RoboBrood
How to Beat All Darkside Bosses in Super Mario Odyssey
As you prepare to head up to face the fifth boss, you’ll want to make sure you have all three of your lives in tact. As you climb the tower a heart will be waiting for you. If you snag this heart and then head back down the tower and enter the door again before coming back out and running back up, the heart will respawn. You’ll want to go into this battle with a full health bar because RoboBrood will require a ton of patience and provide little room for error.
In the beginning of the fight you’ll want to use Cappy to capture one of the Hammer Bros. Run towards your giant mechanical foe and start tossing hammers at its legs. Just make sure you’re also steering clear of the bombs falling after each hit. If you deal enough damage, you’ll see the leg crack. At this point you can now focus your hammer throwing on the other leg. Keep hurling hammers at the other leg even after it cracks and eventually you’ll see RoboBrood fall over. Throw everything you’ve got at the leg up top until it finally breaks away completely. You can leave your Hammer Bros days behind you for a short while because you will need Mario’s backflip jump to climb to the top of RoboBrood and then jump on the clear dome protecting one of the Broodals.
The second wave of attacks will be very similar to the first except for the fact that RoboBrood will take a few steps before throwing more bombs out. As you probably guessed, you need to keep your distance here. You’ll need to alternate between moving in and out, avoiding RoboBrood while it’s in motion and then rushing back in to attack when it comes to a stop. Eventually the robot will tumble again and you’ll repeat the same process from before.
Once you pull this off a second time, the dynamics of battle change up a bit and you’ll certainly need to pack your patience for it. Rush to the edge of the arena and get ready to keep rolling along the edge. Just keep rolling until you notice the robot’s legs have stopped flashing and RoboBrood returns to the center of the stage. You’ll need to capture another Hammer Bro now and bounce around the edge of the arena. At this point you’ll notice snakes coming after you but once they hit the end of the arena they will disappear. As they start to clear out, carefully navigate your way back towards RoboBrood to get some more hits in. Keep doing this until RoboBrood finally takes a new stance. At this point, focus all your attacks on the leg you haven’t broken completely off yet. Once the armor is taken away, jump to the top and bounce on the next clear dome.
You’re almost there now. You’ll just have to repeat this process one more time to attack the final dome and you will have officially defeated RoboBrood!
