Nipulon is one of the highest-ranking members of the G3 cartel, second only to Garmantuous himself. He is responsible for all the crazy drugs the cartel pushes and is eager to use them on you with only the slightest provocation. Get ready to lose your mind. Here’s how to survive the waves of hallucinogenics and take down Nipulon.
The Introduction
After reaching Nipulon’s office, you’ll quickly enter thefirst phase of the battle.Nipulon will hop over his desk and run around his office, firing shots at you. This part of the battle is very easy.Just keep your distance, dodge what you may, and continue returning fire back at him.
After you drain his health,Nipulon will put a shield on before filling the room with a pink gas.You can try flying above it with your jetpack, but there is no escaping the hallucinogenics that are seeping into you. Before long, you’ll be thrust into anillusionary version of Blim City.
Blim City Loop
For the next part of the battle, you’ll find yourself in aninfinitely looping mashup of Blim City.As you move in one direction, you’ll seemultiple versions of the same scene growing larger with each repeating image.In the other direction, the same effect takes place but in a constantly shrinking manner. You’ll find Gene sitting on a bench in the middle of the illusion. Talk to him and answer his questions to progress through this part of the battle.
After answering all of his questions, he’ll disappear, and ahole leading out of the illusion will appear.If you don’t see it right away,point yourself in the direction where you are moving toward the miniature version of the illusionand continue moving this way until you see abeam of light shooting out of a hole in the ground.Jump in the hole to get to the next part of the battle.
Shadow Clone Army
In this next phase, you’ll be facing off against anarmy of Nipulon shadow clones.As you fire off shots at the clones, they’ll disappear without it affecting Nipulon’s health bar. In order to do real damage and end this phase of the hallucination, you’ll need to play a classic game of“where’s Nipulon.”
To find the real Nipulon, you’ll need to pay attention to the colors of his skin and armor.The clones tend to have green or purple skin, while thereal Nipulon has tan skin.Once you see him, you’ll notice how much he stands out from the rest. Just continue to fire at him using Kenny or Sweezy, and you’ll drain his health in no time.

Sibling Psychosis
After defeating the shadow clone army, you’ll be thrust into another illusion. Hereyou’ll find your sister in the midst of a battlefieldfull of destroyed parts of your house.
Just like the Blim City illusion, you’ll need tocontinue speaking with her and answering her questions for the illusion to end.Once she disappears, continue moving in the direction of the miniature version of the illusionuntil you find the hole and jump in.
Shadow Clone Cyclone
After jumping into the hole, you’ll find yourself back in the dark void where you fought the shadow clones before. This time around, Nipulon will keep the shadow clones in a tight formation, each of them firing out a constant laser beam.
As this formation begins to rotate,you’ll need to dodge the lasers while firing off shots to thin out the clones and find the real Nipulon.Fire at the real Nipulon to drain his health. He’ll continue regenerating clones and spinning the formation around, so you may need to go through this cycle a few times before you exit to the next part of the hallucination.

Gatlian Group Therapy
After defeating the shadow clone cyclone, you’ll find yourself in the third and final illusionary world. Here,you’ll need to run around to find all of your guns that have been placed throughout the world. You’llfind Creature on a lab table with some robotics above it.Kenny will be resting on an Applebees booth table,and you can findGus on the rubble the tractor is digging up. Finally, you can findSweezy on a table next to the vehicle.
After grabbing all the guns, drop through the hole again and enter the white void. Here, you will speak with each of your guns to resolve some of the internal drama that has been going on between them before being thrust into the final battle.
Coming Down Guns Blazing
As you reach the final phase of the fight, you’ll find yourself in aninfinite hallway leading toward Nipulon’s office.This time around, you’ll be able to use all four Gatlians simultaneously to rip through the hordes of shadow clones blocking your path.
As they all fire shots off at you, it may be tempting to dodge or take your time blasting through them while conserving health. This can actually be more hassle than it’s worth, so instead, justcontinue moving forward while firing through the clones.As you make your way down the hallway, guns blazing, you finally reach Nipulon in his office. When you are close enough, you’ll be able tomelee him with Knifey,allowing you to come down from this bad trip and finally claim your bounty.
