Polygon.com • • technology
Key Points:
- In Splatoon Raiders, the Smallfry enemy in Pudyin Den stands out as an exceptionally difficult boss, challenging players even after extensive gameplay.
- Unlike typical Salmonid Dens that require collecting Power Eggs amidst groups of enemies, Pudyin Den tasks players with defeating a single, high-HP Smallfry within a 50-second limit.
- The Smallfry’s erratic movement and high damage output make it especially tough on Ultra Spicy difficulty (Salmonid Level 76), with multiplayer attempts further complicated by its increased HP.
- The fight discourages reliance on gadgets and teamwork, pushing players to develop strategic builds and skills, such as using freezing gadgets combined with high-damage weapons against frozen enemies.
- The challenging encounter has become a popular meme within the Splatoon community, symbolizing the game’s demand for clever problem-solving over brute force.
