MIO: Memories in Orbit FRIENDS Boss Guide

The Friends fight isn’t especially hard on its own, but the situation makes it tricky. You are forced to battle while climbing a wall at the same time, which can feel awkward and mess with your timing. Once you adjust to moving and attacking together, the encounter becomes much easier to manage. This MIO: Memories in Orbit FRIENDS Boss Guide details all the tips and tricks you need to defeat FRIENDS.

FRIENDS Boss Guide – MIO: Memories in Orbit

The safest and most effective way to handle the Friends encounter is to stay close to the boss and keep attacking whenever possible. Staying nearby allows you to deal consistent damage and prevents the fight from dragging on longer than necessary. While the situation may feel difficult at first, especially due to movement restrictions, maintaining close pressure helps keep the encounter under control.

When the fight begins, you should immediately focus on attacking Friends. The boss is very mobile and can stretch its sticky arms to travel long distances in a single leap. This movement allows it to quickly shift positions in the arena, so it is important to stay alert and adjust your positioning as it moves. Even with this mobility, staying close limits how effective its attacks can be.

One of Friends’ common attacks involves shaking its body and firing sticky ball-shaped projectiles outward in all directions. This can quickly fill the screen and feel overwhelming. To avoid taking damage, move away from the balls as they spread outward and give them space to pass. Keeping calm and moving carefully is more effective than reacting too quickly.

As the fight progresses, things become slightly more challenging. Friends will begin spreading its sticky limbs across the screen, which reduces available space and makes it harder to see clearly. During this phase, the boss may also fire sticky balls in a straight line. To avoid this attack, step out of the line of fire while still staying as close as possible to continue dealing damage.

In some variations of this attack, Friends will fire sticky balls continuously in a straight line for several seconds. The same strategy applies here: move out of the firing path and wait until the attack ends before closing in again. Remaining patient during these moments prevents unnecessary damage.

Friends can also move rapidly across the arena using its hands, allowing it to reposition unexpectedly. On top of this, it can teleport by entering one side of the wall and emerging from the opposite side. This can catch you off guard, especially if you are staying close, as it may appear behind you and begin attacking immediately. Paying attention to its movement helps you avoid being surprised.

Finally, some attacks cause gooey extensions to drop down from above. These should not be ignored. You can attack the blobs at their ends to remove them and clear the area. Dealing with these quickly reduces pressure and keeps the climb from becoming too difficult, making it easier to finish the fight without losing control.
