Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on the Space Sheath alien in No More Heroes 3 (NMH3) for the Nintendo Switch. Read on to learn where to encounter and how to beat Space Sheath!

Space Sheath Basic Information

Space Sheath
NMH3 Space Sheath Alien
Description
This alien spits corrosive bio-bombs and a weird worm-like creature from his enormous mouth. This is one truly terrifying monster! Destroy him - the world is at stake!
Jeane's Tip
"His weak spot is inside his mouth! Try to keep moving around him! Don't stop in one place for too long!"

How to Beat Space Sheath

Strategy Checklist

Fire Missiles Inside its Mouth

NMH3 Beat Space Sheath

Space Sheath's weak spots are the crystal orbs inside the multiple mouths lining its body. You can only shoot at the orb when the mouth is open. When the mouth closes, circle its body looking for the open mouth. Look for the white lens flare, as that signals the glow of an orb in an open mouth.

Use Boost to Dodge Projectiles

NMH3 Space Sheath Fight

While shooting at the orbs, you'll have to dodge a lot of projectiles. Use boost for movement, especially in Phase 2, where the projectiles follow you around. Don't use the laser cannon, as that attack uses the boost fuel and reduces mobility.

Phase 3: Aim for Orb

In Phase 3, the orb inside the Space Sheath's mouths will fly outside of its body and fire projectiles at you. Fire missiles at the orb until the Space Sheath is defeated. Note that the orb flies back into the alien's mouth and reemerges from another mouth.
