Throne II is the final form of the Nuclear Throne.
It appears after you kill the last I.D.P.D. unit in the Campfire area, spawning on the exact same spot as the corpse. Due to this, Throne II can kill you instantly while spawning in.
The game loops back to the Desert area after defeating this boss.
Phases[]
Throne II circles around the area, periodically switching its movement from clockwise to counter clockwise or vice-versa. It deals 10 damage on contact. It has two attack phases.
Orb Phase
- Throne II fires bursts of large green orbs similar to the orbs the Nuclear Throne fires. There are two types of this attack:
- Burst of 3 orbs. Similar to the attack the Throne used during your first encounter, these orbs travel a short distance and in turn split into 8 lines of 4 guardian-like orbs each. Unsplit orbs deal 12 damage on contact and instantly split if they hit your character. Each small orb deals 5 damage. Each additional loop increases the number of orbs by 1 and the number of lines each orb splits into by 1.
- Burst of 5 brighter colored orbs. After traveling a short distance each orb will shoot out a beam composed of closely packed green bullets. Each beam is shot in a random direction. The orbs deal 12 damage on contact. Each bullet deals 2 damage. Each additional loop increases the number of brighter colored orbs by 1.
- Both types of large orbs have a high chance to drop mini ammo/health pickups.
Static Phase
- The Throne will stop moving for a moment and shoot out fast moving lines of smaller green orbs in a star pattern around its center. Each small orb deals 5 damage.
