Guide Deadpool through Magneto's citadel, facing waves of enemies and the brutal trio of Arclight, Blockbuster, and Vertigo. Learn their attacks and strategies to win!

Alright, let's get this Part 9 done. This level is pretty straightforward until the end, so don't sweat the small stuff. We're heading to Magneto's old stomping grounds.

Boss Fight: Arclight, Blockbuster, and Vertigo

This is it, the toughest boss encounter in the game. All three of them are coming at you at once, and they're using all their nasty tricks. Here’s a refresher on what they do:

• Arclight:
  • Ground Slam: Slows you down and prevents teleporting if you're on the ground when it hits. If you're right next to her, you'll take damage from the impact.
  • Energy Slash: A straight-line attack with a short charge-up. Keep moving to dodge it.
  • Punch/Dash Strike: Her most basic attack, but it can break your combos and doesn't have much warning. Thankfully, it doesn't hit too hard.
  • Grab, Throw, Slam: If she gets close, she can grab you, toss you, and slam you. This can't be easily avoided and starts a short cutscene, but she can't spam it.
• Blockbuster:
  • Charge: He'll charge at you, and you'll see an 'O' prompt to counter it. Doing so stuns him, leaving him open for attacks.
  • Hurl Projectile: He'll grab a pillar or boulder and throw it. Dodge by teleporting or running; hiding behind pillars won't work as he'll smash through them.
  • Smash Attack: He grabs a rock and tries to smash you with it. You need to get close and circle him until he attempts the smash, then dodge.
• Vertigo: Her main attack is distorting the screen, making it hard to see. The good news? A single bullet to the head kills her. You *could* try to take her out first if you can spot her, or just deal with the visual chaos and focus on the others. She doesn't actually deal damage herself.

Strategy:

• Use the large arena to your advantage. Run to one end and unload on Arclight with your guns as she approaches. She's faster than Blockbuster, so get your hits in before she closes the distance. Try to counter her charge if you can, but otherwise, just keep your distance.
• Keep running around, trying to keep Arclight and Blockbuster separated. Once you finally take down Arclight, some more enemies will spawn. Deal with them quickly, then focus on Blockbuster.
• Handle Blockbuster like before: wait for his charge and counter to stun him. He'll go down much easier now that Arclight's out of the picture.
• After all three Marauders are defeated, Sinister will show up again, this time with a bunch of clones. Clear them out until the next scene triggers.
• Finally, Sinister himself appears just as Wolverine, Domino, Psylocke, and Rogue arrive. Sinister will easily take them down, but Deadpool has a plan. When Sinister gets close, hit the prompt (it'll be an 'O' button prompt) to punch him in the balls. This triggers the final cutscene, and the credits will roll. A
