Donut County - Boss Fight Guide
By RitualDeadlyf
WARNING: Spoilers Present

When facing a completely odd level in the game you least expect it to appear, you might be wondering how you are suppose to be going about defeating the boss. Mira says you're going to use the hole after Possum says they don't have the bazooka - giving little to no instructions. "Instructions unclear. Died instead." If you are like me, you probably assumed you are suppose to avoid the bombs. That would be logical, right? Wrong...

There are many videos on it but not really any written guides on Steam for this sole purpose of this level. Let me change that for the future crowd.

This guide contains unrelated content with some kitty pictures at the end. Enjoy!

Introduction
While many of you may not need this guide, I will take the time to create it anyways because let's face it - I'm obviously not doing anything else. There are a few videos on this specific level, and I do recommend watching them if you need a more direct visual approach. However, if you try to avoid YT like the plague, then I hope this guide helps you in some way.

When playing Donut County and coming across this level, I was stumped on what I was suppose to do. Naturally, I'd imagine putting a bomb in the hole where everyone is located would be bad, right? Nope. Thankfully, it's not as complicated as it immediately looks. There will be two rounds of the boss fight and it should average about 4 minutes to complete.


I'm trying something new and it definitely won't be for everyone;
Outside of gaming, I help manage an animal rescue organization. At the end of this guide, meet one of our rescue felines named Akeela. Not interested? No worries. It was placed at the end so not everyone has to look at it. Otherwise, please give her some love. She is our first ever resident that has been here for about a year.
Noted Achievements and Phase One
There are three achievements associated with this stage.

"Game Over"
You will have to lose the boss fight. If this is your first play through and you take damage, you might as well go out with a bang and get this achievement as there is no "in-between" achievement.

"Flawless"
For this achievement, you will have to complete the boss fight without taking damage. If you already taken damage and already have the "Game Over" achievement, restart the stage. Don't make more work for yourself - it's not worth it.

"Dethroner"
After destroying the Quadcopter, you will have the opportunity to destroy the facility along with the statue out front. You should get this achievement without the effort as you have to destroy everything before reaching the next "stage".



After the small dialog of unclear instructions or lack of from Mira, it will be time to face the Trash King's Quadcopter. The first task is to avoid the cement cannon which is easy enough. You won't be working around the cement bricks just yet and just moving your mouse around in a wide circle would suffice. Failure to do so will cause your hole to be filled up and unable to devour the bombs, leading Mira and Possum to lose health. As mentioned prior, "If this is your first play through and you take damage, you might as well go out with a bang and get this ('Game Over') achievement as there is no in-between achievement."

Once you have successfully avoided the cement cannon, the Quadcopter will begin dropping bombs both large and small. You will only be able to swallow the small bombs. Quickly rush over to grab one while avoiding the others. Once you have sucked in 1 small bomb, position yourself under the Quadcopter and use your catapault to launch it up at the Quadcopter. You will have to do this 3 more times before reaching Phase 2.

QUICK TIPS:
  • Keeping your movement fluid when avoiding the cement cannon. Doing wide circles, figure 8's and staying on the outside of the bricks will help. Do not stop moving. Otherwise, the path should be pretty straight forward.
  • The Quadcopter produces a windy or radar-like effect underneath it. Stay in the middle or in range of that area of effect to ensure your bombs will hit. Missing your hit will cause Mira and Possum to lose health.
Phase Two
Well, you tried. Unfortunately for you, the Trash King has that bazooka that Possum seemed to have forgotten. Coincidence? I think not!

When all seemed lost, it turns out BK is not all that bad after all. He resists the temptation of the pickle jar and heads on outside to meet up with the Mira and Possum. BK seemed to have recovered something along the way and leaves it on the ground for you to suck up and launch at the Quadcopter. Be quick or Mira and Possum will loose health. Afterwards, there is nothing Quadcopter can do except throw out a bunch of small bombs and that is your cue to go grab those bad boys, all of them, and throw them up at the Quadcopter. The Quadcopter won't be moving, so you should have no issues landing all your shots.

Congratulations. The Trash King is no more - or so you think. (Better look high in the next stage)
Pick up the destroying pieces of your fight and a giant whirlwind will come spiraling out of the hole. There is nothing left for you to do except what you do best - destroy everything including your relationships. Have you always had a hard time keeping friends? Should really take a different approach... Oh! I'm sorry - I was talking about BK. Didn't mean to make you think I was talking about you. Don't you worry. I'm sure you're a peach to be around.

During this time, you should have earned the "Dethroned" achievement. See that wasn't so bad, now was it? Happy Gaming!
"Akeela" The Rescued Feline Still on the Search
Gosh, how cool would it be to be able to say; "Oh yeah. I found this cat a forever home through playing video game." No one would believe me and not once have I ever heard a story like it. But, it would be a one heck of a asdijopm - Ah jeez. Sorry. Akeela had to type her two cents in...
She's a gamer, too. Check below. She loves playing on the touch screen with the fishes and bugs. Her current high score is 26. Not bad for a cat, right?

Meet "Akeela". She came to our animal rescue last year around June/July with a sibling after their owner was losing a battle to addiction. Both felines were released outdoors to find food and eventually a family member intervened, trapped them and brought them to our animal rescue. Since then, her brother Rylin was re-homed as she sits here waiting for her forever family nearing a year later. It was decided best interest to separate them as Rylin would bully her and steal her food. No one knew it until questions started to rise about why Rylin was getting so big.

"Rylin and Akeela 2023"

This feline is affection, playful and has big-brain thoughts. We're not really sure what she thinks about sometimes but we see the cogs moving, so it has to be something good. In her free time, she enjoys playing in her water bowl, bird hunting (through the window), playing video games and laying on your chest to make sure you are still breathing - or perhaps she's trying to do the opposite. Nah - she's too sweet. Akeela is great with kids and even helps with bed time stories. We're not sure what kind of stories she's telling the kids so - we're not liable if for some reason your children starting talking about mass destruction of birds. She's even great with dogs and cats! Ideally, we would love to see her go into a home with another feline, but we think she would do just fine in a home where the adopter is present more often than a standard working family.
Here she is watching YT of the boss fight. The video is from "Mario plays", which was one of the first videos that came up on the topic.

Akeela turned 1 on August 1st 2023.

The rescue she is located at is in the United States and they do travel out-of-state within reason. Or, you can come to them if you're an approved applicant. Highly recommend checking them out. They focus on animals that are pending horrible fates all over the United States but do make some exceptions like Akeela and Rylin for an example.
