How to defeat The Scale boss in Furi?

Last update: 25 July 2016

Phase 1

1. Soon after the enemy starts shining green, he will launch a series of projectiles in straight lines. Stand far away from the beast, performing a quick dodge to the left or to the right and shoot the enemy constantly.

2. A more difficult variant of the previous attack, in which a green circle appears around the enemy. When that happens, the enemy will launch his projectiles a lot faster. Dodge them in the same manner as before.

3. The third type of attack are short shockwaves, that can be dodged or avoided by standing in the gap in the wave.

4. When the boss disappears under the water, prepare to parry his attacks. During the first phase his attacks are a little delayed, so wait for half a second before pressing the button. The enemy will perform three attacks in a row. If you want to, you can dodge his attacks, by parrying will allow you to replenish health.

Phase 1.5

In this form the enemy has two attacks that he performs alternately:

1. When three fourth of the circle starts shining red, perform a quick dodge to the smaller safe zone. You must do that twice before you can start attacking the enemy.

2. After the attack with red shockwaves, the enemy will start attacking you in melee range. Those will be two attacks delayed by half a second. Parry them and attack the enemy.

Phase 2

1. Similarly to the first phase, the enemy will shoot projectiles at you. However, this time he will shoot single projectiles that scatted into three flying in a spiral motion. You can dodge them in two ways:

a) Stand as far away as you can from the enemy – the attack won’t reach you.

b) Stand near the beam and perform a dodge as soon as the projectile splits into three.

2. The second attack is again a green circle around the enemy and more beams, but this time flying in a spiral motion. Dodge them by sidestepping. Don’t forget to shoot the enemy constantly.

3. Melee attacks will remain the same as in the first phase, but their number will increase to three.

Phase 2.5

1. This time the red shockwaves will occupy two opposite quarters of the circle, and they will change. After dodging two waves you can attack the enemy.

2. Again, two attacks that are a little delayed.

Phase 3

1. When the enemy disappears under the water, prepare to parry a single quick attack. The enemy will do this twice.

2. The beast will start shining green again and will launch two shockwaves shortly after. The first one will have 360 degrees – you must avoid it with a dodge. The second one is torn – you can run past it or stand in such a way that it simply avoids you.

3. When the enemy loses half of his health, he will move to the center of the arena and launch three shockwaves. You must dodge them.

4. When the enemy has half of his health, he will change his melee attacks. This time it will be either two single attacks, or one double attack. The latter one happens very fast – press the parry button quickly to block it.

Phase 3.5

1. This time the shockwaves will take two fourths of the screen, and sometimes three fourths. Additionally, each sequence will consist of four of those waves. Attack the enemy after the fourth one.

2. The enemy can suddenly disappear under the water. If that happens, act in accordance to the information on the screen.

3. The enemy will perform a sequence of quick melee attacks in this sequence.

Phase 4

1. The first attack is a green beam, that will scatter to all direction in a straight line. Avoid it by standing far away from the enemy and sidestepping. Don’t forget to shoot the enemy all the time.

2. Halfway through the phase the enemy will clone itself, and each one of his clones will launch a green beam that will travel in a straight line, or in a spiral motion. Move in a circular motion and shoot at the enemies, dodging their attacks. Remember that the attacking enemy is invulnerable to your attacks.

3. Melee attacks are now a little more difficult. This time the beast will perform a single delayed attack, after which three quick ones will happen.

Phase 4.5

1. Sequence of two attacks. The first one delayed, the second one quick.

2. The same sequence as in the first attack, the only difference is that a shockwave will appear after the quick attack.

3. The boss will summon a green shockwave from time to time. To avoid it, use the quick dodge.

Phase 5

1. The first attack of the boss is about launching green balls that scatter into multiple smaller ones. Avoid them by standing far away from the enemy and shooting at them.

2. After the enemy approaches you, he will start a series of four attacks. The first one will be a little delayed, the second will be quick, the third delayed and the fourth quick. Parry them all.

3. In the middle of the phase the enemy will summon more clones, this time shooting balls moving in a circular motion. Defeat the enemies as quickly as you can, running around the ring. The alternative version of the attack are round shockwaves. Avoid them with dodges.

Phase 5.5

1. The first sequence of attacks after the enemy jumps out of the water is a series of two single and one double attacks. Those attacks are perfect to replenish your health with parries.

2. The second sequence is a little more difficult. The enemy will perform two quick attacks, and then launch two quick shockwaves that must be dodged. After the second shockwave you can attack enemy.

Phase 6

The last phase is short, but requires perfect mastery of dodges. At the start the enemy will shrink the arena, creating two green circles, and he will start launching balls of energy and shockwaves. To avoid taking damage, stand as far away as you can and shoot the enemy in a straight line. You will destroy the balls approaching you. If a shockwave approaches you, avoid it with a dodge and continue shooting at the enemy.

After a short time, the amount of space will decrease again – first vertical lines will appear, and then horizontal ones as well. A grill will appear. Stand in the middle of one of the boxes and observe the area carefully. When you spot a beast, prepare for a shockwave. To dodge it, and don’t bump into one of the green lines, move to the furthers of the middle zones (in accordance to the shockwave) to dodge the wave and jump from one box into another on in a single move. The key to success is proper positioning in accordance to the enemy when he shoots a wave and good dodging to don’t bump into a line.

When the lanes disappear, parry the enemy attack and finish him off.
