Bosses

Bosses are powerful enemies in Galactic Glitch that guard key progression points. Defeating bosses grants Boss Orbs which are required to advance through Boss Orb Levels and unlock new content.

Overview

Bosses in Galactic Glitch are divided into two categories:

• Big Bosses - Major encounters with dedicated arenas and multiple phases
• Mini-Bosses (OC) - Stronger enemies that appear in regular levels (marked as "OC" = Overclock)

Each Big Boss drops a Boss Orb on first defeat, which contributes to progression.

Behemoth	Prologue	BO-0	Ancient war machine. First boss encounter that teaches basic boss mechanics. A massive construct from a bygone era.

Combat Tips

General Boss Strategy

• Learn patterns first - Don't go all-out until you understand the attacks
• Vulnerability windows - Most bosses have moments where they take extra damage
• Use the environment - Grav Gun can throw arena debris for extra damage
• Save dodge for emergencies - Don't spam dodge, save it for dangerous attacks

Recommended Powers

Power	Why It's Good
Last Hope	Saves failed attempts, especially useful while learning
Hurricane	Dodge-triggered damage adds up over long fights
Hardened Hull	Reduces chip damage from unavoidable attacks
Dodge Mastery	Extra dodge charge for emergencies

Recommended Weapons

Weapon	Why It's Good
Lightning Railgun	High single-shot damage for vulnerability windows
Stabilized Quantum Beam	Sustained DPS for long exposed phases
Phasic Shotgun	High burst damage at close range

Boss Orbs

Each Big Boss drops a Boss Orb on first defeat:

Boss	Orb	Unlocks
Behemoth	#1	Progress towards Siren
Sphere	#2	Additional areas
Cerberus	#3	Siren confrontation
Aegis	#4+	Higher BO content

Important: Collecting 3 Boss Orbs triggers the story event with Siren and eventually unlocks BO-1!
