Chapter 3 — Foundry Core (sub-boss)
Cradle Mech Boss Guide
Pragmata Cradle Mech boss fight strategy — every attack pattern, the safest counter, and the rewards you'll walk away with.
Attack patterns
Cradle Mech cycles through 2 core attacks. Read the tell, counter cleanly, and don't rush the punish.
| Attack | Tell | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Bloom | Tanks glow yellow then white | Shoot the tank during the white frame for an instant stagger |
| Stomp Combo | Two-step stomp | Jetpack on the SECOND stomp — first stomp is a feint |
Strategy
- Three Heat Bloom punishes = guaranteed kill before phase 2.
Recommended loadout
Bring the Stagger Cannon as your primary, plus the EMP Launcher if Cradle Mech has any phase or drone mechanic. Spend your lunafilament on the priorities listed in the upgrade route before this fight.
