How to Beat Boss Rush Bosses

All Boss Rush Bosses

Sinister Blusterwing Muckety-Muck
Planet Core Stompenclomper

How to Beat Inflammonite

  1. Throw Snow at the Boss
  2. Dig Up the Boss Once it Cools
  3. Throw Snow at the Magma Trail

Throw Snow at the Boss

Tear of chunks of the falling snow throughout the arena and throw it at the Inflammonite, which will cause it to get stunned after slamming into a wall.

Dig Up the Boss Once it Cools

The boss will get buried by snow when it slams into a wall which will also cool its body and make it vulnerable. Run to the boss and dig it out, then punch its vulnerable body to damage it!

Throw Snow at the Magma Trail

The boss will start running away from you when you break its shell and create a trail of magma that you'll need to run up to chase after.

Snow will periodically fall onto the trail and allow you to cross, but you can also throw snow at the magma trail the Inflammonite is standing on to damage it!

How to Beat Inflammonite

How to Beat Abracajabya

  1. Glide Towards the Boss
  2. Use Hand Slap to Create Platforms

Glide Towards the Boss

You'll need to glide towards the boss' main body when it creates giant passage stones to avoid getting hit by the poison trail and the vines blocking the path.

Use Hand Slap to Create Platforms

You'll need to create platforms by performing a hand slap on the gold terrain when the boss starts moving around the stage. This will give you some elevation to glide towards the boss when it creates new passage stones.

How to Beat Abracajabya

How to Beat Sinister Blusterwing

  1. Throw Chunks at the Boss' Wings
  2. Punch Down on the Boss' Body

Throw Chunks at the Boss' Wings

Throwing chunks of terrain at the boss' wings will cause it to crash onto the arena and make it vulnerable to attacks!

Punch Down on the Boss' Body

Once downed, climb on top of the boss and punch down to damage it.

How to Beat Muckety-Muck

  1. Stock Up on Salt
  2. Defeat Muckoids
  3. Throw Salt at the Boss' Body
  4. Punch the Boss When It's Vulnerable

Stock Up on Salt

Transform into Elephant Bananza form and inhale the salt pillars around the arena and store it for later to use against the enemies and the boss.

Defeat Muckoids

Muckoids will appear during the boss fight and the slime they stand on will eventually crowd the arena if you don't get rid of them. Throw a salt ball at a Muckoid once it appears and clear any slime from the arena to prevent it from limiting your movement.

Throw Salt at the Boss' Body

Throw your stored salt balls at the boss to melt its body. You'll need to fully melt its body to get rid of the impassable slime that covers its side of the arena and reach the boss.

Punch the Boss When It's Vulnerable

Run up to the boss and punch it when its body is fully melted and vulnerable. Its slimy body will eventually reform, so make sure you have enough salt balls stored so you can dissolve its body again later.

How to Beat Muckety-Muck

How to Beat Planet Core Stompenclomper

  1. Throw Debris at its Feet
  2. Defeat Muckoids

Throw Debris at its Feet

Wait for the boss to stomp on the concrete ground to reveal the gold terrain underneath, then tear a chunk of the terrain and throw it at its feet to destroy it.

Attack its Body When its Armor is Broken

Throw chunks of terrain its the boss' body until it's completely destroyed to reveal its vulnerable inside, then attack it to reduce its health.

The boss will eventually reform its armor, and you'll need to destroy its feet and armor again to make it vulnerable.
