Pragmata Boss Guide & Enemy Weakness Chart 2026

All 4 boss strategies, phases, loadouts + complete enemy weakness chart.

Boss Fights

Edith / Sector Guard Protocol

Chapter 1: The Lunar Quake

medium3 phases

MECHANICS

  • ›Phase 1 (30-60%): Crowd control phase — defend the primary power terminal while haywire bats and small drones attack.
  • ›Phase 2 (60-25%): Sector Guard activates. Room shifts. Use Luna-made missiles against the guard's own shielding.
  • ›Phase 3 (below 25%): Diana initiates Overdrive Protocol — damage output tripled for a window. End the fight here.
  • ›Sector Guard Protocol: Automated high-precision laser targeting. Constant movement required.
  • ›Missile Barrage: Tracking projectiles from ceiling/wall mounts. Shoot down or dodge toward them.
  • ›Emergency Lockdown: Barriers restrict movement. Protect Diana while she reboots the terminal.

RECOMMENDED LOADOUT

Heavy Railgun (save for Phase 3)Impact Blaster (Phase 2 armor break)Stasis Net (crowd control Phase 1)Tactical Scanner (reveals weak points)

TIPS

  • ✓Never stay in one position for more than 3 seconds — Edith's sensors trigger an orbital strike on stationary targets.
  • ✓When Diana shouts "I got it", immediately redirect all fire to the highlighted area.
  • ✓Do NOT waste heavy missiles on small drones in Phase 1. Use Grip Gun for haywire bats.
  • ✓Getting hit by a dash attack resets your current hacking puzzle. Time your dodges carefully.
  • ✓Weak points appear on the boss's back after a successful hack — reposition fast and use Grip Gun for chip damage.

The Sentinel

Chapter 2: Cradle's Echo

medium2 phases

MECHANICS

  • ›Core mechanic: Hugh must draw the Sentinel's fire while Diana hacks 3 different terminals around the arena.
  • ›The Sentinel focuses on whoever last attacked it — use this to pull aggro away from Diana.
  • ›Terminal hacking takes time. Keep constant movement to avoid the Sentinel's tracking attacks.

RECOMMENDED LOADOUT

Stasis Net (buy time for Diana)Impact Blaster (burst damage on exposed phases)Decoy Generator (protect Diana during terminal hacks)

TIPS

  • ✓Prioritize protecting Diana over dealing damage. She cannot complete the hacks if she is disrupted.
  • ✓Use the Decoy Generator near each terminal to draw the Sentinel's attention away from Diana.
  • ✓Stasis Net can briefly freeze the Sentinel — use the window to let Diana start the next terminal hack.

The Weaver

Chapter 4: Edas's Shadow

hard3 phases

MECHANICS

  • ›Core mechanic: The Weaver creates multiple identical clones. Only the real one takes damage.
  • ›Use Diana's Scan ability to identify the real Weaver among the illusions.
  • ›Clones attack with full damage — treating a clone as the real one wastes all your ammo.
  • ›The real Weaver changes position between clone waves.

RECOMMENDED LOADOUT

Charge Piercer (long range to hit real Weaver quickly)Stasis Net (freeze clones)Impact Blaster (burst damage once real target is identified)

TIPS

  • ✓Always activate Diana's Scan BEFORE attacking. Never guess which is the real Weaver.
  • ✓Scan reveals a subtle glow difference on the real Weaver. Target that one immediately.
  • ✓Focus-fire the real Weaver the moment it's identified — the scan window is short.
  • ✓Stasis Net on a group of clones buys time for Diana to scan without taking damage.

Edas Core (Final Boss)

Chapter 5: Earthbound Protocol

very-hard4 phases

MECHANICS

  • ›Multi-stage fight combining platforming, hacking, and precision shooting.
  • ›Phase 1: Ground phase — standard hack-and-shoot loop. Establish rhythm.
  • ›Phase 2: Platforming — Edas destabilizes the arena. Use thrusters to reach higher ground.
  • ›Phase 3: Mass Printing — Edas prints a wave of elite enemies. Clear them before re-engaging the core.
  • ›Phase 4: Final core exposed — all mechanics combined. Overdrive Protocol recommended.

RECOMMENDED LOADOUT

Heavy Railgun (save for Phase 4 core)Stasis Net (Phase 3 enemy waves)Impact Blaster (Phase 1 and 2)All Hacking Nodes upgraded

TIPS

  • ✓Save Overdrive Protocol for Phase 4. The window of tripled damage is essential to end the fight.
  • ✓During Phase 2 platforming, prioritize oxygen stations — running out is instant death.
  • ✓Phase 3 enemy waves: use Stasis Net + Multihack combo to clear efficiently without burning Attack Units.
  • ✓The final core weak point is only exposed for ~8 seconds after a successful hack. Have Heavy Railgun ready.

Enemy Weakness Chart

Standard Walker Bot

Standard

Basic armored robot that patrols and engages on sight. Most common enemy type in the lunar facility.

Weakness: Hack to expose internal weak points, then shoot exposed core.
Strategy: Hack first with Diana, then finish with Grip Gun. Do not waste Attack Units on these.

Heavy Armored Stalker

Heavy

High-defense robot with thick plating. Standard gunfire barely scratches it.

Weakness: Multiple hack attempts or heavy weapons after hack.
Strategy: Requires 2+ hacks to fully break armor. Use Charge Piercer after first hack weakens plating.

Aerial Drone / Flying Unit

Aerial

Fast-moving air unit. Hard to hit with standard weapons. Can attack from above.

Weakness: Diana can take direct control of drones via hack.
Strategy: Let Diana hack it — the drone then becomes your ally temporarily and attacks other enemies.

Red Shield Bot

Shielded

Red energy barrier makes it completely immune to all hacking. Cannot be Decoded or Multihacked while shielded.

Weakness: Destroy the red shield with Hugh's weapons first, then hack.
Strategy: Focus fire on the red barrier until it breaks — Impact Blaster is fastest. Only THEN attempt to hack.

Missile Launcher Bot

Ranged

Launches tracking missiles. The missiles home in on your position and are hard to dodge.

Weakness: Diana can hack incoming missiles mid-flight to redirect them back at the source.
Strategy: Hack the bot to stun it. If missiles are already launched, time a Diana hack to redirect them. Return to Sender achievement.

Filament Crawler

Biological-Mechanical

A twisted lunar filament creation resembling a large mechanical insect. Special enemy type created by Edas.

Weakness: Diana hacks the outer shell to expose the vulnerable core.
Strategy: Diana cracks the shell first, THEN Hugh attacks the exposed core. Do not shoot the shell — it absorbs damage.

Stalker Mech

Heavy Elite

High-threat bipedal mech with powerful attacks. One of the most dangerous non-boss enemies.

Weakness: Leg joints are vulnerable — sustained fire on them slows the mech.
Strategy: Focus fire on both leg joints to slow movement first. Then hack torso for full weak point exposure. Stasis Net helps immobilize it.

Anomaly-Class Enemy

Special / Anomaly

Strange-looking enemies including wheel-form and giant baby-faced variants. Unusual attack patterns require specific tactics.

Weakness: Specific spacing and timing — close range is dangerous, mid-range is optimal.
Strategy: Maintain mid-range distance. Time Diana's hacks to the brief moments between anomaly attacks. Do not rush in.
