Fused Reanimated is one of the Romeo is a dead mans most visually grotesque encounters, and it fights as disgustingly as it looks. This poisonous monstrosity specializes in turning the battlefield itself into a weapon, coating surfaces with poison while alternating between aggressive rushes and roof-bound retreats.
The sheer amount of environmental hazards can make this feel overwhelming at first, but there's a rhythm to be found when you accept that clean footing is a luxury you don't often have. Your ranged arsenal becomes just as crucial as your melee skills here, turning the boss's frequent retreats into opportunities rather than frustrations.

Venom spit |
The boss shoots a large stream of poison from its mouth. The stream will be aimed directly at the floor in front of it, and then follow a vertical path in Romeo's direction. |
It's pretty easy to notice when this attack starts – start moving to the side as soon as you see it to avoid it. If you're close, this is a good time to get in some damage. |
|
Melee attack |
The manager performs two sweeping strokes before slams into the ground. There is also a variation of the first punch that comes grab Romeo and throw him away for great damage. |
This attack only comes out when you are close, so just be careful when it starts and get out of the way to avoid the ground slam. |
|
Charge attack |
The boss crosses his arms and drive Romeo. This will be a few dashes in a row. |
A good way to avoid this is by sprinting to the sides – dodges on your own are often not long enough to get out of the way. |
|
Poison pools |
The boss is coming hang from the ceiling at certain points in the fight. It will find a place and then start shoots out orbs of purple – these will stay on the floor and hurt Romeo if he touches them. |
Keep an eye on the boss when it's on the roof, and note where on the battlefield it spits the noxious substance. |
|
Muddy landing |
After being attached to the ceiling for a while, the boss will hit the ground in Romeo's direction, dealing damage if he's close enough. |
There isn't much range on this move, so simply move away from the boss when it's on the ceiling. |
|
Poison waterfall |
When the boss is in poor health, it starts open channels while attached to the ceiling, which will spew more venom. This creates larger pools of harmful areas on the floor. |
This simply makes the battlefield even more dangerous, so stay alert when moving. |
|
Poison Tornado |
The boss is coming spin all the time on your backand starts firing two jets of projectiles – one near the ground, one in the air. |
If you try to jump over the ground level projectiles, you will be hit by the air. Instead, dodge through the ground level projectiles when the beam reaches you. |

There is always a boss.
How to beat Fused Reanimated
This is a boss that doesn't give you much time or space to adjust, so you have to learn exactly when your injuries openings are. Thank goodness the boss has three obvious weak points which should take down a good chunk of its health. If you're struggling to hit them thanks to how frantic and jumpy the boss is, we recommend using the machine gun – it's the perfect tool for moving targets like this.
The weak spot on the boss's back is hard to hit even with the machine gun, as it loves to face you. Try baiting it into attacking a Bastard, then get behind it to snipe the weak spot!
There's quite a bit of downtime in this battle – the boss loves to get out of range by clinging to the ceiling. This makes it a good time to break out your best gun and ranged damage. Every little bit helps with a boss with a health bar as thick as this one!
Strangely, the boss gets one a little easier when it's lower on health. Poison Tornado is fairly easy to deal with and as long as you keep an eye on your movement the hazards on the battlefield are easily avoided. It becomes an easy game to counter its quick strikes with clean escapes and physical weapon retaliation.
This is one battle where saving Bloody Summer charges is useful – you'll want to save them to recover from unexpected damage you take from the battlefield hazards and the boss's most difficult-to-avoid attacks.
