How to defeat The Strap boss in Furi?
Last update: 25 July 2016
The second boss fight is definitely more demanding and requires memorizing all its moves and methods how to avoid them. The Strap does not use many melee attacks but it can shoot really fast and become immune to your strikes. Attack it after it uses one of its abilities.
Phase 1
1. The first type of attack are energy orbs which can be easily destroyed.
2. The second type of strike can be easily avoided if you keep your enemy at a distance. As soon as it shines blue, a power field will be created around it. Don’t get too close to it.
3. The basic attack of the Strap is a blue laser beam, which can be dodged without any difficulties. Remember that you can attack the enemy as soon as you see the laser. It’s best to stand close to it, quickly jump behind its back and stop its action with a rapid blow.
Phase 1.5
1. Your enemy performs a slowly delayed melee attack.
2. The blue laser beam mentioned before. Avoid it in the same way.
Phase 2
1. The opponent will launch pink energy orbs that spread rapidly and follow our hero. It’s best to run away from them and lure the Strap to a location with no projectiles.
2. The wave of orange orbs is an attack that cannot be avoided. However, you can jump over them or hide behind a wall.
3. Another type of attack are colorful orbs that are being launched at high speed. It’s best to destroy them with your own projectiles. Among the orbs, you can come across green projectiles that contain healing objects.
Phase 2.5
1. Once again you will have to avoid single melee strikes and the blue laser beam.
2. Another type of attack is a blow preceded by a red hologram which covers 3 of the circle. Dodge it by jumping quickly to the safe zone.
3. The boss will create a power field around itself, so get out of its range as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will receive damage.
Phase 3
1. The opponent will shoot a single pink orb that will follow your hero. You can avoid it by hiding behind an object or throw it back by blocking the projectile.
2. Your opponent will perform combos of melee attacks – two quick strikes and one powerful but delayed one.
Phase 3.5
The enemy will perform the same strikes as before.
Phase 4
1. This time the boss will shoot three shock waves, one after another. The first two are narrow, so it should be easy to avoid them. To dodge the third one you will have to run away and perform a longer dodge by holding down the button.
2. Only the melee attacks will change. The enemy will perform four strikes and each one will be faster than the previous one. The first one will be slightly delayed, and the forth one will be performed right after the third one.
Phase 4.5
Only the melee attacks will change – two rapid strikes from now on.
Phase 5
Your enemy will hide so you will have to search the entire arena.
1. The Strap will produce blue shock waves. They can be avoided with a basic move.
2. Melee attacks will consist of three rapid strikes.
Phase 5.5
1. When the creature glows yellow, you need to prepare yourself. The Strap will jump into the air and try to swoop upon your hero.
2. Melee attacks will consist of four, slightly delayed strikes.
Phase 6
1. The creature will surround itself with a blue circle, which you cannot step on, and shoot colorful orbs your way. Shoot at them from a safe distance.
2. Once this is over, The Strap will use its laser beam. The creature will move it from one side to another and you will have to avoid it all the time.
Phase 6.5
The last phase of the battle is rather simple. All you have to do is to avoid the laser beam by moving to places safe from the red hologram. The boss will strike no sooner than he stops glowing yellow and you avoid his blue shock wave. A couple of accurate blows will be enough to finish the battle.
