Skrendel Bros Bounty Walkthrough
Bounty Objectives
Accept the Skrendel Bros Contract
Before you can accept the Skrendel Bros bounty, you’ll need to meet with Magistrate Clugg and unlock the Jetpack. Once both are done, head to the Bounty 5000 and select the Skrendel Bros contract. Use the portal that appears to warp back to Zephyr Paradise and begin the hunt.
Meet with Magistrate Clugg
Magistrate Clugg offers to be your ally in the fight against the G3. He also sets up a safe haven for the captured humans you've been rescuing. It’s all very noble… though something about it might feel a little too squeaky-clean.
Pick Up the Jetpack (and a Bonus Upgrade)
When picking up the Jetpack from Mr. Keeps in Blim City, make sure to also grab the Gatterall Compartment upgrade. It lets your Gatlians hold more Gatterall, meaning more juice for their alt-fire abilities.
Stop by Blorto’s for Warp Discs
Now’s also a great time to visit Blorto’s, the food stall across from your house. The game subtly nudges you to check it out, and for good reason - this is where you can buy Warp Discs, special collectibles that let you summon bizarre and hilarious bonus locations using warp tech.
You’ll find Warp Bases scattered around the world where these discs can be used. As a bonus, you can pick up the Cutie Town Warp Disc for free.
Pay a Visit to Stan
While you're back in Blim City, make sure to stop by Stan, the ever-creepy street vendor loitering near your house. He’s selling... let’s call it “merchandise,” and while it’s deeply unsettling, buying one of his items is required for the Stan’s Load achievement.
You don’t need to understand what you bought - just know it helps with 100% completion.

Make Your Way to Skrendel Labs
Once you learn about the new overseers in town that are enslaving the Moplets (again), make your way to Skrendel Labs. Defeat the enemies you find along the way and use a combination of all your new traversal skills including Jetpacking, Dodge Jumping, Tethering, and Disc Throwing to get their safely.
Don’t forget to make full use of your Jetpack to navigate the vertical terrain and reach distant platforms - it's practically your best friend in this area.
Use Gus to Launch Discs onto Hotwalls
On your way to Skrendel Labs, you’ll encounter areas with Hotwalls - glowing panels perfect for Disc Tethering. Equip Gus and use his alt-fire to launch a Disc onto the Hotwall. Once it sticks, you can tether to it and swing across gaps or up to new ledges. It’s essential for reaching the lab, so don’t forget to bring Gus along.
Activate the Zipline Under Sniper Fire
As you approach Skrendel Labs, you’ll hit a section swarming with snipers. Keep moving, use cover, and look for a control panel nearby. Press the button to activate a zipline that lets you cross the gap safely.
Call the Elevator After Helen’s Betrayal
After Helen's inevitable betrayal, you’ll be swarmed by more enemies. Once the area’s clear, look for a button near the elevator to call it down and proceed.
Enter the First Lab and Get Creature
Upon arriving at the first lab after the elevator sequence, explore the area and kill and security grunts left behind. Check out each room in order to find the one room that contains Creature - a new Gatlian to add to your arsenal. Once you pick up Creature, you will unlock the achievement, Creature Feature.
Once you have Creature in your arsenal, he adds a whole new layer of tools for both combat and puzzle-solving. Creature fires off his adorable little blue children who latch onto enemies, crawl inside them, and take control from within, forcing them to fight for you.

Upgrades, Mods, and Abilities
Merge the Test Subjects... or Don’t
While exploring Skrendel Labs, you’ll come across a scientist who casually asks you to press a button to merge a human with an alien lifefor. You can choose to press it or walk away. Either way, there are no real consequences, moral or mechanical. Just another day in the galaxy's worst lab.
Use Creature to Solve Pipehole Puzzles
You’ll spot pipeholes scattered throughout Skrendel Labs: small, round vents just big enough for one of Creature’s kids to crawl through. Fire a baby into one, and they’ll scamper off to press remote buttons, unlock sealed doors, or activate strange alien machinery.
These are essential for progressing through certain puzzles and blocked paths, so if you’re stuck, let the kids do the crawling.
Reach the Paddock
Once you have Creature and his alt fire that can bypass electric lockboxes, make your way to the Paddock area of Skrendel Labs where you first encounter one of the Skrendel Brothers named Jonathan Skrendel. Kill the soldiers guarding him at the paddock to proceed.
Fight Jonathan Skrendel
Once you run down Jonathan Skrendel, a boss fight will trigger, pitting you against the first of the 3 brothers. This will be 1 of 4 boss fights during this contract so make sure to pay attention to Jonathan's moveset as it will reappear later on during the fight with Bro-Tron. After beating him, he will retreat deeper into the facility.
Reach the Cloning Facility
After getting Jonathan to tuck tail and run, make your way to the Cloning Facility of Skrendel Labs. Deal with the security team assigned to the area and chase down the fleeing Angela Skrendel in the area.
Optional Portal Back to Blim City
After fighting Jonathan Skendrel, you’ll find a portal that leads back to your house in Blim City. It’s not required for progression and doesn’t trigger any major events, but if you feel like checking in, grabbing upgrades, or just taking a breather, it’s there for your convenience.
Track Down and Fight Angela Skrendel
Follow Angela Skrendel through the different buildings of the Cloning Facility until you corner him in the Shredder Building. Fight and beat him to progress the contract. Much like Jonathan, this will be the 2nd out of 4 boss fights during this contract.
Use the Buttons to Adjust the Platform and Cross the Chasm
After defeating Angela Skrendel, you’ll come across a platform with two red buttons. These let you tilt the platform - your goal is to angle it toward the far ledge across the chasm.
Once it’s properly aligned, stand on the platform and fire a Glob Shot at the opposite end to launch yourself across. After landing, use Gus’s alt-fire to shoot a Disc into a nearby Hotwall, creating a tetherable platform to reach the next area.
Track Down the Skrendel Bros and Fight Mona Skrendel
With Angela dealt with, track downs the final Skrendel Brother into a large arena located within Skrendel Labs. Confront Mona Skrendel and defeat him to proceed to get the other to brothers to reappear.
WARNING: Mona Skrendel's boss fight and the Bro-Tron boss fight will occur one after the other. On higher difficulties, make sure you don't take too much damage while beating Mona otherwise the final fight will be a bit trickier to complete.
Defeat Bro-Tron
After you beat Mona, the three Skrendel Brothers will fuse themselves into Bro-Tron, gaining new AoE attacks while also retaining all the different attack patterns of each Skrendel Brother. Split up the boss and take down each brother one-by-one to complete the bounty and earn the achievement, Who’s The Boss?
Turn In the Skrendel Eye to Complete the Bounty
Once all 3 Skrendel Brothers are dead, use Knifey to obtain the Skrendel Eye from their corpses. This can be turned in at the Bounty 5000 to complete the Skrendel Bros Bounty.

How to Beat Jonathan Skrendel

|
Stay Far Away When He Does the Ring AoE Attack
Once Jonathan starts doing flying elbows into the ground, he will generate toxic wave attacks that you will have to dodge by jumping (no need to Jetpack). To maximize the time for you to react, stay far away from the center of the arena so that the rings that approach are more telegraphed and easy to dodge.
Jump and Dodge to Avoid the Ring AoE Attacks
Since the rings are lower in height (for now), you can avoid taking damage by simply jumping over them. If you find that you incorrectly timed your jump, you can easily course correct using the Dodge Module built into your suit (LCTRL on PC and B on Xbox).
Use Kenny to Deal Good Damage from a Distance
The key to this fight is maintaining your distance as Jonathan is nothing but a melee attacker after his jump attacks end. Use Kenny and deal a good amount of damage from range to prevent taking damage yourself.
Do Not Climb the Platforms to Avoid Attacks
While there are platforms around the arena that look like the obvious way to dodge the jumping wave attacks, they are nothing but bait. If you jump or Jetpack on top of a platform, Jonathan will stop his regular attacks and hit you with a rapid-fire ranged attack that can hit you through walls.
How to Beat Angela Skrendel

Keep Your Distance From Angela
Like with Jonathan, the key to winning this fight is keeping your distance. Since Angela only has 2 attacks (a fling attack and a shotgun blast) it will be in your best interest to maintain distance between yourself and the boss at all times.
Use the Jetpack to Reach Safety When Flung
Use the Jetpack (or the Dodge Module) whenever Angela flings you over the dangerous trash shredder at the center of the room. Given how narrow the room is, dodging the death trap should be relatively easy as long as you're used to the Jetpack's controls.
Kill the Melee Soldiers for Durashield Pickups
If you find yourself running low on Shields, kill the Melee Soldiers that spawn in the arena. Each one will drop a Durashield Pickup on death, allowing you to recharge your suit's shields during the boss fight.
How to Beat Mona Skrendel

|---|

Use Sweezy's Time Bubble to Slow Mona Down
Mona's attack pattern is the trickiest of the three brothers since he likes flailing about the arena. To prevent him from poisoning the ground during his erratic (but speedy) attack, use Sweezy's Time Bubble to slow him down. Pepper him with exploding needles before hitting him a charged shot (or melee) to deal massive damage.
Interrupt the Combos Using Glob Shots
Unlike the first two Skrendel Brothers, using Kenny's Glob Shot to interrupt Mona's combos make more sense as hitting him with it will allow you to juggle Mona in the air briefly for free damage.
Save the Shield Pickups in the Arena
If you can, try not to pick up the 3 Durashields scattered in the arena. Since Bro-Tron will trigger immediately after defeating Mona, the shield pickups are better used during that fight since Bro-Tron's attacks are much more difficult to dodge perfectly.
How to Beat Bro-Tron
| Bro-Tron Boss Fight Tips |
|---|

Stay Back and Use Kenny During the Tornado Attacks
When Bro-Tron first fuses, they will create multiple tornado attacks that engulf the arena. Stay back and hug the walls of the arena to easily dodge between the gaps of the conjured tornadoes.
WARNING: While tempting, do not try to jump or Tether above Bro-Tron while he is fused. If you do so, he unleashes a melee attack that can usually one-shot you even on Normal Difficulty.
Hover With the Jetpack During the 3-Wave Attack
When Bro-Tron starts doing Jonathan's modified wave attack, the toxic sludge rings will be much higher than before. Since there are only ever 3 waves at a time, forget jumping and use the Jetpack to hover until all 3 waves are gone.
Focus on Killing Jonathan First When Bro-Tron Splits
Once you deplete Bro-Tron's health, he will split back into the 3 Skrendel Brothers - each with their own individual HP bar. During the first split, focus on killing Jonathan. If you kill him quickly enough, the next Bro-Tron fusion phase will not have the wave attacks, making it easier to deal damage due to less dodging.
Kill Angela After Jonathan to Prevent More Combos
Next, kill Angela when Bro-Tron splits for a second time. Since Angela will be a bit more stationary than Mona, killing him first ensures that Mona will no longer be able to fuse back into Bro-Tron effectively neutering the final boss after 2 cycles.
Use Time Bubble to Slow Down Mona for a Kill
With Mona the last brother standing, bring out Sweezy again and use the Time Bubble to slow down Mona's erratic movement. Pump the last brother full of lead to officially defeat Bro-Tron and the Skrendel Brothers.
