s boss battle performs out equally to that of Fourth Refrain in that you will need to assault its shifting head whereas it assaults with its 4 arms. The trick right here is to maintain your eyes on the machine’s claws whereas attacking its head. Once they flip purple, they’re about to hit, and you may inform the place from their present place.
When the grabbers are up excessive, they’re going to come down and hit the bottom. Once they’re to the aspect of Calderon, they’re going to swing into the center. This info is actually all you have to become familiar with – and defeat – this boss.
6. Atmos
To defeat Atmos as simply as attainable, you may in all probability need the Sail potential, which might be discovered within the Unusual Tube on the prime of the Bell Tower.
Atmos begins as a snowman, and whereas he could look cute, he shortly transforms right into a extra lethal type. Do not miss your alternative, then, to deal some fast harm to him in his snowman state. As soon as he transforms, you possibly can keep pretty near him, dealing as a lot harm as attainable whereas he is nonetheless, and leaping up and over as he assaults.
Whereas Acat appears to have fairly an advanced moveset, it is all largely innocent – he simply strikes round rather a lot.
Acat’s most threatening assault, nevertheless, is when he strikes to both finish of the battlefield and shoots a rapid-fire projectile assault. That is when you have to use Sail. Whilst you can merely bounce over most of Acat’s projectiles, or evade those dropping from above, this fixed stream of ice bullets would not offer you an opportunity, so bounce above it and keep there, touchdown close to Acat to deal some harm when he is executed.
7. Nabuu
Nabuu is as lethal as it’s stunning, and that is in all probability probably the most advanced battle you may have confronted thus far, due to its altering nature.
The phases the place Nabuu is on the bottom are comparatively straightforward, as it is best to simply keep beneath the deer-like creature, attacking its chest from under. This retains you out of the way in which of most of its assaults.
Nevertheless, Nabuu will transfer to the again of the display screen for the second section, throughout which period you will need to as a substitute keep away from dropping explosives and a rising flood. For this, you may need to assault the purple flowers to remain within the air, whereas using your Sail potential between assaults.
The one different assault to concentrate on is when Nabuu channels its horns into the bottom, utilizing them to assault from different elements of the display screen. These can come from the bottom or from the perimeters of the sector, however the white glowing strands offer you loads of warning.
8. Sawlong
Sawlong is not a boss within the technical sense of getting to battle it. As an alternative, this harmful creature is to MIO what a boulder could be to Crash Bandicoot – you simply should preserve from winding up beneath it.
The principle factor to bear in mind right here is that you will want to make use of most of your unlocked skills, and if Sawlong does meet up with you, it is only a case of memorizing the route forward. Our solely recommendation right here is simply to focus in your response time – and preserve shifting.
With these useful recommendations on beating the difficult MIO bosses, you should not have any downside rolling credit on this stunning metroidvania sport – and discovering that ‘true’ ending, besides. We’ll preserve including to this checklist as we progress.
