Tyke

Quick strategy

Clear summoned enemies for ammunition, avoid marked explosions and portal lasers, reflect the large purple shot with the backpack to bring Tyke down, and treat safe movement between platforms as the priority in later phases.

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

• Flying passes that leave explosions
• Nine marked ground blasts
• Explosive projectile and shockwave
• Laser telegraphed between portals
• Purple shot reflected with the backpack
• Four-platform and nine-platform arena changes

Phase-by-phase plan

• Opening: kill the two summoned enemies for ammunition and use ranged damage while Tyke stays airborne.
• Vulnerability: return the large purple shot with the backpack to knock Tyke into the center.
• Four-platform phase: rally the purple shot back and forth while managing the gaps.
• Nine-platform phase: move to the shot's landing platform before the other marked platforms disappear.

Reported rewards

• Two loot chests
• Broken Rocket crafting material
• Reported completion of Police Jurisdiction
