For the seventh chapter in Orbitals, we find ourselves in a rather short but sweet adventure that finishes up the Frozen section of the story, specifically taking down the Drone Carrier we saw in an earlier mission.
This is meant to be one of the very few boss battles in all of Orbitals, with the other being on the final mission. Both players will have very specific roles depending on where they are sitting, but the main objective is to take down this oversized ship and retrieve the Reactor Cassette.
The start of this mission is rather majestic as we get some good shots of celestial beings that really remind us of Ghibli films. The first thing you will need to do is gain access to the boss arena. To do this, the driver will shoot a Thunder Missile at the exposed wiring, and then the gunner will Push one of the floating mines into the newly opened entrance. There will be ice blocking the way, so that’s what the mine is for.
For the first part of the fight, you will be dodging the barrage of missiles sent at you, while the gunner shoots them down. You will eventually see mines floating around the arena. This is the first means of damaging the Drone Carrier. Have the gunner use their Push ability to send it flying at the Drone Carrier. It’s pretty forgiving where this is aimed, but try to send it in the general direction of the boss.
At around 66–70% health, essentially hitting it three times with a mine, the screen will go white, and you’ll start the second portion of the fight. The screen will go to a top-down perspective, allowing you to move on a 2D plane while the gunner shoots. You will need to dodge as many missiles and drones as possible.
Eventually, you’ll get back and the front of the Drone Carrier will break off. This will reveal a giant organic eye that can shoot a giant laser at you. It will need to charge up, though, with four laser sights converging on your ship before it shoots. Be sure to dodge it at the very end to avoid massive damage.
You won’t be able to damage the eye itself, but instead there will be two pods with a green aura around them. Position yourself in front of these pods and wait until the Drone Carrier is ready to shoot. At the last second, dodge out of the way and the beam will hit the pod, sending an explosive shock to the boss. Do this both times. Going in between both pods, there will be shields that pop-up too. Be sure to shoot the middle of them to get by.
At around 33% HP remaining, specifically after taking down the two pods, the boss will freeze your ship. While the pilot is dodging even more attacks, the gunner will need to get out of their seat and grab the Beam Cannon.
