EGO BOOSTS AVAILABLE: (5)

Find all 34 Ego Boosts in Duke Nukem Forever! This guide details their locations across various levels and the DLC, The Doctor Who Cloned Me. Boost your max ego!

Alright, let's talk about Ego. Think of it like Duke's personal shield – when you take damage, your Ego goes down. If it hits zero, Duke starts flashing red, and he can't take much more before he's toast. The good news is, if you can avoid getting shot for a bit, your Ego will start to recharge on its own. But what we *really* want are Ego Boosts. These permanently increase your maximum Ego capacity, making Duke tougher to bring down. There are 34 of them scattered throughout the game, plus 19 more in the _The Doctor Who Cloned Me_ DLC. Some are unavoidable, but most you'll have to hunt down.
