The opening areas introduce core mechanics while ramping up difficulty. Focus on dodging patterns and exploiting openings.

  • Dodge the spinning arms by jumping over them.
  • Strike the exposed head when it lowers.
  • In the airborne phase, run under the boss during jumps to avoid damage.

Repeat hits until it transitions. Use Avatar skills for multi-hits if available.

Speed Jungle Encounters

Speed Jungle Act 1 pits you against a robotic insect. It extends a conveyor tongue.

  • Evade the tongue and use it as a platform to leap and strike the underbelly.
  • Destroy launched minions with spin dashes.

Act 2 features Eggman in a new contraption. Target weak points amid projectile barrages.

Fang the Hunter Confrontations

Fang appears in multiple zones with laser and rocket assaults.

  • Dodge lasers post-obstacle courses.
