“Hero, please, we need you to stop that monstrosity as soon as possible!”
–Key
The Giant Robosa is the boss of Lavasteam in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. It is a prototype design of a larger, mining Robosa created by Key that Salem activated after the Hero shut down the rest of the Robosa.
Appearance
The Giant Robosa looks like a giant, more complex version of an ordinary Robosa. Instead of having a scoop it has large, powerful hands. It has yellow eyes that could be lights.
The interior of the Giant Robosa is a network of parts, containing "eyes" and even a "heart". When these three components are broken, the Giant Robosa will shut down.
Battle
There are several steps The Hero must complete in order to defeat this boss. The Hero must keep shooting the Giant Robosa's hand once it pounds to the ground. They must keep doing that until it loses much of its health. The Robosa may then back up and try to punch The Hero with its fists. When it does, they must shoot or hit the fist. This process must be repeated until The Hero is sucked inside the robot. There they will find a mechanical eye that shoots out fireballs, aided by a missile launcher. The eye must be destroyed.
Once the eye is defeated, the Giant Robosa will spit The Hero back out. After another round of damaging its hand, it will suck The Hero in again.
A second eye must be then defeated, but this time, there is also a treadmill. The treadmill can be used to dodge missiles. After destroying the second eye, The Hero will be returned to the outside of the Giant Robosa for the last time. Here the hand phase must be repeated.
When the Giant Robosa is defeated, it will suck The Hero in to face the heart. There are two missiles, a moving platform, and a health item. Once the heart is destroyed, The Hero will be spit out for the last time, and the game will show the Giant Robosa sinking into the lava.
