Learn how to defeat the red bird-man and the final boss Bolbox in Metal Eden. This guide provides strategies for the easiest and final encounters in the game.
This is the easiest guy you'll have to fight, and you'll know he's going to pop out because this sphere floats so high up in the air. The red bird-man is the only one of Bolbox's minions who is totally defenseless if you repeatedly bite it down. Corner it and chew it up until it gives up the ghost, then eat its meat for the EP and LP.
After Bolbox has expelled every last sphere from his evil, evil cytoplasm of death, he is himself vulnerable in the same spot as ever, except now it's affecting him directly. Run up to him and start biting/clubbing the green hand on the end of his arm. Four more hits will do him in, as he has no more orbs with evil creatures inside to throw at you. He will fade out of existence, starting from the top and moving down, until he is gone completely. Gaia will then speak, telling you that there would have been no future if Bolbox had moved on to Eden. Afterward, exit stage right to set up the game's epilogue.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
Run down the empty shaft you are transported to after leaving Bolbox's gross intestinal lair. A door will lead you outside, and Gaia's upper body will be suspended in the sky, there to congratulate you for completing the harsh evolutionary journey. While you go to populate the planet in your perfect body with the divine Gaia, the scene will shift to a planet that on the surface is not unlike Mars.
Two aliens will appear, expressing their remorse for planting the crystals on Earth and interfering with the natural evolution process.
In addition, the Sun, who is Gaia's father, will also join in on the obligatory congratulations, and will bestow upon you a thing called "Intelligence," which will in your hands create great civilizations or cause many more difficult trials. From there, you and Gaia will go to Eden together into the unknown (as illustrated by that final step into the Time Trans) to start a new life together, in a brave new world.....
Annnnnnnnd, roll credits!
