How to Beat Thurston

Save Boosts and Big Attacks

This chapter's boss can only be attacked once you destroy the accompanying steam engine. And when you do, you only have a small window to deal damage until they summon another steam engine to protect themselves. Make sure that when you're about to destroy the Steam Engine, when its name is colored red, you have enough attacks to immediately break Thurston and deal a huge amount of damage.
