Learn how to defeat the final boss, Ugh-Zan, in Serious Sam: The First Encounter. This guide covers the arena mechanics and boss attack patterns to help you finish him off.

Alright, we're at the final stretch! It's time to put Ugh-Zan down for good. This fight takes place in a pretty unique arena, so pay attention to how it works.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, as soon as the fight starts, run to one of the corners of the arena. You'll find an item there – grab it quickly.
  2. 2
    Immediately after grabbing the item, hop onto one of the Jump Pads. These are key to the fight.
  3. 3
    The Jump Pad will launch you through a special hoop. Make sure you don't linger in the launch area, or you might get hit by something unexpected.
  4. 4
    Head to the next corner and use another Jump Pad to go through the next hoop. Keep circling the perimeter of the arena, using the Jump Pads to go through all the hoops.
  5. 5
    Once you've gone through all the hoops, it's time to get Ugh-Zan's attention. Try to lure him towards the center of the arena.
  6. 6
    Hang tight for a few seconds. A massive charge attack will zap Ugh-Zan in the center, taking a huge chunk out of his health.
  7. 7
    You'll need to repeat this process a few times to bring him down. However, this central zap attack alone won't be enough to finish him.
  8. 8
    While you're luring him and using the Jump Pads, constantly fire your Cannon at him. Keep the pressure on!
  9. 9
    Ugh-Zan's attacks are pretty straightforward, so focus on dodging them while you set up the arena traps.
  10. 10
    Keep repeating the cycle of luring him to the center, hitting him with the charge, and peppering him with Cannon fire until he finally goes down.
Tips
  • Don't stand still for too long, especially when Ugh-Zan is about to attack. Keep moving around the arena.
  • Prioritize using the Jump Pads and going through the hoops. This is how you set up his biggest damage opportunities.
  • The Cannon is your best friend for consistent damage while you're waiting for the arena trap to recharge or for Ugh-Zan to move to the center.
  • Watch out for his projectiles and melee attacks. Learn their patterns to dodge them effectively.
