How to unlock the Centipede achievement in Neon Chrome - Definitive Guide

This is the second boss. He is a robot centipede that starts with armor on. It is useful to use your specials against the armor and then shoot the hell out of him while it is down. As you drop his health he will go through three phases

1st phase: is normal, he launches little one shot enemies at you

2nd phase: he starts launching harder to kill enemies and leaves trails of land mines.

3rd phase: he will stop summoning troops and start launching rockets. This is the easiest part IMO because he is so small and aggressive that you just need to circle him shooting.

Video clip of my speed run (Note I am very strong, level 65 damage and level 50 health) The whole video is 1 minute long:


He will blow up and the achievement pops. Get some practice on all bosses, to make the 20 levels without dying achievement a ton easier.

Story related and cannot be missed.
Centipede is the 2nd floors boss and is the easiest boss in the game, aim to have the ‘no mines triggered’ enhancement as this will make the fight a cake walk. The boss just moves around dropping mines and releasing the flying robot enemies. Just follow and shoot. Just beware on the last 1/3 of its life as it will shoot mini missiles as well as enemies so just avoid them.
Beating this boss will unlock floor 3.

Story-related; cannot be missed.

This is the second boss of the game, and is a long centipede enemy. It has three phases, and changes phases when its health reaches the limits on its health bar. During all three phases, you damage it by shooting its body parts to remove the shield on them, then shooting the exposed ones until they're destroyed. Each destroyed one takes off a chunk of its overall health.
 
  • During the first phase, it moves around slowly and periodically shoots out the enemies that charge at you and try to explode on you. They die in one shot, or can easily just be dodged when they come flying at you
  • The second phase starts with it charging fast around the screen and setting mines everywhere. Don't be caught running behind it when this happens or you'll run into a cluster of mines and likely die instantly. Once it slows down, you now need to repeat attacking it but avoiding the mines too. Now, instead of spawning small enemies you can one-shot, it spawns bigger ones that take as many shots as a normal enemy, and they hang out and attack you. It'll spawn them one at a time, but then when you destroy a body piece it'll spawn a bunch at once. You'll want to be really aggressive to the boss in this phase because otherwise you'll just spend forever dealing with the endlessly spawning enemies
  • The third phase against starts with a crazy charge around the arena and planting mines all over the place. Now the boss is really fast and it also shoots rockets at you. Keep your distance so you can avoid them. Thankfully it's only one at a time. Keep firing at its back parts to finally finish it off
As a side note, the shotgun is really good against this boss, but the Heavy Rifle is incredible. Since the Heavy Rifle has piercing, you can line up the boss from behind and shoot through all of its body parts in a single shot, making this boss an absolute joke to destroy. There are three weapon crates in this boss arena, so check them out if your weapon isn't great.

It is best to go to the centipede with the special ability of a grenade; any will do, but fire grenades or cluster grenades are best. We throw several 3-4 grenades in the direction of the boss’s movement, they remove the shields in one fell swoop, the fire grenades still do damage for a while, and then we just pour fire on them.

PS: the best perk for a battle with a boss is the perk to prevent mines from reacting to you - we run around the entire room without fear of being blown up.

The weak point is the (last section) rear. Aim for her.
