Pluto's health value varies considerably between difficulty modes. In SO SWEET, it is only 6000. In RECOMMENDED, its health is increased to 20,000, with EXTREME mode going up to 25,000.[1] This is in relation to the player's health of 300, 100 and 40, respectively.[2]
Pluto crushes the player with its arms. This move is only triggered if the player's health is down to one third.
Strategy[]
Pluto uses its heightened sense of hearing to find his prey. Upon finding his prey, it will run into them, crushing them with its mass.[note 1] To avoid it, it is best that you do not run, but instead walk around the crates, confusing it. It is advised that the player keep an eight-meter distance between themselves and Pluto, and avoid sudden sounds and movements when it moves its head restlessly.[note 2]
Although its size portrays it as an impenetrable foe, its head is a noticeable weak spot. Using the Silenced Handgun to make pot-shots at its head will lead to a quick defeat.[note 3]
