Mega Censor

You are my own creation! I command you to stop!

–Sasha Nein

The Mega Censor is the boss fought in Sasha's Shooting Gallery and one of the first bosses introduced in Psychonauts.

Background[]

Mega Censor is the result of Razputin closing up all of Sasha's Censor outlets. Instead of making the censor energy explode and make everything return back to normal, all the censor valves that were shut down produced a build-up of censor energy which in the process made the Censors merge together and create the mega censor.

Appearance[]

Due to being a combination of multiple censors, the mega censor has a notorious mutated looking. Most of its clothing is ripped being the pants the only thing intact and the remains of its business suit has the same color as the shouting censor ones, its legs are not symmetric, one leg is much thicker than the other, the glasses and haircut compared to the regular censors are more tiny and the most evident thing is its hideous, morbid body.

Strategy[]

Those little censors seem to be restoring the big guy's health. You gotta shut down the leaks the little censors are coming out of!

Take the big guy out! Don't forget to hold mental focus while you're blasting! Locking focus on him will also make it easier to circle around and get behind him

In first phase, the Mega Censor will chase Raz around the cube, trying to hit him with its stamp. It's easy to dodge, unless he gets too close (which is why one shouldn't use the PSI-Punch or Palm Bomb). The Censors running around will run into the Mega Censor and heal him. Razputin must close the vents that are releasing the Censors; There are 5 vents. After closing the vents second phase begins, the Mega Censor cannot be healed (unless there are still a few Censors running around), so the player can proceed to take it down. It then starts using a new attack: throwing a fleshy boil of Censors. If the boil hits Raz, it will release more Censors.

Attacks and Health[]

  • Big Stamp: The mega censor will attempt to stamp razputin if he is close to its range. By missing the attack, raz will get pushed back and stunned for a second, however if he gets damaged it with deal 4 hit points (1 whole brain from mental health).
  • Boil of Censors: after taking down all censor outlets Mega Censor from its belly it will occasionally throw fleshy boils towards raz which rolls in a straight line depending to the direction they were thrown. While rolling, those boils can occasionally drop little censors (2 or 3 sometimes) and when hitting raz it can drop more censors dealing 3 hit points of damage in the process.
  • Little Censors: In the first phase of the Mega Censor they will be harmless, since their only objective is healing the big guy. However, when reaching second phase they will attempt to attack raz by stamping him which only deals 1 hit point.

In terms of health, while its giant size and attacks makes it look stronger and even menacing in reality, the mega censor has a very low health. Both PSI-Punch and PSI Blast deal the same damage for this boss, for both abilities in total this boss requires 10 hits (15 if we count the 5 censor outlets).

Trivia[]

  • If Razputin gets crushed by the stamp, Sasha, sticking just next to him, will give him a hint. However, repeating this too much will result in Sasha blurting out nonsense from being hit on the head too many times.
  • When Razputin is hurt by the Mega Censor it leans back and laughs at him.
  • Invisibility seems to be disabled for the boss fight, while the sound effect can be heard, the animation doesn’t show up. This probably was done to not make the boss fight very easy.
