The end boss of the Erchius Mining Facility.

While this boss has very little real changes directly (status immunities mostly,) there are some indirect changes to this fight. Namely, the fact it's fought at tier 3 rather than tier 2 means it has a bit more health and attack power than in vanilla. Also, due to Frackin's damage calculation changes, it can now be damaged and destroyed by means other than the laser, albeit it's still very heavily armored. While using the laser remains the preferable and easier method of destroying it, defeating it without the laser unlocks a special reward room at the end.

It can also be bypassed entirely with the help of a Microsphere, but this will also forfeit the aforementioned bonus loot.
