Phases:

1. Twin ATVs
   Location: End of level 3, before Longhunter.
   Description: Two ATVs equipped with Missile Launchers.
   Weapons Used: Missile Launchers.
   Strategy: Strafe to avoid rockets and use the Assault Rifle or Tek Arrows. Utilize ammo and power-ups on the edge of the arena.
2. Longhunter
   Location: End of level 3, after the Twin ATVs.
   Description: A heavily armored soldier.
   Weapons Used: Assault Rifle, Plasma Rifle.
   Strategy: Avoid triangular long-range attacks and Plasma Rifle mid-range attacks. Use the Automatic Shotgun at mid-to-far range if low on energy, or up close if heavily armored. Battle should conclude in under 30 seconds.
3. Giant Mantis
   Location: End of level 5.
   Description: A massive praying mantis.
   Weapons Used: Claws, acidic saliva.
   Strategy: Trigger the boss by approaching the mantis statue. Use the Auto Shotgun and strafe. Avoid enlarged area attacks (saliva) and claw swipes. Continue firing until its skin falls off and it explodes. Ammo is available on the perimeter.
