Prepare for the final boss fight in Split Fiction as Rader unleashes his chaotic arsenal. Discover tricks to beat him effectively.
Final Showdown is the ultimate mission in Split Fiction that continues your Chapter 8 battle with Rader as he throws the kitchen sink at you. Rader will summon and use assets from both fantasy and sci-fi settings, utilizing a vast moveset. However, that does not mean the fight has to be difficult. Let’s take a look at some tips and tactics that can help you beat Split Fiction’s final boss.
Rader Boss Fight Guide
When the fight starts, you will be unarmed and can dedicate your focus to dodging attacks. Rader will summon the Parking Attendant and smash the former sci-fi boss on the ground multiple times, creating shockwaves to double jump and dash over. The tip here — and one that is relevant for most of the fight — is to stay near the rear of the platform, as it will give you ample time to anticipate and react to the attacks. Rader will then put on a pair of portal-opening gauntlets and wrench out a hydra head from the middle of the platform.
Dodge the hydra’s attacks by observing the highlighted zones of its projectiles’ impacts. At the same time, split up and make your way to either flank of the stage, where glitch particles will spawn. Collect all of them and return to the rear of the platform, where you will activate a glitch to pull out ranged weapons.
Fighting Rader at Range
While shooting Rader, aim around the torso to get guaranteed hits while also overlapping your cone of fire with any other enemies that he spawns. As you begin to blast away, watch out for any creatures that he pulls out of alternate realities and target them on priority. The first in line are a rabble of ogres who are fast but dispatched easily with a single shot.
Then, Rader will rip the head off the Giant Robot boss and spin it in the center of the platform while activating its lasers. Double jump over the lasers while shooting the robot head and keep moving to avoid the rockets. Next up are the Sandfish, which are sent at you in straight lines and can be avoided with a dash or two.
Rader will then field the Treasure Traitor for a rematch against you. Keep dashing and attacking to avoid its ground attacks, and bring it down before it has time to spawn too many shells. If you find some spiked shells sliding your way, double jump and dash over them to get some breathing room. By now, Rader’s health will likely be critical, and he will launch buzz-saw-wielding mechs toward you. No need to shoot them; dodge out of the way while melting through the last of Rader’s health bar.
In the next segment, you will be diving after Rader as he plummets through multiple virtual realities. As you fall, move upwards to avoid the space station, dodge the debris on the right, position yourself to the upper right or lower left of the screen to avoid the lasers, and align yourself in the center for the final stretch. When Rader tries to manipulate the dimension in a desperate move, button-mash to push back.
Congratulations! You have defeated the final boss and completed Split Fiction.
