  • Duke Bots and Duke Clones can be killed with a Steroids melee hit or a single RPG on normal difficulty.
  • Beer and Steroids significantly increase Duke's defense while active.
  • Most bosses can be stunned after taking sufficient damage, providing an opportunity for a finishing blow.
  • The Alien Dropship has 1200 HP, with damage phases at 800 and 400 HP.
  • Alien Queen HP is 2700.
  • Octaking HP is 1776 in the first battle.
