The scourge of Cauldron SNAX is capable of draining the planet of flora and creating strong opponents to strip this world bare. Is this the end...? |
Horucopia is a Megaboss found in Cauldron SNAX. It is as destructive as the bug it's based on, being an extreme threat to not just all life, but all of this world.
Info[]
You'll find a dormant Horucopia against an enormous battlefield, with tens of hundreds of Corruptcopias and Deathcopias, also dormant. After inspecting the Horucopia, you'll find a glowing grape near the underside. Launching a rock at it causes the once-dormant Horucopia will spring to life, furious at the destruction of one of the grapes it uses to dispel heat, it's only true weakness.
Like all the other Megabosses, you have 5 hearts in this fight. If all hearts are lost, all is lost.
At the start, the Horucopia will swing it's huge, 45-meter arms at you. These will often collide with the walls, causing boulders to fall down.
Sometimes, the boulders will land on a nearby tank, causing it to explode and burst into flames. This will give you a chance to place your Trip Shot on it and fire the Trip Shot at another one of the Horucopia's glowing grapes (We will now refer to them as heat sinks). This'll weaken the heat sink and make it vulnerable to having a rock launched at it. The tricky part is launching the rock.
Some of the nearby dormant Corruptcopias will wake up and attack. It's best to take care of them before going in for the blow. When the Corruptcopias are gone, launch a rock at the heat sink to make it combust, entering the next phase.
At the start of this phase, you'll first have to pass through a massive horde of Corruptcopias. After defeating and catching ten, the Horucopia will lash out at the entire battlefield, destroying everything. It'll then turn around and start matching towards the water behind it. In this phase, you have to intercept the Horucopia before it reaches the coast. If it reaches the water, you instantly fail and have to redo the phase.
It will summon a surge of copias at you; about five dozen Corruptcopias, with a sole Deathcopia at the end of the line. It's better to only peel off their tail-cob than to catch them because it takes away time that you already don't have at this moment. It's also best to simply evade the Deathcopia until you get out of the Deathcopia's range.
If you can reach the Horucopia, you'll find that their legs are smooth enough for a Trip Shot to be placed on them, and since the Horucopia is overheating, some parts of the legs are ablaze. Place the Trip Shot on one and fire it at seemingly the final heat sink.
Livid, the Horucopia will summon literally humdreds of Deathcopias in the arena. The Horucopia will now make sure of a new attack; It'll dig its arms into the ground, and they'll pop out shortly after. It's pause for a short period before delivering the blow, so you can dodge away before getting hit.
After doing this attack 6 times, it's arm will get stuck in the ground, revealing a hidden hear sink attached to the arm. Hit it with fire, and it'll explode, destroying everything nearby.
After the explosion, you'll find a shrunken-down Horucopia that's on fire. You can use the Lunchpad to launch it into water to put out the fire, and then you can scoop up the Horucopia in the Bug Net.
