Act 2 - Chapter 2 - The Mohole - BOSS | Act 2 - Chapter 2 Bionic Commando Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Hidden bonuses: 3

Level walkthrough: Just as before, the game will allow you to collect all three bonus objects before you're attacked by a new boss. Start off by moving forward and then head right. Be on a look out for the first bonus item which is going to be hidden by one of the boulders. Proceed towards the abyss and eliminate enemy soldiers from a large distance.

Head on to your left and make a jump towards a destroyed section of the freeway. Check the area under the bridge to find the second bonus item. Once this is done get on top of the bridge and proceed to the designated area. Perform a perfect swing to catch the third bonus item.

Attach yourself to a metal beam and swing a few times to land near the parking lot seen in the distance. Once you're there you'll be rewarded with a new cut-scene, informing you that it's time to defeat a new boss. You'll be going against Mohole and the machine looks like a large worm.

This bossfight has two main phases. The first phase is by far easier and your task will be to drain boss of its energy by about a half. Let's start off by saying a few things about the attacks you'll have to avoid during this phase. Mohole will mostly use his laser eye to set nearby objects on fire. Remember to keep moving back from the area that's being attacked by the boss. The second type of Mohole's attacks may remind you a movie called Tremors. Mohole will be moving underground, trying to hit Spencer. Thankfully this attack can be avoided easily by pressing a dodge button or jumping to the side.

You can attack the boss only when it's powering up its laser, getting ready to attack you. There are two ways to do that. You can throw parked cars at the boss or you can use one of your weapons. If you decide to rely on firearms, make sure to use a grenade launcher which you may have brought from the previous mission. Otherwise you would have to visit one of the pods.

Keep fighting until Mohole has lost half of its energy. Notice that the boss has collapsed and this is your chance to make a move. Otherwise Mohole will be able to heal, extending this fight. Approach the laser eye quickly, aim at it and attach your bionic arm by pressing and holding the left trigger.

Notice that Spencer has been catapulted into the air. Don't release the trigger and don't touch the left analog, because you'll want everything to stay the same. Instead start pressing the Y button, so the main character will initiate Death from Above attack, preventing Mohole from regenerating. If you've done everything according to the plan Mohole will remain with only half of the energy bar and you'll advance to phase two.

The biggest problem of this phase is that you'll have to avoid a very unpleasant attack and if you fail you'll have to start over again. You can notice this attack when Mohole is sending a beam to the sky. There's only one way to avoid his shockwave attack - you must press the jump key whenever one of the waves is close to Spencer. You can't be too late, because even a single wave can kill you. At first you'll be dealing with only one wave, but later on you'll have to avoid sequences of even five waves. Good luck! ;-)

Be patient and wait for the boss to make preparations for a laser eye attack. Start firing at Mohole using some of the best weapons you've got. Sadly as the battle progresses you'll have to spend more time avoiding his shockwave attacks than actually inflicting injuries. It 's a good thing to work on your rhythm, so you won't have to restart this whole fight too many times.

The final phase of this duel is very similar to what you've already experienced. Wait for Mohole to collapse, approach the boss quickly and attach yourself to its eye. Perform Death from Above attack when you're in the air and wait for Mohole to explode. You can now rearm yourself (pods) after which proceed towards a red gate.
