How to Beat The Monogon Core

Learn how to defeat the Monogon Core in Boneworks with this comprehensive guide. Discover strategies, tips, and tricks to overcome this challenging boss.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Armor: Extremely high, making direct damage ineffective.
• Weak Points: Exposed vents and glowing conduits that appear during specific attack patterns.
• Vulnerability: Limited to brief windows when weak points are exposed.

Phases:

1. Initial Assault: The Core remains stationary, firing energy blasts and deploying small, agile drones. Focus on dodging and eliminating drones while identifying the first weak point.
2. Drone Swarm: The Core may periodically cease direct attacks to deploy a larger wave of drones. Prioritize clearing these to avoid being overwhelmed.
3. Core Exposure: During or after specific attack animations, the Core will expose glowing conduits or vents. This is your primary window to deal damage.
4. Enraged State: As its health depletes, the Core may increase attack speed and deploy drones more frequently. Maintain focus and exploit any remaining openings.

Strategy:

• Utilize the environment for cover against the Core's primary attacks.
• Prioritize eliminating the smaller drones as they can quickly overwhelm you.
• Learn the Core's attack patterns to anticipate when its weak points will be exposed.
• Use high-damage weapons or explosives on the exposed weak points for maximum effect.
• Be patient; this fight requires observation and precise timing rather than brute force.
• If available, use the gravity gun to throw environmental objects at the Core during its vulnerable phases.
