Acat Boss Battle Guide – MIO: Memories in Orbit
After gaining the Hairpin movement ability, you will be eligible to fight Acat. From there, travel toward the left side of the map and pass through the long icy slide area. Use the nearby elevator to reach the second floor, then continue moving toward the top-left section. Heading into the Apartments area will lead you directly to the boss arena.
Acat controls space rather than rushing you down. Many of his attacks track your position with projectiles, encouraging panic jumps and rushed movement. This fight works best if you stay on the ground most of the time and move with purpose instead of constantly jumping. Careful positioning and patience matter more here than raw speed or aggressive play.
Acat’s Attacks and How to Handle Them
During the fight, Acat will often slam the ground, sending a wide trail of rocks sliding along the floor toward you. When this happens, jump over the rocks as they move forward. Once they pass, land on the other side of Acat and attack while he pauses after the strike.
Acat can also fire a projectile straight ahead that travels outward before curving back toward him. Avoid this by jumping over it on its first pass, then staying behind Acat. This positioning gives you a safe moment to land a few hits.
At times, Acat will leap into the air and release a missile that follows your position. The safest way to handle this is by walking steadily in one direction with small adjustments. Sudden jumps or sharp turns make the missile harder to escape, so staying calm and grounded is key.
Another dangerous move begins with Acat briefly charging power, then launching into a fast, straight dash across the arena. When you see this attack, use the Hairpin ability. This ability will lift you into the air and move you out of his path. Let him slide past you, then reposition once the dash ends. After that, attack him.
When Acat’s HP drops to about half, and when it gets even lower, the fight becomes more aggressive. His ground slam attack will become very dangerous with him sending rock waves in both directions, now and repeating the move back-to-back. During these moments, jump early and avoid rushing in for damage. Staying patient and maintaining space is far safer than trying to force attacks.
Final Tips to Defeat Acat
To win this fight, focus on controlled movement and clear decision-making. Acat is designed to punish impatience, but his attacks leave reliable openings if you stay calm. So, wait for the right moment to attack.
