How to Beat Super Sapper

Struggling with the Super Sapper in Peglin? This guide breaks down its attacks and offers strategies to help you defeat this tough boss in the Mines.

Alright, let's talk about the Super Sapper, also known as the Fat Peglin. This boss shows up in the Mines and has a board that's a bit like Minesweeper, with blocks hiding the pegs. Once you destroy a block, it doesn't come back. ### Attacks The Super Sapper stays put at the back of the stage. It fires one projectile each turn, which doesn't do much damage at first. However, every time it gets hit by a Rigged Bomb, its damage stacks up. Keep an eye out, because Sapper and Flying Sapper enemies will also spawn and head straight for you. ### Strategies Here’s the lowdown on how to handle this guy: * Damage Type: The Super Sapper takes less damage from bombs. While bombs are still useful for clearing out those pesky Sapper minions, you'll want to use high-damage orbs against the boss itself. * Rigged Bombs: The board is littered with rigged bombs. If you have a healing relic or orb, like Nosforbatu, it can really help you recover from the damage they deal. * Shock Orbsorber: This relic is a lifesaver, especially at level three. It reduces the damage you take from Rigged Bombs by 2. * Single Target Damage: If you can hit hard with single-target orbs, that's great, but make sure you clear out the front-most enemies first with bombs or other means. Piercing attacks can also help bypass this issue. If you're struggling to get a good setup, make your first shot count – it might be your only clear shot! * Infernal Ingot: This relic can be super helpful because there's a lot of health to leech. Just be careful, though – a Sapper or Flying Sapper could end your run if you're not watching out. ### Version History * v0.8.28: Poltorbgeist now properly hits when at low damage. * v0.7.56: The Pegboard is now denser. * v0.7.42: Introduced.
