Uruku

Description

Uruku is a biomechanoid Variant of Athetos and the game's 3rd boss. It appears as a large, slug-like creature with various bits of weaponry attached to its body. Athetos created Uruku by first cloning himself with one of Sudra's Rebirth Chambers, and then making biomechanoid modifications to the clone.

In one of the game's Notes, the clone describes its feelings as it slowly becomes the monster Uruku.

Trace enters Uruku's lair.

Battle

Trace confronts Uruku in a large room in the upper-right portion of Zi. Trace becomes trapped in the room and, as Uruku seems intent on d estroying Trace, he must find its weak points to destroy it. Uruku will fire various projectiles from its armaments, as well as a high-energy laser from the cannon on its shoulder. All of these weapons can be destroyed by focusing fire on them.

After defeating Uruku, the player must use the Address Disruptor to glitch a series of blocks, making his way across these platforms to the upper-right door in the room. This will give Trace access to both the Power Filter and the Modified Lab Coat , which can then be used to obtain the return and obtain a Health Node upon returning to the boss room.

Strategies

There are many ways to approach this battle. The blocks on the left side of the room will provide the player with some cover from Uruku's various attacks.

• The most straightforward strategy is to stand at the room's entrance, using the purple block-walls for cover and slowly wittle away at the bomb-launchers on Uruku's lower body. After doing so, you can take shots at Uruku's mouth during openings in the barrages.
• An easier, but slow strategy is to stand of the upper 2-block wall on the left side of the room, jumping straight up and firing at the cannons on Uruku's back. The player can remain stationary as the laser sweeps the room to avoid its blast entirely. Destroying the upper cannons will drastically reduce the oncoming fire you take from the creature, and when they are all gone, you will be free to jump onto the 3-block wall (the one you used for cover) and fire downward into its mouth to finish the boss off.
• A faster, bolder strategy is to immediately run through the pink wastewater at the start of the fight, directly at Uruku. You can use the Address Disruptor to glitch the single blocks just above the water. Doing so will allow the player to stand just below the second bomb-launcher and easily destroy it with the Kilver. Then you can use the Axiom Disruptor to fire upward and to the left at Uruku's mouth to finish him off.
