Guide to Scarstu Debris Field - Zurkie's II in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, including how to defeat Dr. Nefarious and find the Warmonger weapon.
Walkthrough
- 1When you gain control of Rivet, proceed to Zurkie's.
- 2Upon entering Zurkie's, a cutscene (an in-game cinematic) will play.
- 3After the cutscene, you will begin the boss fight against Dr. Nefarious.
- 4Stage One: Dr. Nefarious will use a Blade Swipe attack; watch for this and dodge. He may also grab explosive crates to throw at you. When his health reaches 80%, he will use the Dimensionator, transporting you to Blizar Prime on a grind rail. You must change rails or jump to avoid minecarts. At the end of the grind rail, you will use the Hurlshot (a grappling tool) to reach an arena.
- 5Stage Two: Continue fighting Dr. Nefarious. He will throw explosive crates and use his Blade Swipe. When his health reaches 55%, he will introduce a new attack: dropping a bomb-like device that spreads upon landing. At 50% health, he will change the scenery again.
- 6Stage Three: You will be on Sargasso. You must defeat the Grunthor (a large creature) while also keeping an eye on Dr. Nefarious. After defeating the Grunthor, focus back on Nefarious. When his health is around 30%, he will use a new attack, firing in multiple directions. Use your Hoverboots (a mobility tool) to dodge these attacks. At 25% health, the scenery will change for the final phase.
- 7Stage Four: You will return to Zurkie's for the final part of the fight. Watch for Dr. Nefarious's Blade Swipe attack and the Nefarious Trooper heads that appear. Prioritize taking out the Trooper heads before focusing on Nefarious again. He will also drop bombs. Once you defeat him, a cutscene will trigger.
