It's Me! Fizzie!

Follow this Sunset Overdrive guide to destroy Fizzco's radio transmitters and defeat the giant balloon boss, Fizzie. Learn Fizzie's attack patterns and how to stun him!

Alright, so you've just finished chatting with Norton and are about to dive into the mission "It's Me! Fizzie!". Get ready for a new trick: the air dash! This nifty move lets you boost through the air after a jump, which is super handy for crossing big gaps or keeping your grind/bounce/wall-run combos going. Keep that in mind!

Your first objective is to head towards a radio tower you can see in the distance. When you get there, you'll run into some new baddies called Fizzco Blade Bots. Think of them as robotic versions of those Scab rushers you've already met. They're all about getting up close and personal for some nasty melee attacks, and they can even leap at you from a distance, so stay sharp!

The main goal here is to take out three radio transmitters. The first one is chilling on the roof of a nearby building, inside a fenced-off area. Before you go for it, clear out any Rifle and Blade Bots hanging around. Once the coast is clear, shoot or melee the transmitter until it's toast.

After that first transmitter goes down, use the circular platforms it spawns to bounce your way up. You'll land on a railing you can ride to a catwalk. Climb the stairs to a bigger platform. This time, you'll have both OD and Fizzco forces to deal with. The transmitter is on the south side, above the supports. You *can* just shoot it from afar without fighting, but it's way safer to clear out some enemies first to give yourself some breathing room.

Once that second transmitter is history, use the bounce pads to keep ascending. After a bit of a climb, a cutscene will kick in, and then it's time for the main event: the boss fight against Fizzie!

Boss Fight: Fizzie

So, Fizzie is basically a giant, menacing balloon that shoots death lasers from its eyes. You can spot these lasers coming pretty easily, so dodging them shouldn't be too tough. Most of this fight will involve you grinding up and down the circular poles around the arena while avoiding those lasers.

To actually damage Fizzie, you need to hit three bounce pads in a row. This will stun him. While he's out of commission, unload everything you've got into his eyes. Grind as close as you can and let loose with your arsenal. Once he snaps out of it, just repeat the process. He'll move around a bit more as his health drops, but the basic strategy stays the same until he's down to about a third of his health.

When Fizzie's health gets low enough, he'll reveal a third eye right between the other two and start firing heat-seeking missiles at you too. Just keep dodging those while still hammering away at his eyes, and you'll take him down in no time.
