No More Heroes 3 (NMH3)

Minoru Basic Info & How to Beat

Add to Watchlist

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

Minoru Basic Information

Minoru
NMH3 Minoru Alien
Description
Made up of only cell protoplasm, they're physically fragile, but very intelligent. Their battle armor is able to launch devastating electrical attacks from the front!
Jeane's Tip
"If one of the parasites shot out from its mouth latches onto you, you'll be rendered immobile!"

How to Beat Minoru

Strategy Checklist
  • Avoid the alien parasite that shoots out of its mouth
  • Block all its attacks

Minoru shoots out an alien parasite that inches its way toward you. You can't attack the parasite, so avoid it to prevent it from rendering you immobile until you take damage. Besides that, Minoru's attacks are relatively basic and can all be blocked.
