Fight in the Freezer

Behind the locked warden door lies the preserved brain of an elite, criminal mastermind...who also happens to be a gamer!


[h3]Game, Set, PONG?![/h3]

That’s right! Pong. Hold on (quite literally) for dear life as you engage in the ultimate game of Pong. But this evil warden is neither a former military officer or a crazed gang leader on a menacing truck…This time, it’s someone–NO, something–even more sinister…

The brain of a gaming-obsessed criminal bent on always getting the highest score.

The Coolant Drive keeps the brain from overheating by creating an artificial polar vortex around itself, freezing its surroundings.



It's been said in the previous paragraph, but just in case you didn't already get the idea: If you happen to let go of the chain wall, or if you get hit by the energy ball and don't grab back on to the chain wall, you WILL fall into the bottomless pit below. And you WILL die. And you WILL use up one of Hal's Rests. And you WILL get frustrated being unable to grab back on to the chain wall.

Our intel is a bit dicey, but from what we’ve been able to gather, the Coolant Drive runs on the electrical nerve circuitry from the malevolent gamer’s brain within. While it’s active, the brain will automatically run calculations as it attempts to counter Hal’s returns.


Also, if you couldn’t already tell, you’ll want to enter this fight with your chakram fully upgraded to its maximum three icons in your inventory. With an upgraded chakram, you’ll be able to intercept the Coolant Drive’s serves and returns with a wider range. Use this to your advantage or, you know, just git gud with the normal chakram.

We’d like to point out: If you challenge the Coolant Drive on multiple difficulties, you might wonder if the warden behaves differently depending on that setting. We’ll leave you to make a judgment call on that.

Some of our testers think so. They’re obviously pro gamers, too. All of them. For real, for real.

But we aren’t planning to preserve their brains………yet.


Anyway, we dare you to play this boss fight on Classic difficulty. You’ll have a great time.
