Why This Boss Hits Different

Swarm mechanics that'll make you itch: Those pesky wasp minions? Total nightmare fuel until you crack their patterns.
Phase Breakdown: Tag-Team Tactics
- Swarm Clearing 101
First things first – Cody must weaken the clouds of wasps circling Her Royal Highness. Once tagged, May finishes them with explosive flair. Watch out when they morph into weapons though! Dodge or get wrecked. Pro tip: Sync your callouts like "Tagging left swarm!" or "Boom incoming!"
- Frontal Assault Party
With guards down, Cody lights up the Queen's glowing weak points. But wait! May's gotta detonate them immediately after. Hit both front sections systematically – patience beats panic every time. Remember: She'll counterattack after each hit, so...
- Rail Grind Shuffle
Time to get fancy! Hop onto grinding rails behind her (coordination check alert!). While Cody shoots defensive wasps, May must plant bombs on her backside. This part separates the dynamic duos from the hot messes – if your timing's off, prepare for wipe city.
- Final Headshot Hustle
Once her body's crippled, repeat the tag-and-blast routine on her head. Three solid combos typically seal the deal. Celebrate with high-fives because dang, that was intense!
