Now that Titanic Scion is out, it turns out the game has a secret boss hidden at the top of a tower, but how you get there is a little different.
There are lots of bosses in the game, from the Neun you face in the story to the various Colossus types you also faced in the first Daemon X Machina.
However, there is another Arsenal top boss at the top of the Uranus tower in the Forest region that requires a special route to get to it.
Specifically, you take a certain door at the top right corner of the Forest area and then end up outside a platform on an orbital elevator.
Except that this boss, the All-Seeing One, is at the top of the elevator, and you have to manually fly up to face it.
That means you can spend between 4 and 8 hours just flying upward. Not game hours, real human hours.
Thankfully, as I am playing on the Switch 2, you can do it in chunks and put the game on standby, and my “route” only took a few hours, as my Arsenal build is very agile.
Once you face the boss, it can be quite tricky, similar to Eclipse (another Colossus also from the first game), this boss can duplicate decoys and uses all the Neun powers quite excessively.
The parts and weapons this boss drops aren’t great, but it’s definitely a fun boss fight (shown below) and somewhat insane that someone thought it would be a good idea to make it take 8 hours to reach.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is available on Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Feel free to also check out my review of the game.
