Psychonauts 2 features multiple bosses for players to fight throughout the main campaign. Whether these are mini-bosses or fully-fledged boss fights, these creative enemies can appear at any time. Like bosses in the first Psychonauts games, boss fights in Psychonauts 2 are not especially difficult, as there are ample opportunities for healing and keeping a distance from enemies.
Among the mini-bosses in Psychonauts 2 is Judgement, an evil judge inside the mind of Compton Boole. The Compton’s Cookoff level begins almost immediately with the Judgement mini-boss fight. Judgement is not a terribly difficult boss and is meant to be beaten swiftly. Here’s how players can beat Judgement in Psychonauts 2.
Judgement has glowing yellow eyes, a large upper body and arms, and tiny legs. Judgement wields a giant gavel which he uses to melee attack the player. He also has an overhead smashing attack, an AoE close-range attack, and a forward swinging attack. He is a fairly slow boss, so players have plenty of time to dodge or run from his attacks. Raz will need to keep moving throughout the entire boss fight and try to stay behind Judgement.
Beating The Judgement Mini-Boss Fight In Psychonauts 2
Raz’s PSI powers can be used to incapacitate Judgement for a short period of time. For instance, using Time Bubble on Judgement while he is moving around or attacking will slow him down. While Judgement is slowed down, Raz can swing around to Judgement’s back and strike him from behind. This tactic ensures Raz will not get hit by any of Judgement’s forward-facing attacks.
Raz can also use telekinesis to temporarily disarm Judgement of his gavel. Using these two PSI powers is a good combination to use for a quick victory. Pyrokinesis can also be used to damage Judgement from a distance.
All Raz’s PSI powers in Psychonauts 2 can be used against Judgement to achieve victory, but they do not have to be used at all. Judgement is such a slow-moving boss that he can be avoided by simply running around the arena. He does not have any ranged attacks, not counting the lunging movement of his gavel swing attack. If players keep their distance from Judgement and use a combination of movement, Time Bubble, Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, and melee attacks, he will be taken down in no time.
Psychonauts 2 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and MacOS.
