Anachronox Hints
How do I defeat Rictus?
1 of 7: There are really only a couple of things worth noting about this boss.
2 of 7: First and foremost, your MysTech isn't effective against him or his robot minions.
3 of 7: Also, at the start of the battle, you won't be able to use any melee combat moves.
4 of 7: Instead, you should have any character without ranged weapons try to use something like bindlebags or blastsacks.
5 of 7: After you do about 25,000 hit points of damage, you should bring Rictus down.
6 of 7: Well, looks like he didn't quite die after all. I guess that means there was a third thing to note about Rictus.
7 of 7: But in case you're wondering, you are supposed to get thrown into the brig. Don't worry if you think you did the wrong thing.
