Chesthole Basic Information

Chesthole
NMH3 Chesthole Alien
Description
Dimension-bending movement and lasers shot from his sharp fingers... This intelligent alien is a master of ranged battle. The floating mines he produces from an interdimensional portal are extremely deadly!
Jeane's Tip
"Watch out for his ranged attacks! He sucks at close combat, though. Dodge his mines and get in close!"

How to Beat Chesthole

Strategy Checklist

Use Death Rain

Chesthole No More Heroes 3.jpg

Chestholes normally don't leave the center of the stage, because they prefer to just shoot energy balls at you from where they are. You can launch Death Rain at them while focusing on other enemies in parts of the stage that are covered by objects (such as crates, pillars, or barriers), which will shield you from their projectiles.

Focus on Chestholes Last

When only the Chestholes remain, you'll have more freedom to spam them with combos and dodge their green orb minefield. You can use Death Kick to approach them.
