Ratchet & Clank: Mrs. Zurkon - boss, how to beat? Ratchet & Clank Guide
Last update: 16 April 2022
On this page of the guide to Ratchet & Clank, you will find a description of the fight against the third boss in the game - Mrs. Zurkon.
The encounter with Mrs. Zurkon is quite peculiar, as it is divided into two phases. During the first one the boss will attack using easy-to-dodge projectiles, as well as by summoning additional copies of Mr. Zurkon. This is why it's worth to use your own Mr. Zurkon here - he will get rid of smaller targets while you will be able to concentrate on the boss.
The second phase starts when the boss loses a portion of her health. Mrs. Zurkon will activate a shield resembling a honeycomb, which will block your attacks and be used to deliver her own, a lot more difficult to dodge ones. You must destroy the shield to get back to "phase one". The easiest method to achieve it is by using the Pixelizer, especially if you upgraded this weapon. If you approach the boss and attack from a sufficiently close distance, a single shot from this weapon will be enough to shatter the whole shield. You can use other weapons as well, but it will destroy the shield piece by piece, whereas the Pixelizer allows you to blast whole of it.
The enemy is quite resistant to attacks, which is why you will probably run out of ammo to your favorite weapons. However, there are numerous chests scattered around the arena, allowing you to easily replenish your supplies during the encounter. Fly around the boss to prevent Mrs. Zurkon from hitting you with one of her attacks and the encounter should quickly be over.
