Escape the Blim City Invasion

High on Life - Survive the Blim City Invasion

After you successfully take out both the Skrendel Brothers and Dr. Giblets, Blim City will be invaded by the G3 Cartel after seeing Gene's bounty hunter ads. Find Lizzie, return to the house, and escape Blim City before the G3 Cartel blows you up.

Don't Forget to Pay for Your Meal At Applebee's

High on Life - Pay the Applebee

While you're sitting in Applebee’s during Kenny's big confession, you’ll be prompted to order food. Go ahead and pick whatever you want - your choice doesn't affect the story. The real focus here is Kenny finally spilling the (emotional) beans.

Make sure to pay for your meal by interacting with the receipt before you leave to get the Eatin’ Good in the Neighborhood achievement.

Your Sister Gets Kidnapped by Tweeg

High on Life - Lizzie Kidnapped
Depending on your earlier choices - like whether you let Tweeg crash at your place or kicked him out - you might see a cutscene of Tweeg kidnapping Lizzie and taking her off-world.

Don’t worry, though: you’ll get the chance to find her and sort things out later. The outcome of that confrontation also depends on the choices you made earlier.

Right after the emotional rollercoaster, you’ll be ambushed by G3 forces. Once you’ve cleared them out, don’t forget to collect all the Warp Crystals from the bases they leave behind.

Warp Crystals Guide: How to Farm and Where to Spend

Your House Is No Longer in Blim City

High on Life - Gatlus
After the ambush outside Applebee’s, your house gets warped to Gatlus, the destroyed homeworld of the Gatlians. You’re no longer in Blim City, so if you want to revisit shops, Blorto’s, or explore previous areas, you’ll need to use the Bounty 5000 to warp back manually.

You might be tempted to step outside and explore, but don't. The atmosphere is completely toxic, and you’ll die instantly the moment you leave the house.

Accept the Contract for Nipulon

High on Life - Accept the Nipulon Bounty

Once you reach safe haven, Gene will have a new contract for you. Accept the bounty contract for Nipulon at the Bounty 5000 and teleport to Port Terrene to confront Garmantuous' right hand man.

Speak to the Gatlians at the Saloon (Optional)

High on Life - Speak to the Gatlians at the Saloon

This step is optional, but if you want to help your Gatlians reconcile their differences, it's worth doing. Head to the Saloon in Old Town.

It’s a quiet moment where your guns open up to each other, and it helps deepen their story arcs before the final missions.

Find the Flower to Cure the Goop Monster

High on Life - Get the Medicinal Flower

Unfortunately, the Goop Monster, the one responsible for giving you disguises, is sick and can't slime you right now. Speak with Goop Guy, who will ask you to fetch a Medicinal Flower needed for the treatment. Grab the flower, bring it back, and once the Goop Monster's feeling better, you'll be able to get disguised and continue the mission.

Shoot All the Mackincheese Aliens For a Quick Resolution

High on Life - Just Kill the Mackincheese Family

If you want a quick resolution to the build-a-bridge segment, simply shoot the Mackincheese Brothers and Papa Mackincheese. You can then lie to the brothers and tell them that their father loves them in order to get the bridge up in an instant.

Alternatively, Duel the Ant Goon to Resolve It Peacefully

High on Life - Bridge of Love
Alternatively, you can go along with Papa Mackincheese’s duel challenge. Stand on the cardboard with the bloody X mark to start a one-on-one gun draw with the Ant Goon. Win the duel, then choose to either lie or tell the truth to the Mackincheese brothers afterward. Either way, they'll raise the bridge - with a nice little rainbow effect if you don’t go full murderhobo.

Buy the Jetpack Fuel Recycler in Dreg Town

High on Life - Jetpack Fuel Recycler
Before continuing the main mission, take a quick detour to Dreg Town and visit the Big Deal Emporium. For 2,000 Pesos, you can pick up the Jetpack Fuel Recycler, which significantly reduces fuel consumption while hovering in place.

Get Gooped and Enter Nipulon's HQ

High on Life - Follow the Butler

With the Goop Monster cured, get gooped and infiltrate Nipulon's HQ. Simply follow the butler through the drug den until you reach your own private booth within the bowels of the building.

Fight Your Way to the Top of the Tower

When your screen starts to shake, you’ll know - it’s time to end this G3 drug operation - and that means clearing out the entire tower. Fight your way through waves of enemies and push to the top, where things get especially chaotic.

The largest room will spawn multiple waves of G3 goons, so play it smart: use debris and cover, take your shots carefully, and don’t be afraid to cycle between Gatlians to control the room.

Don’t forget to grab the Warp Crystal before you leave the area.

Rescue the Caged Humans and Send Them to The Human Haven

High on Life - Save the Humans

Throughout this level, you’ll spot caged humans scattered around - left behind after you’ve absolutely wrecked the G3’s tower. Be a good bounty hunter and send them back to the Human Haven via warp portal to get them to safety.

Use the Magboots to Reach Nipulon

High on Life - Magboots Drug Den
After rescuing the caged humans in the drug den, you’ll need to use the Magboots to traverse the magnetic walls and ceilings in the area. Follow the path upward to make your way toward Nipulon’s office for the final showdown.

Wait for Nipulon to Call You Into His Office

High on Life - Wait for Nipulon to Meet You

Once you reach the top of the tower, the receptionist will make you wait before seeing Nipulon. Oh, and surprise, it’s Helen again, the world’s most treacherous Moplet, and still very much working for the bad guys.

Take a seat on the couch and enjoy the awkward silence - well, not really, because your Gatlians won't stop talking.

Kill Nipulon and Get Earth's Coordinates

High on Life - Kill Nipulon

Once inside the office, just start shooting to start the boss battle. Try not to lose too much shield charge here since there will be barely any drops once the drug-induced dream sequence of the fight begins. Defeat Nipulon to get both his DNA sample and the exact coordinates of Earth.

How to Get the Strip Club Achievement

At some point during the boss fight, Nipulon will tell you that he has a plan to embarass you (the player) in front of your friends. So, during the fight, he will give you the Spent 15 Hours At The Alien Strip Club so that your gaming buddies will think you actually spent the time in the game's alien strip club.

List of Achievements and Trophies Guide

Turn In Nipulon's DNA to Complete the Bounty

High on Life - Turn in the Nipulon Bounty

With the coordinates secure, return to the reception area and take the warp portal back to your house. Turn in Nipulon's DNA sample at the Bounty 5000 to receive your reward and complete the bounty.

How to Beat Nipulon

Nipulon Boss Fight Tips



Always Shoot the Orange Clone

During your drug high, Nipulon will start multiplying into clones, making fighting him more difficult. To quickly deal with these multi-Nipulon stages of the boss battle, always look for and shoot the orange clone.

Do not waste time on the decoys since this will only prolong the fight. With no durashield pickups and constant damage preventing your HP from regenerating, the best course of action will always be to focus down the orange clone.

Talk to Dream-Gene During the Hallucination

High on Life - How to Beat Nipulon Gene

During the first phase of Nipulon’s boss fight, you’ll be pulled into a hallucination where a dream version of Gene questions your choices as a bounty hunter. He’ll claim your actions will only lead you down a path like his - washed up and forgotten.

It doesn’t actually matter what dialogue option you choose - the conversation always ends the same. Just respond however you like to keep the hallucination moving and progress to the next phase of the fight.

Find and Jump Into the Gaping Hole

High on Life - Nipulon Battle Gaping Hole
Look around the area to find a large glowing hole in the environment - it's your way out to the next phase.

Talk to Hallucination Lizzie

High on Life - How to Beat Nipulon Lizzie

In the next hallucination, you’ll come face to face with a version of Lizzie, who mocks your actions and calls out your motives as a bounty hunter. She’ll question whether you're just doing all this to feel important.

Don’t stress about your response :there’s no right or wrong answer here. Pick whichever option feels right to you; the conversation always moves forward no matter what you say. Just another step in Nipulon’s psychedelic guilt trip.

Retrieve All Your Gatlians

High on Life - Pick Up Your Gatlians

The final dream sequence will have you lose your guns. Find each of them in the different sections of area to continue the boss battle.

Gatlian Location
Kenny Applebee's Table
Gus Beneath a Yellow Drill
Sweezy On a Table Next to a Truck
Creature On an Operating Table
