when not teasing video games, high on life It’s often an easy and fun first-person shooter with bright colors, a great soundtrack, and fun gun mechanics.If you can enjoy it even a little ratchet and crank Also Resistance: Fall of Man If you haven’t checked out this game, you’ll have to try it for yourself, especially if you have Xbox Game Pass. , which can be a bit tricky.
The first round of combat with Nipron is pretty straightforward, but the next phase involves a trippy sequence with rotating environments, blurry visuals, and a bunch of distracting fake Niprons. I like to mess with the head of the characters in… for the mantis enemy in the game, Random Video Game References and Other Meta Stupidity, on the brand. At least he didn’t read his card in our memory or call us.
In that respect, the Battle of Nipron had a handful of metal gear solid Hard-to-hear reference under gunshots. Turn on subtitles so you don’t miss them.

Nipron can be a really frustrating foe. Especially if you’re obsessed and playing what you’re obsessed with. This guide will help you break the illusion. That way, you can splatter a globshot on this nasty spot on the boss and then knife the son of a bitch into a puddle of luscious bug blood.
Niprom boss structure
The Battle of Nipron goes through various stages. Here is the overall structure:
Fight phase 1: Fight Nipron in his office.
Hallucination Intermission 1: Chat with Jean.
Fight phase 2: Fight multiple niprons (if you damage the blue nipron, proceed to the next intermission).
Hallucination Intermission 2: Chat with the character’s sister.
Fight phase 3: Fight multiple niprons again (if you damage the blue nipron, you will move to the next intermission).
Hallucination Intermission 3: Gather and chat with Gatrian Gun companions.
Fight phase 4: Go down the corridor and have Nipron and his copy fight 4 Gatrian at once.
How to beat Nipulon: Fight Phase 1 (and cycle Gatlians for constant damage output)
Before shooting Nipron, make a beeline to the left, Grab the Lugrox chest in his office (If you missed it, you have a chance to get this one at the end). The wall-mounted TV here also has a hint of Dr. Gurglabut this might be easier to grab once the fight is over.
Nipron, like other bosses in the game, goes through different stages as he lowers his health. Given that this is late in the game, unless you’re playing on the highest “Hunter” difficulty (which itself isn’t all that difficult beyond the other levels, especially if you’ve played a lot of FPS games) no), the first phase is less of an issue. Pick a tactic you enjoy.
You end up fighting Nipulon in his office (again, after talking to all the fucking Helen), so Melee weapons like Gus (shotgun) are very usefulNipulon is somewhat immune to attacks like Kenny’s globshot (you can’t juggle him), but can use other trick holeshots like Gus’ disk and Sweezy’s time bubble.But Ideally, you want to change guns frequently.
high on life‘s gun will reload even if it is not equipped, so Cycling guns instead of reloading is a reliable pattern If you don’t have a specific gun or two, you’re stuck.
I recommend starting with Sweezy and cycling through Gus to be the last gun. Pay attention to the saucer prompts, they are easy to miss!). By the time you hit the disc a few times, you’ll be ready to go back to Sweezy. Sweezy’s trick hole should have been reset or very close by then. The pattern looks like this:
- Shoot with Sweezy’s Trick Hole Shot to empty the magazine into the enemy.
- Switch to a creature, fire a trick hole shot, and empty the magazine.
- Switch to Kenny, fire the Trick Hole, and empty the magazine.
- Switch to gas, fire a trick hole (melee the disc several times to keep it active), and empty the magazine.
- Switch to Sweezy and do all this again.
Based on when each gun’s trick hole was recharged, the pattern could start with a bullet from the magazine and shot as the trick hole was closer before switching guns. (correctly), small patterns like this can help you stay focused.When This works well throughout the game, not just the Nipron fight.
Nipron’s Strategy: Hallucination Interlude 1, 2, 3
Each phase following the office brawl begins with a slightly hallucinatory interlude where you get caught in a loop of objects from other scenes in the game. This happens a total of 3 times during combat.
In these interludes, after chatting with the NPC, you must jump into the black hole that appears in the center of the area to resume your fight with Nipron. In the first scene, I am chatting with Gene. The second is a conversation with the character’s sister.
In the third and final, you chat with all of Gatrian Gun’s friends, but you’ll have to navigate the zoom environment to find each one. You can hear each voice, so grab each one according to the voice. As you approach, you’ll see a circular her HUD prompt showing interactable objects.
- The creature is on the operating table.
- Kenny is at the table in Space Appleby.
- Gus is on the debris in front of the big drill.
- Sweezy is on a table on the left side of the truck.
The first two resting interaction options here do not have particularly different results.So choose what feels natural.
The looping, scalable objects in this environment can be a little tricky to navigate. After chatting with the NPCs in each instance, watch out for large pillars of light and black holes..
How to beat Nipron’s Copy: Fighting Phases 2 and 3
Once you’ve survived a hallucinatory episode where friends and family say you’re a grossly selfish person doomed to failure (totally unfamiliar), you engage with Nipron in the most annoying way possible. He has multiple versions of himself dancing in a swarming mess of trippy colors.
Do not force your way through this. trust me. Your first instinct might be to shoot through all the copies like an erasure process until you get to the real copy. I am here to tell you that it doesn’t work. Instead, Need to focus on finding the right Nipron.
Luckily, this isn’t too difficult. All clones of Nipulon have a predominant green pattern on their armor and exoskeleton (he’s a bug, no skin!).you want to Beware of Nipron with his blue armor, purple gloves, and tan exoskeletonIt’s our man. Kill him, bounty hunter.
Unlike the first showdown in the office, Stick with Kenny or Sweezy to shoot Nipron hereBoth primary attacks are very accurate and focused, and Sweezy will fire a focused sniper shot if you keep your sights on. As the closest approximation to the in-game designated marksman rifle, Kenny and Sweezy’s accuracy makes this process a lot easier.Gus’ shotgun might help here, but his blast 3 I found the number of magazines to be a little too restrictive.
In the second phase of the battle, multiple of these Nipulon are swarming around you. Movement is not very important here. Aim the correct blue armored Nipron to reduce his health Additionally, it triggers the next hallucinatory interlude.
In Nipron’s third stage, he and his copy come together to form a ball that fires lasers in all directions. As in the second stage, you are floating in a colorless hallucinatory space, so body movements are a bit tricky,o Do your best to avoid the bright green lasers when aiming at the blue armored Nipron.Don’t get too distracted by taking copiesbut clearing some may make it easier to hit the actual Nipron (especially during the third phase).
Nipron’s capture method: the fourth (final) stage
There aren’t many tricks in the final stage of Nipron’s fight. After a little chat with the Gatlians, you’ll be able to use all four at once. You’ll have to navigate through wacky corridors filled with copies of Nipulon. the real thing is at the endThey can harm you and risk death, but you want to keep moving forward, Spam all guns to clear the Nipulon copy barrier The real blue one awaits until you return to the entrance of his office.
To use the Knifey for the finishing blow, you must move. Remember, after defeating Nipulon, in his office he grabs Luglox’s chest. In the same area (the corner with the bookshelf), You’ll also need to grab a hint of Dr. Gurgla on the wall-mounted screen.
After dealing with Nipulon, proceed to the final boss of the game. Get back to Gene, collect Nipron’s bounty, and get ready to put an end to all this.
