Tripleput Basic Information

Tripleput
NMH3 Tripleput Alien
Description
For this reptilian alien, males and females are born conjoined. They're able to turn invisible by warping the surrounding light. They're also relentless hunters!
Jeane's Tip
"Watch out for his charges when he turns invisible! If you can dodge him, then get behind him and whoop his ass!"

How to Beat Tripleput

Strategy Checklist

Dodge Its Slide Attack

Before the Tripleput launches into its powerful slide attack, it will jump backwards. Watch out for the Tripleput that jumps backward then get ready to dodge it.

Invisibility Triggers With Low HP

On Spicy Difficulty, the hearts denoting enemy HP disappear starting Episode 8. Fortunately, the Tripleput starts using its invisibility ability only when it's lost more than half of its health. Use this to gauge when a Tripleput is close to being defeated.
