Bosses are powerful enemies found at the end of missions as a challenge for the player to defeat. They have high health and powerful attacks, making them much more difficult to defeat than normal enemies.

Bosses must be defeated in order to progress into the game's storyline and unlock the next mission. Defeating each boss awards the player with a quest completion, sometimes with rewards (e.g. defeating Dreadwing awards the processor).

Main Article: Erchius Horror[]

Erchius Horror is found in the Erchius Mining Facility mission. It spreads damaging beams of energy around it, two at first, opposite each other, they spin in a circle. Then four after it's been shot once, they move in a circle, but alternate between left and right. It also has 6 beams after you hit it the 3rd time, in a waving-up-down motion. It also spawns a Moontant after each beam phase.

Being struck with the Mining Laser will cause the crystal to crack and shards will fall to the ground. After three shots the boss will be defeated, allowing players to complete the mission.

despite being the first boss, it has the most hp of any boss. This is offset by the fact that you never deal any direct damage to it; you only attack it through the laser.
