Anachronox Hints
How do I defeat Detta?
1 of 7: For such a major opponent, Detta really isn't all that hard to defeat. You've seen more complicated bosses than him before.
2 of 7: You start out by fighting the mechanical Detta. Notice the available targets.
3 of 7: You need to knock out both of the legs on his robot. Neither one is particularly difficult -- they only have a few thousand hit points each. The only catch is that your MysTech won't work against him.
4 of 7: Once you've destroyed the robot, Detta will run into the next room, and you get to fight him (almost) head-on.
5 of 7: This time MysTech does work. Just keep hitting him, and as the crates he's hiding behind start to break, he'll keep running.
6 of 7: Once you do enough damage, he'll run out of the room.
7 of 7: You'll finally kill him in a cut-scene that follows the actual combat.
