Major bosses are among the toughest of foes to take down in Mewgenics, and you’ll come across quite a few in the campaign.
Not to be mixed with Area bosses, major bosses (end-of-act bosses or House bosses) are significantly harder to defeat. To do so, you’ll have to understand their attack patterns and weaknesses. This guide will provide you with all the information you need for defeating the Major bosses.

How to defeat all major bosses in Mewgenics (Act 1)
Spinnerette
Spinnerette is the first major boss fight you’ll encounter in the Caves region of the first act. The fight begins with you facing a baby spider. Spinnerette appears once you kill the little one and has 250 HP, 10 ATK, 5 SPD, and 5 LCK.
Whenever you damage Spinnerette, she will spawn spiderlings. Try to destroy the smaller critters, as they will do damage to your cats. Getting caught in her attacks can web your cats; use basic attacks to get free. Hitting her from behind is also dangerous, as she gets an attack and movement buff.
Once her health goes down, Spinnerette will summon Spider Cats. Defeat the Spider Cats first, and you’ll find it easy to take down the larger spider.
Dybbuk
The spirit cat is one of the nastiest enemies to take down, despite having only 85 HP, 5 ATK, 3 SPD, and 5 LCK. Dybbuk always dodges any single-target attacks, swings, or abilities. To harm him, you’ll either have to inflict him with some status that deals damage over time or try out AoE abilities. Attacks that move in a linear path also hit Dybbuk and reduce his health.
An easy strategy is to use cats with AoE abilities. If you use single-target choices, try to cover him from all sides. If he doesn’t have an available tile, his dodge ability will fail. However, going with attacks that are area-based or do damage over time are suitable.
Additionally, he will also possess the cat that lands the final blow. The possessed cat will recover all HP, and you’ll have to capacitate it actually to defeat Dybbuk.
Guillotina
Guillotina is going to be the first House boss that you’ll encounter in the first act. The fight will take place in three parts. During the first part, Guillotina will have 400 HP, 5 ATK, 3 SPD, and 5 LCK. During this phase, Guillotina will try to stomp your cats and damage anyone at close range. Try to bring down her health as much as you can to start the second phase.
In the second phase, her body will have 250 HP, 8 ATK, 1 SPD, and 5 LCK. Her head will have 250 HP, 4 ATK, 5 SPD, and 5 LCK. You can ignore the body and concentrate on her severed head. Attacks include linear patterns that knock you back and do plenty of damage. Once the head is destroyed, the body automatically restores +100 HP.
The final phase is a strange one. The body tries to attach to the head; if that happens, Guillotina will perform Shriek, which inflicts Hex and Poison. It’s a devastating effect, so try to keep the two parts apart. This will divert the attention of your team towards two enemies, but that’s the best way to defeat this House boss.
