“ The Cold-Blooded Bandit
Shiver 		”
— Intro to Shiver's boss fight.

The Pursuit of the Precious is the third boss mission in Return of the Mammalians.

Boss appearance

The boss is Shiver, who rides on her megalodon, Master Mega, a large shark with a saddle and rocket boosters.

Walkthrough

Note: Due to the level having no fee, you may retry from checkpoints as many times as you want, even if you lose all your lives.

First Phase

Shiver and Master Mega will circle the water surrounding the central platform, occasionally leaping out to fire vertical slashes of ink similar to those of a charged Splatana or charging straight at the player, the previous breaking armor on contact and the latter similar to the Reefslider. While they can be attacked in this state, their constant movement makes them difficult targets. Instead, the player should wait for them to try and attack from below and place a bomb (or Smallfry) in the spot they will strike as if fighting a Maws; throwing a bomb into Master Mega's open mouth the moment before he charges is also effective.

Should Master Mega swallow a bomb or Smallfry, he will fly onto the platform and leave itself open as it slowly crawls back to the water. After taking enough damage, Shiver will fall off Master Mega and can be splatted to begin the next phase.

Second Phase

Shiver and Master Mega will now create ink tornadoes, leaping from one tornado to another to confuse the player before firing a beam of ink straight forward. Master Mega leaves its mouth open for a moment after performing this attack, and throwing a bomb (or Smallfry) into its mouth will knock it onto the platform. After dismounting Shiver and splatting her a second time, the third phase will begin.

Third Phase

The beam attack now fires three beams, one after the other. Additionally, Master Mega will crawl faster, reducing the amount of time it can be damaged while it is stranded on the platform. Splatting Shiver once more will end the battle.
