Sphere (also called the Guardian or Heart of the Singularity) is a mid-game boss in Galactic Glitch. This enigmatic spherical entity guards the deeper layers of the simulation.

Overview

The Sphere is a mysterious, orb-like boss that floats in the center of its arena. Unlike the physical Behemoth, the Sphere attacks primarily with energy-based projectiles and spatial manipulation. It represents the simulation's more abstract defenses.

Combat

Attack Patterns

Attack	Description	How to Avoid
Orbital Lasers	Spawns rotating laser beams around itself	Move in sync with rotation or stay at specific safe distances
Energy Burst	Releases expanding rings of energy	Pass through gaps in the rings or time your dodge
Gravity Well	Creates pull zones that drag the player	Boost away from the center, use momentum
Shard Storm	Launches multiple tracking projectiles	Destroy with weapons or use cover
Pulse Wave	Arena-wide damage pulse	Cannot be dodged - must break shield generators first

Phases

Phase 1 (100% - 66% HP):

• Orbital Lasers and Energy Burst only
• Predictable patterns
• Core is frequently exposed

Phase 2 (66% - 33% HP):

• Adds Gravity Well
• Spawns shield generators around arena
• Must destroy generators to damage core

Phase 3 (33% - 0% HP):

• Shard Storm becomes primary attack
• Pulse Wave requires destroying all generators quickly
• Extremely aggressive

Weak Points

The Sphere's core is its weak point, but it's protected:

• Phase 1: Core exposed during attack cooldowns
• Phase 2-3: Must destroy Shield Generators (4 small orbs) to expose core
• Core glows bright when vulnerable

Strategy

Recommended Loadout

• Weapons with good projectile speed: Railgun, Quickshot
• Area damage powers for shield generators: Hurricane, Shockingly Close
• Movement powers to escape Gravity Wells

Tips

• Learn the Orbital Laser rotation pattern - there are always safe spots
• Prioritize Shield Generators in Phases 2-3
• The Gravity Well can be used to your advantage - it also pulls enemy projectiles
• Save high-damage abilities for when the core is exposed
• Energy Burst rings have consistent gaps - don't panic

Lore

The Sphere is described as the "Heart of the Singularity" - a core component of the simulation's infrastructure. Siren suggests it's not merely a guardian, but part of what keeps the simulation stable. Destroying it weakens the barriers between layers.

Trivia

• The Sphere's design is inspired by cosmic phenomena like neutron stars
• It's one of the few bosses that doesn't move from its central position
• Some players call it "The Eye" due to its appearance
