ZHEROS

The second world is called Wilderness and there are a total of 8 levels in it, overall use the same idea as Sektor Zero. Here there are 2 boss battles, follow the tips bellow for them:

2-6: Boss - Fuzi

Fuzi is an alien like creature inside a pod with 2 robotic arms and is a royal headache because some of his attacks are hard to avoid. Your best bet is to try to stay close and just keep attacking while watching out for his attacks and avoiding them as best as possible. Use your gun to attack him whenever you can as well, especially when you get knocked back across the screen from him. Also, try to keep away from the medkits while fighting so you don't pick them up prematurely because you will more than likely need them all for this fight. His main attacks are as follows:

• Jump-Ground Smash: He will jump in the air and try to land on you causing a small area of damage around where he lands as well. When you see him jump, just run or roll out of the way from where you are and then after he lands, run back in and begin your combos on him.
• Arm Swing: He does an attack that can come from either arm where he will whip it out in a sweeping motion across the screen in a half-circle pattern. The easiest way to avoid this is to be close to him when he does it and try to roll to the opposite side of him from where the attack is coming from, although you can occasionally roll towards the arm that is doing the attack as well and go underneath it (sometimes). If you're further away from him when he does the attack, it's hit or miss what will work as I've jumped over/rolled under before and it evaded the attack, but most of the time I got hit still, so this seems like the type of attack you need to be very close to him in order to avoid.
• Nuclear Sludge: When you are further away from him (about half-screen or more), he will fire out globs of green sludge at you that sticks to the floor for a period of time and causes damage if you touch it. When you see him firing it out, either run to one side or the other to avoid, or roll forward or backward if possible. The attack isn't too bad, but if he fires off multiple globs, it makes navigating the screen and avoiding his attacks a little harder.
• Combo Attack: When you are close to him, he does another combo like attack with his arms where he slams the ground and then sweeps out both arms bringing them together in front of him. The only way I've been able to avoid this attack is to have rolled behind him before his arms came down. If he hits you with the first part of the combo, then you are 99% going to get hit by the second part as the recovery from getting knocked down isn't fast enough. This is by far his most annoying attack for that reason.

2-8: Boss - Dr. Vendetta

This boss can be a pain in the butt, especially on Hard mode. He moves around very quickly and has a variety of attacks he uses that blocks/attacks you while you're in the middle of your own combos. The main thing is just to keep attacking him while trying to parry his attacks to stun him so you can get off as much of your combos as you can. The other thing is to try to attack him away from the health kits if possible so you don't accidentally pick them up prematurely as you will more than likely need them all to finish of the battle.

In the first half of the battle, the boss has the following main attacks:

• Hat Throw: Every so often he stops and then throws his hat out that goes in a boomerang type pattern. You need to either run out of its path or roll away from it in order to avoid it. It can not be blocked with your shield!
• Missile Drop: He stops and starts to spank his butt and then there are a bunch of red target spots that appear on the ground which missiles drop from the top of the screen on to them and they explode. Just run away and avoid where the targets are until after a missile drops on them and explodes. They can not be blocked with your shield!
• Charging Elbow Drop: Occasionally he will charge at you and then go up into the air, followed by dropping an elbow WWE style on to you. Avoid the charge and then hold to deploy your shield until he drops on you which will cause a guard parry and allow you to attack him for a quick combo.
• Regular Attack Combos: He will do a multi-hit combo with his fists which you are able to block and guard parry if you time you blocks right, opening him up to allow you to combo him. This is his most used attack at the beginning of the fight, so make sure you are parrying the attacks so that you don't take damage and also can combo him without worrying about him attacking in return.

After you knock his health down about half-way, he then adds in 2 other attacks:

• Ground Fire Attack: He will begin to glow purple and then hit the ground sending out lines of fire in a cross pattern from him. He will then hit the ground again but this time the pattern will be in an x (rotated from the previous spots). The last time he does will be a smaller area of both the cross & x pattern and fire comes up all around it. Just run/roll away from the lines and keep your distance until he completes the cycle before going back into to attack.
• Screenmen: Eventually he will start to whistle and calls in screenmen to help him out. A group of about 5-6 will appear and start following/attacking you. If you have health, just ignore them as much as possible and focus on the boss as they won't do a ton of damage. If you have you gun available, a quick few shots at them should take them out if they are annoying you.

Just keep focusing on attacking with your strongest attacks & combos and avoid/parry attacks until he falls. Once you defeat him, the trophy for finishing the second area will pop.
