How to Beat Smart Cleaner

Fight while hovering

Staying on the ground makes you vulnerable to the boss’ attacks.

Therefore, being in the air is safer, and with tetrapod legs equipped, you can stay and hover in the air for a longer period of time.

Do not stay on the ground for too long

Smart Cleaner has high attack power and hits consecutively, so even if you have around 10,000 AP, you can still get killed easily.

Fighting on the ground makes it harder to evade the boss’ attacks. Therefore, the safest way to approach this boss fight is to take advantage of tetrapod legs’ capability to stay in the air.

Attack Smart Cleaner’s weak spot

Smart Cleaner’s weak spot is located inside its furnace-like head, which also houses the magma that the boss uses to attack.

Aim for that weak spot and attack it using a bazooka or a cannon.

Inflict damage as much as you when the boss is staggered

Hitting Smart Cleaner’s weak spot will eventually leave the boss staggered.

If you managed to put the boss in this state, aim at the weak spot and deal as much damage as possible.
