Bosses

Bosses are powerful enemies in Galactic Glitch that guard key progression points. Defeating bosses grants Boss Orbs which are required to advance through New Game Plus 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 - Stronger enemies that appear in regular levels

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

Big Bosses

Boss	Image	Location	NG+ Req	Description
Behemoth		Prologue	NG0	Ancient war machine. First boss encounter. Teaches basic boss mechanics.
Sphere		Mid-game	NG0	Enigmatic guardian also called "Heart of the Singularity". Energy-based attacks.
Cerberus		Mid-game	NG0	Three-headed construct. Each head has unique attacks and must be killed separately.
Siren		Story Boss	NG0	The AI antagonist in her combat form. Final story boss.
Aegis		Late-game	NG+1	Heavily shielded defensive boss. Requires mastery of game mechanics.

Boss Progression

Bosses are typically encountered in this order:

1. Behemoth - Prologue/Tutorial completion
2. Sphere - After reaching mid-game areas
3. Cerberus - Deep simulation layers
4. Siren - Story climax (requires 3 Boss Orbs)
5. Aegis - New Game Plus content

NG+ Bosses

In higher New Game Plus levels, additional bosses and Glitched variants of existing bosses appear:

NG+ Level	New Content
NG+1	Aegis unlocked
NG+2	Glitched Behemoth variant
NG+3	Glitched Sphere variant
NG+4+	Additional Glitched bosses, increased difficulty

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
Glass Cannon	Massive damage boost for quick kills
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

Recommended Weapons

• Railgun - High single-shot damage for vulnerability windows
• Minigun - Sustained DPS for bosses with long exposed phases
• Shotgun - High burst damage at close range

Boss Orbs

Each Big Boss drops a Boss Orb on first defeat:

Boss	Orb	Unlocks
Behemoth	BO1	NG+1 access (with 3 total orbs)
Sphere	BO2	Additional areas
Cerberus	BO3	Siren confrontation
Aegis	BO4+	Higher NG+ content

Collecting 3 Boss Orbs triggers the story event with Siren and eventually unlocks New Game Plus.

Mini-Bosses

Mini-bosses are elite enemies that appear in regular levels. They include:

• Elite Drones - Upgraded versions of standard enemies
• Wild Prototypes - Enemy versions of player Prototypes
• Corrupted Guardians - Simulation defense units

Mini-bosses don't drop Boss Orbs but often drop valuable loot like weapon blueprints or rare Powers.
