How to find and defeat the Core Commander (Final Boss) in Core Keeper

After defeating all the bosses in the main storyline of Core Keeper, players can conclude their adventure by taking on the Core Commander, the final boss of the game. This encounter is undoubtedly the most challenging due to its variety of mechanics. In this guide, we will explain how to defeat him easily.

How to Find and Defeat the Core Commander in Core Keeper

Once you have defeated all the main story bosses, you must return to the Core and interact with it. This will provide you with the exact location of the Core Commander, eliminating the need to explore the map in search of him.

When you arrive at the area, it’s advisable to place a portal nearby, as it is likely that you will die on your first attempts, saving you the long walk back. Additionally, you will notice a significant amount of radiation, but don’t worry; breaking the giant blue stone that hides the boss will remove this effect.

The boss has two phases, with the second being much more intense than the first due to the speed of his attacks. You need to focus on the three cores surrounding him and break them consistently; doing so will cause him to fall to the ground, allowing you to hit him and reduce his health. His attacks include a mix of mechanics from other bosses you may have faced, such as electric orbs, chasing triangles, and cross-pattern lightning strikes. The most powerful attack creates a completely dark screen with three gaps where you must position yourself to avoid damage.

Regarding equipment, it is best to bring the legendary set, both in armor and weapons. However, if you find it tedious to gather all the pieces, you can equip other gear that offers sufficient protection and buffs against bosses. Remember to consume potions and food that provide effects like strength, resilience, or attack boosts.

Rewards from the Core Commander After Defeating Him

The rewards from this boss can vary significantly, as the only guaranteed reward is the chest he drops. You can receive interesting items, such as his armor set, a vacuum pistol, and other rewards, including an equipable item or upgrade gems among other things.
