How to Beat Plyusch in Atomic Heart
Plyusch is hyped only because of his speed. Besides that, he is just another boss that players will encounter inAtomic Heart. An important tip to match his speed is to do themorning exercise.
Stack up Health Capsules
Before the fight with Plyusch begins, it would be better to collect at least 8-10 Adrenaline Neuromed Capsules beforehand. These capsules will restore players’ health as they receive damage during the fight.
Use Polymeric Shield
The Polymeric Shield is a crucial battle item inAtomic Heartas it can not only neutralize the attack from Plyusch but also redirect the same attack toward the enemy.
Dodge His Attacks
It can be quite scary to fight Plyusch face to face, but players can successfully dodge his attacks if timed properly. Evade the normal swipes by just getting backward, and dodge sideways for the lunge attacks as they go straight in line.
When the bio robot makes the Slingshot move, an orange circle appears. Dodging to either side of the circle can prevent a whole lot of damage resulting from the Slingshot strike. In order to make dodging effective, use Second Wind and Sleazebag abilities.
Use the Melee Weapons
There are differentmelee weapons that can come in handyin close-range fights. Pashtet is known for its speed, while the Magnetic Field Generator can give potential damage to the enemy. Just pick any melee weapon and add the Fire Cartridge to it. This combination can bring him down if attacked repeatedly.
Plyusch can knock the players off balance and lift them into the air multiple times in the fight. When he does this, players must hit the right button prompts, or he will kill them on the spot.
Keep Attacking
Keep striking the enemywith a melee weaponand keep dodging frequently to kill him. After beating him,search his corpse for Claire’s left arm. Defeating Plyusch rewards players with the ‘Plukh’ achievement and a few other exciting rewards.
