Quick strategy

Roll through the rotating lasers, use the shockwave charge as an attack window, reflect thrown explosives with the backpack to break the shield, and clear security bots before the combined final phase.

These fight notes come from a cited Early Access community walkthrough. The official Steam achievement confirms the boss and defeat objective, but timings, balance, and rewards should be rechecked after a game update.

Key mechanics to recognize

  • Four rotating laser beams
  • Charged shockwave sequences
  • Shield broken by reflected explosive objects
  • Security-bot add phase
  • Combined lasers in the final phase

Phase-by-phase plan

  • Opening: learn laser rotation and attack during the shockwave charge.
  • Shield: catch or strike the thrown explosive with the backpack and return it to the Curator.
  • Adds: clear the security bots while the boss is passive.
  • Final: track lasers from the main body and separated part at the same time.

What is confirmed and what is reported

Steam officially names Curator in the Forced Shutdown achievement and gives the objective “Defeat the Curator.”

The The Gallery placement, attack sequence, phase plan are community-reported. Use the linked walkthrough as the evidence and allow for version changes.
