9-Torg Main Attacks in High on Life

This boss doesn’t have many attack patterns and memorizing them is the key to defeating 9-Torg.

Shooting Small Pink Lasers

During the whole fight, the main attacks used by 9-Torg will be small pink lasers shot from her gun. These don’t deal much damage and can be easily dodged either by avoiding them or by hiding behind boxes.

Big Green Laser

Occasionally, the boss will jump back and do a huge AoE attack with a green laser. To avoid this, players will need to jump at the right time.

For this mechanic, practice makes perfect so don’t get upset if you get hit a few times. Also, it’s not punishing since it doesn’t do much damage.

Floor is Lava

9-Torg jumps in the green ooze and makes the arena floor disappear. Players will have to stay in the air by jumping around constantly for the next few seconds.

Falling into the ooze isn’t an instadeath, so even if you miss a jump, there’s time to recover.

Charged Attack

Occasionally, the boss will charge its weapon and shoot a green slow-moving ball. While it can be dodged easily, I highly recommend equipping Knifey, one of the best weapons in the game, and trying to deflect it.

This will do a significant amount of damage at 9-Torg and it can make the fight significantly easier.

Another useful tip is to use Kenny’s ability, which will temporarily knock down the boss and give you a chance to deal solid damage.

Wrapping up

To sum up, that’s everything you need to know on how to defeat the 9-Torg boss in High on Life, as well as how to find it.

Finding the boss is fairly straightforward as long as you follow the main quest markers. As for defeating it, focus on memorizing the attack patterns and you’ll have no issue.

As you’re moving to the next areas, you will end up visiting Skrendel Labs. If you face any bugs or errors there with the boss or can’t find your way around, consider checking out our relevant guide.
