Purchase Upgrades Before Doing the Mission

High on Life - Buy Upgrades
Before launching the final mission, make sure to purchase any remaining suit or Gatlian upgrades - you won’t be able to return to shops once you're on Earth.

If you’ve been following our guide, you should be caught up by now, but just in case, grab essentials like the DuraHealth Tanks, Slide Bash Unit, and anything else you’re missing — such as the Kinetic Tank. This is the perfect time to spend your hard-earned Pesos before the final showdown.

All Suit and Weapon Upgrades

Speak to Gene and Obtain Lezduit

High on Life - Talk to Gene When Ready

When you're ready to kick off the final mission, speak to Gene at your house. He’ll give you Lezduit, the final Gatlian, and hand over a bomb designed to take out Garmantuous once and for all.

With your full arsenal in hand, warp back to Earth and confront the G3 Cartel in their last stand. This is it - time to finish the job.

Fight Your Way Through Earth

High on Life - Fight Your Way through Earth

To reach Garmantuous, you’ll need to battle through the ruins of your old neighborhood, now overrun by G3 forces. Take out every enemy that stands in your way.

With Lezduit in your hands, you’ve got access to devastating area-of-effect attacks that can wipe out clusters of enemies in seconds. His massive lightning blasts and raw firepower make him one of the strongest Gatlians in the game - use him liberally to clear the path forward.

Listen to Suit-O's Goodbye Message

High on Life - Say Goodbye to Suit-O

While making your way to Garmantuous, Suit-O will start saying goodbye for some reason. Once he finished his goodbye message, you will earn the achievement, Series Wrap on Suit-O.

Destroy the Blockade with Lezduit

High on Life - Lezduit G3 Blockade
When you reach the G3 blockade, it’s time to let Lezduit shine. His charged lightning blast can obliterate the barrier in one shot - just aim and fire to clear the way forward.

Fly Through the Spinning Machinery

High on Life - Spinning Machinery Garmantuous
In the tunnel ahead, you’ll encounter large spinning machinery blocking the path. Don’t overthink it - just use your Jetpack to fly through the gaps.

Use All Your Gatlians to Solve the Final Puzzle

High on Life - Last Gatlian Puzzle
This final traversal section is a full showcase of your Gatlian crew—you’ll need everyone to get through it:

  • Use Lezduit to blast through any obstacles or enemies that block your path.
  • Use Sweezy to slow down the fan with her Time Bubble.
  • Fire Gus's discs into Hotwalls to create platforms.
  • Send Creature’s kids through pipes to activate distant switches.
  • And finally, use Kenny’s Glob Shot to rotate platforms and line things up.

Swap tactically and make full use of their abilities. This is your Gatlian victory lap.

Speak to Your Gatlians at a Bench

High on Life - Speak to the Guns at a Park Bench

Before you can confront Garmantuous, speak to your Gatlians so they can settle their differences. After one final group therapy session at a nearby park bench, proceed forward to challenge the G3 Cartel leader.

Kill Garmantuous and Save Earth

High on Life - Defeat Garmantuous

Once you enter the makeshift arena, you will face off against Garmantuous. Kill him to save earth from the G3 Cartel and get the Legendary Bounty Hunter achievement in the process.

While this boss will have 2 phases, he will be pretty easy to beat compared to some of the other G3 boss fights you dealt with earlier in the game.

Use Whichever Gatlian to Sacrifice and Trigger the Bomb

High on Life - Use a Different Gun to Blow Up the Boss

Near the end of the Garmantuous fight, you’ll have to choose which Gatlian pulls the trigger on the bomb. The game suggests using Kenny, but honestly? Pick whoever you want - they’ll all survive no matter what.

Each Gatlian has a unique reaction to being chosen (or not), and it’s worth seeing them for the flavor alone. If you want the hidden Playing Favorites achievement, choose someone other than Kenny to detonate the bomb. Otherwise, go with your gut - it's your moment.

Post-Game Unlocks After the Credits

High on Life - Post-game
Once you defeat Garmantuous and the final cutscene wraps up, the credits will roll. But don’t worry - it’s not truly over. If you load your save after the credits, you’ll return to your house and unlock a small post-game segment.

You can explore more, clean up missed collectibles, and finish side content.

How to Beat Garmantuous (Final Boss)

Garmantuous Boss Fight Tips




Use the Dodge Module to Sidestep the Shots

Despite the absolute bullet hell that Garmantuous unleashes, his shots are relatively easy to dodge. With the large spread and predictable trajectories, simply focus on dodging left or right while shooting and you should be able to outlast this boss even when using only Kenny.

Hug the Edges of the Arena for Easier Dodging

High on Life - Stay Far Away from Garmantuous

To ensure that some of the shots spread out wide and leave gaps for you to dodge through, hug the edges of the arena. This will make dodging easier while also keeping the Durashield Pickups at arm's length should you need a quick top up.

Use Kenny or Lezduit to Deal Damage

High on Life - Using Lezduit Against Garmantuous
Garmantuous is a pushover, deploying boss fight mechanics that are easy to dodge or tank. To beat him, simply use Kenny or Lezduit to whittle away at his HP while he shoots at you. Both his phases will be easy since he presents a very large target for you to shoot at.

Save the Durashield Pickups Until You Hit Low HP

High on Life - Pick up Durashield Packs

There will be a few Durashield Pickups for you at the edges of the arena. Save these for when you hit Low HP so that you can give your HP time to recover.

Enter the Fight with the Slide Bash Unit for Quick Repositions

The Slide Bash upgrade is one of the best suit upgrades you can get since it allows for quick repositions (even faster than the Jetpack). Cruise around the arena if you need to dodge his attacks while letting your HP recover.

Jump or Jetpack Over the Sludge Waves (2nd Phase)

High on Life - Dodge the Sludge Waves

Garmantuous' 2nd Phase is pretty much the same as Jonathan Skrendel. He jumps up and hits the ground, generating waves to toxic sludge that you will have to jump or Jetpack over in order to dodge.
