BOSS: BIRD-KING

Learn the Bird-King's attack patterns and exploit his weaknesses to defeat him quickly in Metal Eden. Get tips on evolving your neck for easy healing!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Boss: Bird-King
• Weakness: Close-range biting when cornered.
• Attack: Flashing neon spheres (high damage).

Phases:

1. The Bird-King will zigzag around the arena, firing neon spheres.
2. If you manage to corner him, he'll attempt to escape, but you can get in several bites before he does.

Strategy:

• When you first encounter the Bird-King, you'll be given a choice to join his civilization or fight him. To fight him, choose 'No'. Choosing 'Yes' leads to a hollow ending where you'll have to redo the Fort Bird-Man levels.
• The Bird-King's main attack is his neon spheres, which deal significant damage. The key to this fight is to corner him.
• Once you've cornered the Bird-King, repeatedly bite him. He can escape, but you'll land about five or six bites before he gets away.
• If you find your life (LP) running low, don't panic! The Bird-King is one of the tougher bosses, but you can easily heal. Evolving your neck is the cheapest way to restore all your LP (cost: 200 LP). You should have enough points by now to evolve it multiple times.
• Keep biting him whenever you get the chance and use your neck evolution for healing. This strategy should take him down in mere moments.
• After defeating the Bird-King, he'll drop prime meat cuts. Head to the teleporter on the right side of the arena to escape the collapsing fortress.
• Once you're back on the map, the only level left to conquer is the Domain of Hynodon. The explosion from the Bird-Man Fort has cleared the icy monolith that previously blocked the cave entrance on the far left.
• Inside the Domain of Hynodon, you'll encounter a small yeti. He'll question your evolution, and regardless of your dialogue choice ('Is something wrong' or 'I stopped evolving'), a battle will begin.
