How to defeat The Line boss in Furi?

Last update: 25 July 2016

The fight with The Line consists of four long phases, so the entire process requires a lot of patience. You should focus on avoiding its strikes and not performing your own blows.

Phase 1

Your task is to destroy layers surrounding the creature and hit it with at least one projectile. You will face several obstacles, such as:

1. All your projectiles will be reflected from the shields and fired back at you. You can avoid them or just destroy them. Apart from that each reflected projectile will become a larger orb about halfway through the phase.

2. The enemy will fire its own projectiles at you, some of which are green orbs that contain healing objects.

3. The last type of attack in this phase are orange orbs. To avoid them you may constantly move to the side or perform two rapid dodges once you see the wave.

The best strategy is to stay in the back and fire. This way you will destroy any projectile that will come your way. You will still have to look out for orange shock waves. Two dodges should be enough to avoid them.

Phase 2

1. At the beginning of this phase, circles made of energy orbs will appear around our hero. At first they will move away from the player but they will go through the middle and try to strike him. Dodge the orbs when they come closer. Hold down the button to exceed its range.

2. After few blows, your enemy will stand in the middle of the arena and surround itself with indestructible orbs. Avoid them and fire at the pillar the boss is standing at. You need to be extremely careful, as each accurate shot will create a shock wave that will cover the surrounding area. It’s best to synchronize the shot (wave) with incoming projectiles to have a chance to avoid both. The perfect moment to strike is when orbs are moving towards the center. When that happens, shoot at the pillar, and jump back to avoid incoming orbs. You will end up in the outer circle of the arena and you will have enough time to dodge incoming waves.

3. The boss will fire single projectiles from time to time, but you can destroy them. Those that are green will contain healing objects.

4. Once you destroy the pillar, your enemy will summon a lot of blue and green orbs. You may try to destroy them, but you won’t have much time to do that. After some time the enemy will engage in direct combat. Once you deflect some of his delayed single strikes, all the orbs will halt. Your own projectiles won’t move as well, so don’t fire. Instead, focus on dodging incoming strikes.

5. The boss will perform single blows from time to time, or perform the following combo: one slightly delayed blow, one rapid one and another delayed one.

6. Another attack is a sequence of three shock waves. The first one will be short, the following two will be short as well, and the last one covers 360 degrees.

Phase 2.5

1. The basic sequence is one slightly delayed blow, two rapid ones and another delayed one.

2. Another one is a combo of three strikes preceded by a red hologram. Avoid them and head for safe areas scattered around the arena.

Phase 3

1. The opponent will stand on the pillar once again. Your task will be to destroy it but every accurate shoot will cause a round shock wave that will be hard to avoid due to incoming orbs from left and right. In order not to get hit, remain in the inner part of the arena throughout the majority of time. As soon as you see orbs, head for the edge of the location to avoid them and then go back to your primary position.

2. Once you destroy the pillar, a lot of orbs that will halt after your first successful dodge. When the time stops, find yourself a relatively free area and prepare yourself for further attacks. A sequence of three orange waves will be the same as in the previous phase but melee attacks will differ: a delayed, quick, delayed, quick attack that will end with an energy circle when your opponent raises his weapon. Escape it to avoid damage.

Phase 3.5

1. Your enemy will use two sequences of melee attacks: a delayed, quick, delayed strike or delayed, quick and preceded by a red hologram one.

2. From time to time, the boss will perform three strikes preceded by holograms. They can be easily avoided.

Phase 4

1. During the last stage of the fight, the enemy will summon many orbs and create round waves. Avoid both and keep firing at the boss.

2. After few shoots the boss will no longer summon waves but he will create some more projectiles. Avoid them and destroy pillars scattered around the arena. Once they are destroyed, blocking one projectile will be enough to end the battle.
