This guide will help you in solving the more tricky puzzles, finding all the power-ups for Duke and unlocking every achievement. Duke Nukem Forever is a linear game, but full of surprises which I hope I can help you to discover. In the guide you can find a richly illustrated walkthrough and movies covering the more difficult fights and complicated achievements. This guide also only covers the single player campaign, so you won't find any hints on the multiplayer mode.

Before we move on to the main part, I have a few hints which you can find useful at any moment of the game. Some of them are more obvious and some less - depending on your experience with this kind of games.
Complete the game on the "Let's Rock" difficulty setting (normal) to unlock the "EXTRA GAME SETTINGS" option, which will allow you to alter the game, making it harder or easier. If you intend to complete the game once again on a higher difficulty setting, be sure to find all the Ego boosts. Always be on the look for additional ammo. You can only have two weapons at once, so you definitely don't want to end up without ammo for them. Look for secret points not described in this guide (as they're not obligatory for completing the game), which can be very helpful. While using turrets, the booster or even elevator brakes, keep a look at the meter at the bottom of the screen and don't let it overheat. In case of guns ant turrets, you can mash the button instead of keeping it pressed down. Duke Nukem Forever features a regenerating Ego (health) bar, so don't hesitate to back out if you are badly hurt and recover. You can have pipe bombs and trip mines with you at all times. If a big fight is coming and you still have some time, you can mine the area. Also remember that you can throw various objects at the enemies (barrels, weights, statuettes etc.). Hitting an enemy with such an item pretty much always ends with his death. Keep an eye for any narrow places, as usually they mean trouble.
The list below contains hints which appear on the loading screen.
You will begin the adventure with a lovely scene of urinating inside the toilet of a sports team. Take a look behind the toilets to unlock your first hardcore-only achievement. Approach the unflushed toilet and take out the "bronze figure". Yes, with bare hands, Duke is tough. Congratulations, you have unlocked Turd Burglar ;)
After going out of the toiler you will have a chance to unlock yet another achievement. In the middle of the room there are "debating" EDF forces and a whiteboard, on which you can write by interacting with it. Draw something and you will unlock Drawrings.
Now you just need to get out of the room and follow the EDF. Nothing can happen to you during this section. Head to the elevator to get your first weapon - the Devastator.
Pick it up and you will ride up the elevator to the football stadium, where a giant Cycloid awaits you. Fighting it isn't really difficult, as there's a lot of free space around which makes keeping the boss at distance easy. Additionally the Devastator is a very powerful weapon. However before you focus on the Cycloid, shoot down the blimp with a beet commercial over the stadium for Sunday, Black Sunday.
The Devastator eats ammo rather fast, but luckily the EDF will make sure you don't run out completely. An EDF airship will fly over the stadium from time to time, throwing supplies marked with a red flare. After you take care of the Cycloid, you will be moved to Duke's apartment.
Start off by heading to the toilet, which can be found right behind the door opposite to where you were sitting.
Approach the mirror and interact with it to receive an ego boost - which simply corresponds with more health. Enter the toilet in the neighbouring room and use the bowl for another Ego boost. Inside the same room you will find the first element needed for unlocking Call Waiting - the phone on the wall. Interact with it to listen to the message.
From the bathroom head to the living room where you will find a pool table. Pot all the balls into the pockets (of course apart from the white) to get another Ego boost. Playing pool might be tricky, as you're not using any cue stick and the "Hit Ball" hint doesn't always show. However if you're touching the table, just aim at the white ball and use the button responsible for interaction - even if the ball is on the opposite side.
That's pretty much everything you can do in this level, so follow the corridor behind the mahogany door into the elevator.
Go out of the elevator, go through the main door and right behind the corner you will see snack and drink machines. It's a chance to unlock the Noms achievement. Just eat 10 snacks.
Go down the corridor and on the left you will see a door with "Employee Lounge" plate. Go inside and on one of the shelves you will find a microwave and popcorn lying beside. Prepare the popcorn in the microwave for another Ego boost.
Time to head onto the scene. Right beside the entrance you will come across a little fan, who will ask you for an autograph. Draw something in his book to get another Ego boost.
After going out of the studio you will see (and hear) one of the would-be stars of the show taking it out on an employee. Approach him and treat with a right hook to unlock Nobody Likes a Whiner.
Go further along the corridor to see an open toilet. Use the urinal for an Ego boost.
Go out of the toilet and into the elevator which will eventually stop on the 68th floor. To the left of the door there's a button which will open a hatch in the ceiling and pull down a ladder.
Go up and you will reach the "throne room" inside Duke's museum. Before you can use the throne yourself, you will need to take a photo of your fan with the nearby panel. Sit down once he leaves.
After a long briefing inside your command centre, exit through the door behind the throne/elevator. The real action will begin, as the aliens have overrun your "cave".
This stage is perfect for unlocking a few achievements. You will start off by having the chance of killing an alien by throwing a statuette at him. Kill 10 aliens this way to unlock Tosser... in the Literal Sense. The first room you will arrive to is Duke's gym. This place is a real Ego mine.
In order to receive all Ego boosts here, you have to: throw the ball into the basket, curl a dumbbell, lift the barbell (firstly putting on the four weights found in the area or you won't receive the boost), hit the punching bag and punchball and beat the highscore at pinball (over 280 thousand).
You can also unlock Balls of Steel by scoring over 1.000.000 points at pinball.
Once you're done raising your Ego, pull out the vent and go inside. Soon after you get out of it, all the light in the building will go out. In accordance with the hint, turn on Duke Vision. There will be lots of aliens in the area and you don't yet have any weapon, but don't worry - you will find lots of items that can be thrown at them. You can also always leave it to your fists, easily defeating all blindly walking enemies.
On your way you will also find beer cans lying on the floor. Pick up one, but don't use it yet. Inside one of the rooms you will find another vent, follow it to the generator. Beside it there are two cells which you need to insert.
Do it and the door leading to the third cell will open. It turns out to be inside a locker room, behind glass. Luckily you have a remote control car at your disposal. Use it to pull the cell to the hole by the door.
Return to the main room and place the last cell in the generator. Turn it on and take the steroids that will come out.
More aliens will soon enter the room. You will have a chance to unlock three achievements at once:
Flagon of Chuckles (drinking a beer), Juiced (taking steroids) and Substance Abuser (both at the same time). Take the steroids, drink the beer and smash some alien heads. It will be also the first step towards yet another achievement - Duke Angry, Duke Smash! (kill 15 aliens while on steroids). You might kill 6-7 aliens that way, finish the others in a conventional way. Eventually two Pigcops will enter the room. Exit following the same way they came and at the end of the corridor you will obtain Duke's unique weapon - the gold Colt M1911.
If you want to unlock Gunslinger, you will have to keep it to the very end of the game which means you will only be able to change one weapon! But don't worry, the pistol is surprisingly effective and headshots are absolutely murderous. Inside the round corridor where you will find yourself you will have the chance to unlock Dead Useful by killing an enemy using a gas cylinder.
Just shoot one of them when an enemy is standing nearby. You can also pick up the cylinders and exploding barrels and throw them at enemies. Having the Colt, start doing headshots and after 30 you will unlock On the Noggin'. Finish the level by taking over the giant gun that the aliens were trying to destroy.
You will have to fight the alien Mothership. A quite unfair fight, as Duke definitely has a bigger gun ;) Right at the beginning you will be able to unlock Natural Disaster 3x. Alien dropships will start flying over the battlefield - once one of them opens the hatch, start shooting inside and you will be easily able to take out three aliens at once. At the same time try to shoot down the dropships as well, to start working on Big Guns, Big Ships (you need to shoot down 5 of them). Keep focusing your fire at the mothership's laser gun and soon fighters will start appearing, in groups of three.
Always shoot the middle one, as it will shoot a laser at you once it gets close enough. Shooting down these ships will get you closer to unlocking Baron von Nukem (shooting down 20 ships).
After defeating the Mothership, Duke will lose consciousness and wake up 4 hours later inside the gun shaft. Use the nearby vent to get out.
After getting out of the vent you will find yourself inside an elevator shaft, which will almost immediately start falling. Pull the brake lever, but keep an eye on the temperature meter and don't let it overheat. Brake in series, so that the brakes have time to cool down.
Once the elevator safely stops, go out and you will be miniaturised. Pull the luggage cart to get out of the rubled room.
Time to take a ride inside the remote control car - just this time as the driver himself. Ramps (in the form of paintings, posters etc.) have been conventionally placed along the track, use boost to fly over the obstacles behind them. The ramps also serve as signposts, directing you along the only proper way, so it's impossible to get lost.
Right after the loading screen you will end up in a room full of aliens with blasters, so it would be good to drive to its end. Once you drive through the gate it will lock up behind you and will be too low to return drive beneath it.
Go out of the car and continue on foot. You have to reach the button which will let you go below the gate. Jump up the luggage onto the nearby roulette table and from it continue onto the other furniture. Between the tables there are chairs, which can be used as springboards.
Once you reach the couch, look out for the rats lurking between the plants behind it. Press the button to raise the gate and go back inside your car. Enemies will be looking for you, so look for ramps and boost often. By driving into the aliens' feet you can stun them for a short while, but it's a risky strategy and it's better to just avoid them. Eventually you will reach a spot where after a heroic jump the car will break down.
On the other side of the grate in front of you there's a device that will return you to your normal size. Pull the luggage cart towards the button to the left of the grate, return to where you crashed the car, go up the ramp onto the sofa and from there to the button. The device is right beside the naughty twins, which you can look under the skirts. Once you're back to normal, break the showcase in front of you and take the shotgun (remember to keep the Colt if you want to earn Gunslinger).
Aliens will start teleporting into the room. Eliminate a few of them and eventually two of them will be able to kidnap your twins and you won't be able to do anything about it.
Time to return the same way you came here and this time eliminate the enemies that were trying to trample you before. Once you reach a dark room with slot machines, more enemies will come through the ceiling. After eliminating them, approach one of the machines and keep playing until you get a Ego boost.
Keep following the road you were driving along moments ago until you reach a room with a car in the display. Between the pillars there's a chest with steroids standing on it. If you want, you can continue working on Duke Angry, Duke Smash!, so hold back with taking them until Pigs join the fight.
After getting rid of all the enemies, go out through the opposite gate.
Go along the corridor to the room in which there's a large mechanical statue of Duke. Use the panel to set the arm so that you can use them to get to the upper floor, where a buddy from EDF is waiting for you.
After setting the arm, use the "Alien Attack" button to lower the building models and use them to get onto the statue. Once you're upstairs, head to the highlighted door and afterwards back into a vent. Exit it to find yourself in a corridor mined by the Pigs.
You can detonated the mines by shooting them or avoid the lasers that block your path. Fires will start breaking out in the corridor, which will block your way. In order to extinguish them, shoot the fire-extinguishers beside them. Be sure not to stand too close, as an exploding extinguisher is no joke. At the end of the corridor you will find the same mines which you had to avoid a moment ago. Now that you have them in your inventory, you can unlock two more achievements. Sticky Bomb Like You! Requires you to place a mine on an enemy, while Trapper can be unlocked by killing 10 enemies with the mines. You will have plenty chances to do that. Behind the door you will have to fights some Pigs and a mini boss.
Restock on ammo using the EDF chest, go inside the room with a gold figure and wait for the Assault Commander to appear. The commander is a fat, flying alien who shoots rockets and additionally is equipped with rotating blades which he might charge with.
The fatty will change your companions into two Pigs, so firstly take care of them and then move on to attacking the mini boss. In normal circumstances explosives would be best, but this time around you only have mines, the shotgun and the pistol. The shotgun is pretty efficient, but you have to stick close which might be dangerous. One method is to set mines around the fountain and make the commander to chase you. If everything goes well, he will bump into the mines and you will have to finish him off with a few shots.
Right after the beginning of the level approach the EDF vehicle where you can change your weapon and restock on ammo. Inside the vehicle there's an armour, very similar to Master Chief's in Halo - approach it and look at the helmet. It's the first of three famous helmets that you need to find in the game to unlock Bucket Head.
After going a bit further down the street you will reach a machine gun nest which you can use to grind hordes of Pigs and assault troopers. However make sure no one approaches you from behind. Move on following the left lane to avoid the fire of the machine gun on the right. Nearby the barricade (in the form of a downed vehicle) which you will reach you will find a small "armoury" below the destroyed bridge, which you can use while you're at it.
After one of your EDF buddies destroys the barricade, follow your new companion. While going down the street, look out for one of the bigger Pigs with a RPG and its sidekicks, who will be throwing red barrels at you. Nearby you will also find a supply chest, including pipe bombs and steroids.
Once you reach more machine gun nests, use one of them to fight off the Pig wave coming your way. Soon afterwards you will find a RPG - I'd strongly recommend taking it, as soon you will have to fight a boss. Go down into the canyon, apparently created as a result of a big explosion, and prepare for fight - the Battlelord is coming (preceded by a few waves of lesser enemies).
During the Battlelord fight you can depend only on your RPG and it stays true with all the other bosses in the game. The launcher can hold up only 5 rockets at once, but it's not a big problem as there are two EDF chests on opposite sides of the battlefield, which will provide you with an unlimited amount of ammunition.
Remember that the RPG has a lock-on system - you just need to keep the cursor on the enemy for a few seconds. Look out for wrecked cars as the enemy can kick them towards you and for blue grenades during the fight. After a dozen or so properly fired rockets, the Battlelord will fall to his knees.
You have to quickly run to him and follow the prompts displayed on the screen. After you finally defeat and humiliate the boss, a passage leading to the next level will open.
Soon after leaving the sewers you will come across two obstacles. The first is a electrified pool. Just wait for the pole to stop sparkling and quickly jump across the pallets.
The second is a fire blocking your way. Fortunately there's some poor fellow with an extinguisher hanging right above it - shoot it down and you will be able to move on.
After a short ladder climbing you will reach the building site. Get inside the container hanging from the crane, thanks to which you will get to the other side of the site.
After a "soft landing" on the other side, you will be able to pick up one of the most powerful weapon in the game - the Railgun. Head to the site, where Pigs will knock down Duke's statue. Deal with them and create yourself a passage by shooting the red barrel below the container.
You will reach a square with a barrack and a gate which cannon be opened. To do it, go inside the barrack using the ladder leading to the roof. Inside, use the copier for another Ego boost. Behind the corner you will find a phone needed to unlock Call Waiting.
Right beside the locked door you will find a button which will start the generator powering the gate.
A horde of Pigs will take over the area, you'll have to eliminate them before being able to move on. Weapons found throughout the barrack will come in handy: a machinegun, shotgun and a RPG (will be useful for the bigger specimens which will appear as well). After putting all the Pigs to sleep, the passage in the fence will open and behind it you will find another RPG.
Now open the main gate and follow the tentacles.
You will reach a square with a few containers, but without any escape route. In order to get out, you need to collect all the blue barrels and throw them into the red container which you will be able to climb to the scaffolding.
In order to gather enough barrels, you will have to detonate red barrels in one of the higher containers.
Cross the scaffolding to the vast square where you will find a crane with a demolition ball. The crane will come in handy in a bit, but first you will need to power up the battery. Go onto the crane arm and get to the other side of the fence.
Inside the room at top of one of the constructions you will find the needed battery and lots of RPGs and ammo crates throughout the whole square.
They are there for a reason, as you're about to fight an alien spaceship. Feed it with a couple kilotons of explosives and go through the fence along the beam that has fallen onto the ammo crate.
Return to the crane, insert the new battery and make use of the demolition ball on the nearby building's wall to create a passage into the alien base.
Welcome to the hive. Go along the downward path to find a machinegun. Go back and follow the only available road leading up.
Eventually you will reach a narrow tunnel. You will see a glowing beetle which will immediately roll up. Roll him out of the tunnel and watch what will happen.
Beside the door (hereinafter "sphincter") there's a tentacle which will catch the bug and open the passage. After going through the second sphincter, stop and look left - you will see a faint light coming from a very small chamber. Use Duke Vision to make it easier.
Go inside the chamber to find another gun, but also another helmet needed for unlocking Bucket Head. This time it's the helmet of Isaac from Dead Space.
Return to the main path. On your way you will find spiked tentacles coming out of the walls. Look left below the "bridge", where you will also see a glowing "eye". In order to go pass the tentacles safely you have to shoot the eye which will temporarily close itself, blinding the tentacles which won't be able to see you sneak by. You can also shoot individual tentacles which of course is less economical. Move on and behind one of the bigger rooms you will come across a tunnel covered with sparkling "puffballs" - you need to shoot them from afar, as they explode if you get near.
Eventually you will reach a corridor inside of which you will find a dead soldier and a shotgun. Pick it up before moving on, as an Octabrain will soon fly into the room and the shotgun is great against it from a short distance. After reaching a bigger room, you will encounter shell-like creatures growing on the walls. If you approach it, the "shell" will open, chaining into a springboard.
Jump onto them to move on and don't worry about falling down - the flight path is predefined. Soon you will reach a room with Duke's favourite twins inside - unfortunately in a rather bad shape. After a while they will both explode, releasing small aliens.
In the same room there's a RPG which you can reach by jumping onto the glowing springboard. Inside the next room, apart from more "chicks" impregnated by aliens, you will also find three... breasts. Interact with them for an Ego boost ;)
Some of the imprisoned women will explode with "young" aliens. Trample them to unlock Hippy-Stomper. Inside the same room you will also find another "toothed" sphincter you have to open using the glowing bug. Move on along the narrow corridor to find one and return with him to the main room (Octabrains will attack you on your way back) and go through the sphincter.
You will come across webbed corpses. Hit them a couple times to get guns, ammo or explosives. From now on keep looking after such cocoons - each can be hit up to 3 times.
After a short walk through the tentacles and exploding puffballs you will return to the main cave (but upper), where you will meet more Octabrains. If you have been searching all the bodies until now, there's a chance you found a Railgun which is great for dealing with octopuses, irrespectively of the distance between you. A few jump between the springboards and a couple puffballs later you will find another "barricaded" sphincter.
This time the bug needed to open it can be found a bit further. Keep going up the corridor, along the edge of the precipice. Once you reach a dead end you will see some explosives, a dead soldier and a shotgun which will definitely come in handy. On the other side of the precipice there's a glowing springboard.
Throw a pipe bomb at it and wait for it to bounce off to the room above, with a glowing bug inside. Detonate the bomb and the bug will roll down, making it possible to roll it to the closed sphincter. Go through it to reach the main cave once again. Jump onto the springboard (but look out for the puffballs above) and go through the next one. You will reach a junction: puffballs on one side and tentacles on the other. Go along the left side after shooting the puffballs to find some supplies.
Eventually you will reach a room with Pregnators - small bugs with huge scrotums hanging from their backs - hatch from cocoons growing out of the floor. If you let them shoot you 10 times, you will earn I Need a Towel.
After a heavy fight in the next room, you will reach a set of stairs which will lead you to the Queen.
To reach the Queen, you have to throw a pipe bomb into the corridor with the "springboard" and detonate it once it bounces off into the corridor behind the door.
Inside the room on the right you will find a RPG and a supply of bombs. Stock on both, as they will be essential.
If for some reason you missed some of the previous Ego boost items, now you will have the chance to catch up with four of them: dumbbell, barbell, punch bag and breasts growing out of the wall.
Duke's club will provide you with some much needed relaxation between killing hordes of aliens and a chance to earn over z dozen (14!) Ego points and a couple achievements as well. In order to complete this stage, you will need to find popcorn, a vibrator and condoms.
The condom vending machine can be found in the nearby men toilet and at a few other spots throughout the club.
The popcorn is lying right next to the microwave, inside the employee room.
There you will also find a vibrator inside one of the closed lockers.
Now it's time for all the various ways of increasing Ego. Some of them have already appeared before, so I will only focus on the new ones. If you missed some of the boosts, you will be able to catch up with 8 of them. Here you can also find a pinball machine, allowing you to unlock Balls of Steel.
Listen to the answering machine beside the entrance, needed for Call Waiting. There will be a few more throughout the club.
Inside the men toilet, go inside the only working cabin and "interact" with the hole drilled in the wall.
Inside the main room, wait for one of the strippers to enter the catwalk and give her a tip.
Behind the bar there's a door with an electronic lock. Use the keyboard on the wall to enter 4768 and go inside. Pick up the erotic movie from the desk and insert the DVD into the player in the corner.
While you're at it, you can also listen to the message on the answering machine.
Win a poker game at the arcades.
Win a game of Alien Abortion by hitting the alien heads leaning out of the woman's body. Winning will reward you with Lots of Whacking.
Play Air Hockey against the machine. Win 7:0 to unlock Air-Duke.
Another answering machine can be found in the employee room behind the toilets.
Now head onto the upper floor, to the "Champagne Room", where a stripper which promised you a dance in return for three items is waiting for you. On your way there, listen to the message recorded on the answering machine beside the clerk.
![Inside the club you can also unlock Party Animal by drinking all 9 beer cans found there [Chapter 6] - 10. Duke Nukems Titty City - Campaign - Duke Nukem Forever - Game Guide and Walkthrough](https://game.lhg100.com/Article/UploadFiles/201512/2015121518333667.jpg)
Inside the club you can also unlock Party Animal by drinking all 9 beer cans found there [Chapter 6].
Once you reach the private room and the show begins, the level will end.
Once the opening cutscene ends, start climbing up the tentacles to the next level. You will reach a blockade of green cocoons with a Railgun beside. Pierce through the cocoons and jump. You will be attacked by a couple waves of assault troopers which will arrive by ships.
You have to keep this position, until a ship destroys the pillar which will open the further passage. Before however you leave this platform, look out for corpses with a sport bag, ball and a couple frisbees lying beside. Throw one of them to earn additional Ego.
After a short climbing you will reach the wreck of the ship you have fallen out of. Luckily the gun mounted on it has survived and it will come in very handy in shooting incoming enemy ships. At some point your carrier will start sliding down, so jump out of it before you fall with it.
After reaching the next platform, you will find a Devastator hanging above it and an EDF chest. After you collect the weapon, you will stand face to face with the alien battleship.
Once you shoot it down, one of the aliens will decide to take you on a test flight to Duke Burger. During the flight, execute the prompt that will appear onscreen.
After landing inside turn around, jump over the tentacles (shooting the puffballs while you're at it) and walk along the corridor to the employee room. Before it you will find an answering machine - the next step to unlocking Call Waiting.
Inside the employee room you will find a cigar, smoke it for additional Ego.
Return to where you landed and head into the proper direction. Inside the toilet you will reach there's a puzzle involving the utilization of the shrinker.
Before you shrink yourself, search the cabins. In one of them you will find a porn magazine which will give you another Ego point.
Now it's time to shrink. The only exit from the toilet is through the hole in the wall, from which an electrical cable sticks out. As mini-Duke, go through the ventilation into the closed room beside the cabins. Enlarge yourself, use the switch to cut off the power and return to the shrinker to shrink yourself again.
By going along the boxes you will reach the sink and from there the hole in the wall. A small slalom between the pipes and wires will lead you to the next part of the level.
The wall (or rather ceiling you're walking on) will crumble beneath you, for starters. Stick to the left to avoid landing straight on the exploding puffballs and enlarge yourself. Inside the dining room you should look out for the small Pigs hiding beneath the buckets.
Jump to the next room through the hole in the wall, where you will be compulsorily shrinked. You should easily find the path by jumping onto the counter and from there along the wire onto the tentacle.
Inside the arcades there will be a surprise waiting for you - aliens (normal sized) will enter, together with the door. The best solution here would be to lure them into one of the many shrinkers found in the room.
Go to the supply room from which the aliens came. Another platforming section awaits you there. Use all the boxes and everyday items to reach the upper shelves and eventually the vent.
On the other side there's a room flooded with electrified water. Follow the most obvious path to reach the dishwasher which you have to turn on with the nearby button in order to move on.
On one of the shelves you will have to knock over a broom leaning against it to reach the other side. keep looking out for the miniaturised Pigs and mice traps.
Eventually one of the highest shelves will lean, suggesting you a downward path. After returning onto the higher shelves on the other side of the flooded floor, you will reach a gas stove which burners are turning on and off.
Choose the right moment and you should be able to pass onto the plate with hamburgers that you have to jump along. You will reach a knocked over trolley and a corpse, use them to reach the shelf with a toaster.
Turn it on and get onto it to reach the top shelf thanks to the toasts. From there, ride down the hanger onto the pan. The last part of the track is blocked by some more frying burgers and a deep fryer which you definitely don't want to fall into.
After turning off the power, the saved employee will open the door to the backroom, where you will find a vent leading to the next stage.
Exit the vent (you have to break the grate beneath you) to find a magnifier and a ladder leading to the roof. There, beneath the corpse of a scientist (?) you will have the chance to find the Shrink Gun.
Soon enough the aliens will start dropping reinforcements onto the roof. It's a good idea to place a few mines beneath the vents and luring the enemies there. Once you run out of ammo for the Shrink Gun, go up the stairs onto the shelter on the roof. There you will find another Shrink Gun. Inside the same shelter, in an EDF chest you will find Holo Duke, which you can use to draw away enemy attention if it becomes too crowded.
By using it, you can also unlock He's Got a hologram!
Enemies will keep on coming, so keep an eye on your ammunition and explosives. Use steroids as last resort and finish off them off personally. A beer can also be useful in dire moments.
By the end, two Commanders will appear. If you still have the Holo Duke, now would be a great moment to use it.
This stage will begin with a flight over the highway and canyon, where you will have a chance to shoot some aliens from a gun of a very large calibre. Note that the missiles' flight path is declining.
Once the flight ends, the EDF dropship will drop you nearby Duke's truck. Before you enter it, return to the furthest building you were shooting at. You will find a chest with charges, beside the sign on the wall.
Once you enter the truck, you're in for some easy driving. Stick to the signs to reach the end of this part of the stage.
Keep sticking to the track. Drive over enemies on your way to unlock Road Rage. Make an exception at one of the junctions and drive towards the downed dropship, where you will find a RPG, machinegun and some pipe bombs.
Return onto the proper track and jump over the gorge. After a few spectacular jumps you will reach the ruined highway and you will eventually run out of fuel. Get out of the truck and head to the nearby cabin. The way there, of course, will be filled with Pigs (mainly).
Before you enter the cabin, go to the left side of the highway where you will find a viewpoint. Use the telescope and enjoy the view and freshly gained Ego point.
Now go to the cabin. In order to get inside, you have to first break the padlock and afterwards use the wires to reach the roof and jump in. Inside, apart from fuel, you will also find a Holo Duke and a couple mines. Turn on the computer on the desk for another Ego point. Listen to the messages on the two answering machines.
Once you take the canister, break the planks blocking the door and return to the truck to refill the tank. The last part of the track will be made more difficult by the enemy ships which will destroy a big portion of the highway forcing you to a constant slalom.
After a short ride you will reach a few demolished houses and windmills, beside which some Pigs are (literally) swimming in mud. Behind the biggest house (or rather barrack) there's a tractor.
Get out of the truck and jump through the hole in the roof using the tractor. Inside you will find some EDF supplies, a can of beer and will have the unique chance of putting a rat into a microwave :P
Return to the truck and drive further. After a few crazy jumps you will run out of fuel yet again. You will land at a spot taken out of a western movie - however the wooden houses aren't populated by cowboys but rather various aliens.
A bit on the side, to the right of the city there's a ruined church - search for a porn magazine below one of the benches to build up Duke's Ego metre. There you will also find a corpse of an alien, who was nice enough to leave behind an Enforcer Gun.
Return to the city and fight your way to the end of the street, where a barn is. Pretty much every house has some weapon, ammunition and explosives inside, which will come in very handy as the area is overflowing with Pigs.
There are also red barrels scattered throughout the street which you can throw at enemies. Behind the hovel on the right side of the street there's also a toilet, inside which you can find steroids.
The barn itself is guarded by two big aliens, with a flying fatty as a bonus. After eliminating all the enemies, enter the barn and solve an easy puzzle consisting of moving a pallet. Firstly go up the ladder and use the handle to move the pallet so that you're able to jump to the other side.
Walk across the pallet and go up the ladder to the last level and use another lever to lower the second ladder.
Return to the pallet controlling the pallet and move it to the right. Go back along the ladders onto the other side and jump onto the pallet to reach another fuel canister.
Time to sit behind the wheel again and drive through the barn as if it was a house of cards, straight to the end of the level.
There are no Ego boosts, puzzles or stops in this level - just you, your truck and hordes of Pigs. Once you enter the highway, look out for red barrels the aliens toss at you.
As expected, you're out of fuel once again. The Monster Truck is one hell of a drinker.
At first most of the fights will be at long distance, but luckily there are lots of Railguns in the area. Their scopes will be invaluable here. Your first goal is to reach the EDF dropship wreck on the other side of the gully.
While slowly fighting your way towards it, keep your eyes opened for the machinegun post which the enemies will be eager to use to make your life more unpleasant. Once you reach your goal, use the second machinegun yourself and massacre the incoming waves of enemies.
Once you're done with them, an alien battleship will fly above the canyon. Quickly enter the wreck of your allied dropship and pick up the RPG. Beside the wreck there's also an ammo crate, so you don't have to worry about rockets.
The downed battleship will create a bridge which you can use to get higher and head to the barricaded mine below the waterfall. Inside the tunnels, keep going along the tracks until you come across a car. Throw out the barrels, push it to the top of the hill, get inside and release the brake.
After a hard landing, collect the fuel and get ready for a fight with Octababies and Pregnators that will fill the cave you're in. As always, you can trample the little Octababies and shoot the Pregnators.
After the fight, go up to the higher level along the scaffolding. At the top you will find a another car. Do the same as with the last one and enjoy the ride, ending by your truck. Fill the tank and drive towards the next stage.
The first part of the level takes place inside the Monster again. Avoid enemy fire and the rolling stones until you fall into the water.
Go up the ladder and join the fight on the dam. After killing a dozen or so Pigs, a Pit Lord (stronger than the one in Vegas) will join the fight. Change your weapon for one of the RPGs lying in the area and shoot everything you've got at him. A beer can before the fight is advisable.
This Pit Lord has to be weakened twice before you're finally able to humiliate him. Chests with infinite ammo and explosive charges at the beginning of the dam will prove invaluable in this uneven fight.
After the fight, go to the other end of the dam where you will come across a yellow school bus. Inside there's a paper plane. Throw it for another Ego point. Apparently Duke doesn't have big needs ;)
Eventually go down the line to the bottom of the dam and go underground.
Start off by going left, where you will find a room "infested" by aliens, with a cocooned body at the end.
Return to the beginning and go to the room with two workers and a soldier. Pick up the Freeze Gun and head to the next room to freeze some pork. It's the best change you will get to unlock Freeze Well.
Once you freeze every Pig around, go into the room behind the double door. There you will find an answering machine with a message to listen to and a calendar which you can take a look at for another Ego boost. Look through all the pages for I Need a Date.
Return to the corridor through which you came here. One of the workers will be waiting by the entrance and he'll open up a door leading deeper into the tunnels.
After going down the stairs you will reach a room partly blocked by alien "plants". The only way to destroy them is using hot steam. In order to do it, you have to turn the nearby valve, wait for them to melt and turn it again.
Of course that was only an introduction to a puzzle, as the further road is blocked my more plants. This time you have to properly set the red pipes, so that the steam can get from one end of the room to the other.
After a short walk you will reach the engine room. Eliminate the enemies and destroy the plank blocking the valve which lowers the ladder.
Go up and follow the corridor, but look out as at its end there's a Pig with a RPG and its companion. On your way you will also find a can of beer inside the locker. Behind the door the Pigs were guarding there's a room with a "shrinker" - use it and enter the vent the rats came out of. Inside you will find a small EDF supply crate.
Return to the main room and remove the screws to enter the next vent, this time the proper one.
Move deeper and a grate will crumble beneath you, taking you all the way to where a fan is blocked by a broom. Before you destroy it, shoot the puffballs blocking the vent and waiting to explode you in the face.
Now unblock the fan and keep the "forwards" button pressed down while going up. that way you will reach a hidden room.
Collect the items found inside, jump back into the shaft and enter another one at the top. Remove the screw from the hatch and follow the wires to the very top of the shaft, where there are gears. At the very top, jump down into the canal. You will come across a fan with electrodes around it and a fuse. Shoot the fuse and switch off the vent to move on.
Inside the heated room with moving gears, you will have to pass through the holes found in them. Look out now to fall between electrical arches by the end.
Above, you will find yourself beside the pistons. Shoot all the fuses in the vents around them to stop the machine. You will have to move between the pistons to reach the last fuse. Once you're done, you will be stopped by a giant fan blocking your way and you will be able to enter the next vent.
After getting out of it, climb up to the top shelf of the room you're in. At the top, go through the window to the next room.
Approach the elevator, jump inside and press the button. A swarm of Octababies will enter the room. If that wasn't enough, an alien soldier will come out of the elevator once you're done with them. Luckily killing him isn't that hard, if only you stay at safe distance and aim at the head.
Inside the elevator, approach the button by going along the handrail.
After going out of the elevator, start off by destroying the barrel blocking the way to the enlarging machine and return to your normal size.
Afterwards enter the room above the broken forklift. On the right, beside the door, you will find the "69MM" magazine which will increase your Ego. If you have been following my hints up to now, you should receive the I Am All That Is Man achievement for collecting all the Ego increasing items. From now on the only increases you will earn will be for defeating bosses, so enough with checking out every corner.
Now use the switch beside the window and go down to the main gate. Use the remote to get outside.
Go up the ladder onto the platform. Watch how the electric bolt moves and start going forward once it changes its direction.
On the other side, go down and destroy the crate to get through the hole in the fence. After a short fight with Octabrains, you will reach a corner with a Railgun leaning against the wall. I'd suggest using it, as there are Pigs at the end of the alley in front of you which additionally like using the machinegun post found there.
Once you kill the Pigs, more Octabrains will appear. Deal with them quickly and run to the machinegun post, as an Octaking will have its first (and not last) appearance. Using the machinegun, you should deal with quickly and rather without problems.
In the end go through the gate beside the machinegun post.
Right after you pass through the gate, go towards the lift and lower the forklift. Get inside and drive it down the corridor, driving over Pigs on your way. Kill 6 of them this way to earn Fork the Pork.
Inside one of the rooms to the left of the main corridor you will find the Freeze Gun. After reaching a fence, get out of the forklift and jump over using the pallet on the second one.
You will reach a dark corridor with a red warning light visible on the other side. Go inside the corridor behind the door marked with this light and find the dispatch room at its end. Before heading inside, mine the corridor with pillars that you just came through, if possible.
Use the switch in the dispatch room. Large Pig forces will enter the hall and some of them will head towards you through the corridor that you had presumably mined. Once you get rid of them, you will have the chance to earn one of the most difficult to find achievements in the game - Companion Barrel [Chapter 6].
After taking everything you want from the secret closet, go inside the opposite elevator.
Right after getting out of the elevator, turn left and approach the double door but don't yet go through it. Opposite to them there's a sink and an answering machine with a recorded message.
After listening to the message, go to the other side of the generator room, where the general and his men are waiting for you. Beside there's also a room behind a fence, with some supplies inside.
After the general's motivation speech, head to the other side of the "infected" generator room and go up the ladder to the control panel of the crane, from which two pipes are hanging. Place the pipes so that you can cross them to the turbines. Throughout the whole hall you will have to avoid bolts of electricity which isn't too hard with some patience and timing.
Use the tentacles and ladders to get to the gantry cabin and onto the platform. Luckily its operator is alive and will give you a ride. The trip will be long and slow, but definitely not boring as flying enemies will be attacking you from every side and at the end you will once again have to face the Octaking. This time you will have the chance to finish what you started the last time.
On the gantry platform you will find the Devastator with an unlimited amount of ammo, so you don't have to worry about running out of rockets during the right. Avoid the energy attacks and the flying items by hiding behind obstacles and constantly moving.
Octaking won't surrender even after losing the fight and will start pulling in the gantry platform. A full Devastator clip should change his mind.
After the fight you will have to go down off the platform and enter the elevator room. The elevator unfortunately is out of order, so you will have to jump into the flooded shaft.
At first your path will be blocked by a small fire. Shoot the extinguisher beside it to put it out and go down the stairs. If you don't have a Ripper, below the stairs you will find a corpse with the mentioned weapon beside it. It will come in handy in the further part of the level, so try to keep it with you.
A bit further you will reach the lowest level of the generator and your path will be blocked by the alien plants. Just go below them
Here your path will be blocked by a still working turbine with a impeller which will grind anything that falls into it - apart from the metal cabinets on wheels that can be found in the area. Push them all (three) into the impellers go stop it.
Go up the nearby stairs onto the upper floor, where you will find an employee room (you can catch up with a few Ego points if you missed any). At its end you will find an ventilation shaft with a loose grate.
After getting out of the shaft, dive and follow the underwater corridor to the airlock which you have to open to reach the flooded turbine. You can refill on air using the air bubbles appearing here and there. Once inside, look out for the blades which can hurt you pretty badly.
Once you swim beside the turbine, you will find another airlock - this time an open one. Now you will understand why I told you to keep the Ripper. After swimming into the corridor on the other side of the airlock, you will be attacked by a group of Octababies. Try not to get surrounded and keep an eye on your oxygen meter.
Return to the surface using the ladder and you will find yourself right above the turbines. Jump down onto the crates below and turn on Duke Vision, as lights are going to be turned off.
Go down along the corridor from which the rocket has been launched. Look out for enemies lurking in the darkness and cocoons from which Pregnators hatch.
After clearing the room, go up the stairs back to the turbines and move further along the corridor filled with crates and barrels.
Go forward through the corridor which will lead you to a locked door. You will reach a monitoring room, where you can listen to another message on an answering machine and enter another corridor filled with crates.
After clearing the corridor of various enemies, destroy the crates blocking the wheeled scaffolding and push it towards the wall to be able to climb up.
Shoot the pig on the crane and jump down through the hole to the room below you.
Listen to the message recorded on the answering machine on the desk and go to the main hall.
Your task now will be to weight down the boards hanging from the crane, so that it leans to the other side. In order to do that, you have to find the blue barrels.
After throwing the first one which is right beside the crane, a lifter will enter with a bang and a group of pigs will come in.
Get inside the lifter and drive it below one of the scaffoldings co that you can get onto it and take the barrel from it.
Afterwards place the lifter beside gate number 1 and take the barrel from high above.
Once you throw the barrel onto the crane, more enemies will come in through gates number 2 and 3. After eliminating them, you will find the last barrel behind gate number 3.
After throwing it onto the crane, two flying fatties will fly into the hall. Luckily the pigs you were fighting before left behind lots of RPGs that will come in very handy. After defeating the Commanders, get onto the crane using the scaffoldings and further downwards the tunnels.
Soon after the level loads, you will land in a room infected by aliens. Get to the other side and enter the round ventilation shaft along the tentacles and scaffoldings. There are quite a few cocooned bodies in the area which will allow you to restock on ammo and explosive materials.
After getting out of the vent, jump along the spools hanging on the water to reach the other "shore". Use the corridor on the other side to reach the room with an answering machine on the wall. If you have been following this guide, you should unlock Call Waiting after listening to the recorded message, as it's the last one in the game.
By going further along the corridor you will reach a flooded room. Cross the red pipes onto the main bridge, collect the explosives needed to blow up the dam and go down. Use the bridge control panel to turn it by 180 degrees. Octabrains will be disturbing you, so use the supplies from the crate.
Avoid the electric bolts to reach the switch, turn off the power and return to the middle of the bridge.
Jump down from it into the water, turn the valve at the bottom and swim into the opened channel.
From the beginning of the level, pay attention to the catfish swimming in the area, as killing them will unlock Pescaphobe [Chapter 6].
Swim along the channel until you reach the first valve. Turn it and swim out through the broken off grate above. I'd also recommend turning on Duke Vision.
Now you need to follow the yellow pipes that will lead you from valve to valve. Keep looking around in search of working flashlights, as usually they mean there are collectibles in form of explosives, ammunition etc.
After turning each valve, the bubbles you passed by will disappear, more will appear in front of you and enemies will attack you. Plant the first explosive on the grate below two pipe bows and swim further.
Keep following the designated route until you reach a valve with a RPG lying beside. Be sure to pick it up, as you will have to fight the second to last boss. Open the valve and swim to the grate in the distance, where you will find another explosive charge and you will be attacked by the Energy Leech.
On both sides of this underwater battlefield there are wrecks of sunken EDF dropships with infinite supply of ammunition. Aim at the worm's head and keep moving between the wrecks. Don't stop even for a moment, as the boss will try to crush you. From time to time the Leech will grab your rocket and spit it at you, but it shouldn't do you much harm if you won't be staying in one place.
In return for winning you will receive the last Ego point, therefore reaching its maximum level (assuming you collected all the previous ones). Now swim into the channel from which the worm came and swim out through the hatch at its end.
At this part of the game you don't have to search for anything, there won't even be time for that. Keep following the yellow arrows on the walls, the EXIT labels and doors with "Emergency Evacuation Route" signs, as the corridor will soon start filling up with water.
At places where the route seems to end, search for characteristic elements pointing you the way, such as red pipes you can walk on. On your way you will also have to kill a few pigs.
Eventually you will the staircase with barrels rolling down - usually red. Every few metres there will be niches on the right which you can use to hide from the falling barrels.
After reaching the top, keep following the red alarm lights until you reach a bridge that will collapse on your eyes. Go down the ladder to the left of the bridge.
The ladder below will lead you straight to a double channel entrance. Enter the lower one (you can't reach the upper one) and let the wave carry you.
Time to take care of the Cycloid, the alien Emperor. You will start having only your gold Colt, but as the fight moves further, alien reinforcements will start arriving. Kill the pigs to obtain a RPG and start shooting rockets at the Emperor.
There's not much more to add - the tactic is very similar to the Cycloid fight from the beginning of the game.
Unlike the previous game, in Duke Nukem Forever you can only carry two weapons which you can change at any time. The only exception are explosives (bombs and mines) which are a separate category and you can have them at any time .
Not much to add here - fists are an effective weapon, requiring fighting at close range.
The other is the case with gun butts which you can use to finish off an enemy.
Colt M1911 is a gold-plated and engraved Duke's favourite. It's a very effective weapon at all ranges. Additionally headshots from this weapon deal four times the normal damage and melee attacks are two times faster than with other weapons.
There's also a variant of this weapon used by EDF, but they only differ in appearance.
A classic shotgun well-known from the previous game. Most effective at close range, as the scatter effect increases with distance. Reloaded one bullet at a time and can shoot with even one bullet loaded.
Also a weapon known form the previous game. Three-barrel gun which drains the clip quickly and is very effective against big groups of enemies.
The most powerful weapon in the game with a great damage per second ratio. Each barrel shoots a highly accurate rocket which however gets lower with distance. Individual rockets are weaker than the ones fired from a RPG, but the Devastator's speed makes up for it.
An energy shot fired from this weapon shrinks enemies, additionally weakening their weapons 10 times. Shrinked enemies can be easily trampled - just look down and step onto them.
The RPG can work in two modes. In the first, rockets fly straight towards where they were aimed at. However if you keep the cursor on an enemy, the rocket will lock on the target and follow it.
Remotely detonated pipe bomb. Unlike the other weapons, you can always have it beside you, even if you already have two other weapons. After throwing the bomb you can detonate it or throw more to detonate them all at once.
Laser mines, just like the pipe bombs, can be in your inventory even if you have a set of weapons. It can be attached to any surface (including living opponents), therefore creating traps. You can also detonate it by shooting it or throwing an item into the laser beam.
This exotic weapon emits a beam that freezes enemies. The beam has a short range, so anything further than around 10 metres won't be frozen. In return, the energy regenerates itself. You can't use the Freeze Ray while underwater, or you will freeze Duke.
A truly deadly weapon in proper hands. Its slow, but can kill with one bullet which additionally penetrates walls, obstacles and enemies. The Railgun is also equipped with a strong sight, also you can use it as a sniper rifle. An accurate shot in the head will cause it to swell and explode.
This deadly toy is the basic equipment of Assault Enforcers. Kill one of them and you will be able to make use of this weapon yourself, shooting three guided missiles with each shot. This weapon is completely useless at longer range, as if the rockets won't find a target quickly, they will fly in random directions.
A standard equipment of alien troopers. Each time you press the trigger, three laser beams are fired and then the gun needs some time to reload. It's the first gun (apart from fists) that you will be able to use in the game (not including the Devastator during the prologue).
Simply put, this gun can be called a laser minigun. Just like guns of this type, it has moving barrels that need to reach a certain speed before being able to shoot. A good weapon on short or medium range or against slow enemies.
Your equipment is limited to only one piece of each item, so judge well the situation when you want to use them.
Drinking a beer will give you a temporary damage 75% damage reduction and additionally slow down time which might come in handy with dodging enemy bullets and aiming. The cost for that is a blurred vision and constant burping ;)
Taking steroids will significantly your melee attacks for a short period of time, but will limit you to using only them. Your Ego bar will also increase to 75% of its maximum level.
A portable hologram lets you draw enemy attention away from yourself by creating a moving and shooting copy of Duke. The hologram cannot be destroyed before it depletes on its own and its weapon doesn't deal any damage. In the same time you gain invisibility and can safely deal with enemies.
Dukevision is basically night vision built into Duke's glasses. You always have them with you, so you can use it at any time and without limit. Note that bright places will be lit up even more
Below you will find a throughout description of the enemies that you will come across several times throughout the game. Bosses are described in the next subchapter.
Most basic units, Privates among the alien forces. They can be distinguished by green armour covering their chest and crotch. They are equipped with AT Lasers and jetpacks that allow them to fly if only there is enough space. The first and weakest enemies you will come across.
The privates' superiors, easily distinguishable thanks to their red armour covering most of their body and masks. Just like the previous ones, they're equipped with jetpacks and additionally they can teleport, always trying to attack you from behind. They are also have a better gun, the AT Captain Laser. During the fight you first deprive them of their armour and only afterwards you can kill them. As they tend to teleport right after you shoot at them, the shotgun and railgun prove to be very efficient as they deal high damage with a single shot.
This slow "lizard" with a ring in his nose is a tough and dangerous enemy. From a distance he attacks with the Enforcer Gun described in the previous chapter and at close range he can deal big damage with melee attacks.
Sometimes Enforcers appear equipped with big shields held in the left hand. In order to kill such units you first need to get rid of their shields or attack from behind which might be quite problematic and not always possible.
Leaders of the assault unit (further referred to as "fatties"). Just like the Captains they have the ability to fly, however they cannot walk (no visible lower limbs). They attack with rockets fired from their... butts. They can also ram you with the moving blades and mutate normal people into Pig Cops.
By far the most popular enemy in the previous game, "pigs" are mutated EDF soldiers which can be noticed by the remains of their uniforms.
Pigs come in a few types and are equipped with various weapons used by the EDF - mainly pistols, shotguns, machineguns and rocket launchers. They also often use pipe bombs which they sometimes drop after dying.
Another type of pigs are weapon-less units which charge and jump at you, attacking with claws. Sometimes pigs fall into a berserker mode, regaining health and charging at you with claws.
The last type are Super Pig Cops, much larger than others of their kind and always use RPGs.
Octabrains are flying octopuses with glowing eyes. They can thrust items at you or shoot a telekinetic missile. they explode when killed, making them dangerous even after death.
Never use RPGs and pipe bombs against them and also don't try to stick a mine to them. In the first two cases they will just throw the them back at you and with a mine attached to them they will go berserk and charge at you, trying to catch you in the explosion.
Octabrains can swim, so you will also meet them underwater.
This little ugly creatures are Octabrains in larval stage. Luckily they aren't even half as dangerous as their adult form and can be even trampled as they cannot fly. They attack in groups and try to jump at you with their claws.
They hatch in groups of three from the bodies of the abducted and impregnated women you will come across during The Hive.
They can swim as well, so be ready to come across them during underwater levels.
Pregnators impregnate abducted women and can be always found in "infected" areas. They hatch from eggs growing on the ground, walls and even ceilings. They attack similarly to Octababies but are also able to shoot acid from afar.
Small and fast alien ships. They appear only in open areas and usually fly in groups of three. Don't waste rockets on them, as they are too fast for them. Stationary machineguns work best.
Large Dropships used to drop enemy forces. Much more resistant than Fighters, they however don't dispose much firepower.
They can be shot down using only rockets or stationary machineguns.
A slower equivalent of the Dropship, however in this model the hatch has been replaced with solid weaponry.
Much more dangerous than the small and fragile Fighters and more resistant than Dropships, they attack with laser and rockets.
They can be shot down only using rockets or stationary machineguns.
Spiked "tentacles" can be found only in areas infected by aliens, growing on walls, ground and ceilings. They attack when you get close, but it can be stopped by shooting them. They often appear accompanied by a glowing eye which serves them as their own. Shoot the eye to neutralise the tentacles for a short while.
Neither the tentacles or the eye can be killed, only temporarily neutralized.
Normally not dangerous, they pose a threat once Duke gets shrinked. They attack by jumping at you with their teeth and usually in groups. One pistol shot is enough to kill them.
When Duke isn't shrinked, he can stomp on these rodents, put them into microwaves, throw or even "squeeze out" ;)
You will come across the Emperor twice throughout the game - at the very beginning and at the end. The first one is just a warm-up, but it shows what you can expect.
The emperor attacks with rockets and a energy "shock wave" which can knock Duke down to the ground. Additionally if you get too close to him, he might try stomping on you or grab and throw to the ground.
In order to kill the Cycloid, you first need to weaken him enough for him to fall on his knees, approach him, interact and follow the commands displayed on screen.
The method during the last fight stays the same, however you will need to repeat this action three times. Only rockets and explosive materials are effective against the Cycloid.
[Chapter 5.1 and 5.23]
The Mothership is a large, flying fortress equipped with three laser cannons. One of them is pointed towards you and is the ship's only weak point.
The fortress itself won't attack you, but Fighters and Dropships will keep flying out of it.
If you won't destroy the ship in time, you will be directly attacked by the laser in front of you which won't end well.
[Chapter 5.4]
Just like the Cycloid, you will have to fight this enemy twice as well. The fight itself is similar as well: first you need to drop the giant to his knees and then finish him off by following the commands displayed on the screen.
The Battlelord's main weapon is a giant minigun, capable of shooting grenades as well. Additionally the Battlelord might kick a car wreck or a barrel towards you.
The first meeting in Las Vegas requires only one "weakening" and is also made easier thanks to the "pillar" around which you can run to avoid shots.
The second meeting at the Hoover Dam will require you to weaken the Battlelord twice. Additionally you will be able to hide from his attacks only behind car wrecks, which he can kick at you.
Only rockets and explosive materials are effective against the Battlelord.
[Chapter 5.6]
You will meet the Queen by the stadium on which you fought the Emperor during the prologue.
This three-breasted monster will attack you with energy shots, "melee" attacks and eggs, from which Pregnators hatch. By the end of the fight she will also call in Octabrains that will try to intercept your missiles and throw them back at you.
At the beginning the Queen will be protecting with her limbs - in order to make her expose herself, you have to throw a pipe bomb at one of the springboards on the sides of the arena and detonate it once it's beside her. After some time the Queen will stop protecting - Octabrains will appear then.
[Chapter 5.9]
You will meet this flying giant for the first time by the end of the first part of The Forkstop. In order to defeat him you will need the nearby machinegun post. His attacks aren't much different than the tactic used by Octabrains, but are of a bigger calibre.
The second meeting will take place by the end of the second level of Generator Room. The fight itself will be longer and you will have a Devastator with infinite ammo at your disposal.
After the first, supposed death, Octaking will regain his health and will try to draw you to him together with the whole platform you're on. One Devastator clip will do the job.
[Chapter 5.18.1 and 5.19]
The Leech is the second to last boss. You will come across it during Blowin' the Dam. The Leech has three attacks. The first one is an energy ball similar to the ones that Octabrains shoot at you, but faster. The second is an attempt to crush you with its own body. The hardest attack is the "whirl" it creates to draw you into its jaws.
The hardest part about this fight is the sole nature of the level. While underwater your movements are slow and you have to breath in air often. Luckily air bubbles can be found on the way to EDF crates which you will be visiting often to restock on RPG ammo.
