Strategies

 

 

Strategy 1 (Melee)

Although it is possible to use youe melee attacks to defeat The Golden Rabbit, it is dicouraged. Your melee attacks do not do much damage to the Rabbit. Similar to the other Golden Bosses, it it easiest to hack these enemies.

 

Strategy 2 (Hacking)

Hacking is the easiest, and fastest way to destroy the Rabbit. While melee does very little damage, hacking can end the battle within a few minutes if done properly. You can hide nehind the fountain the Rabbit starts on while hacking. The fountain will block the ranged attacks. While you are hacking, set 2B to 'OP kill everything mode' to deal damage/distract while you are busy hacking. Don't worry, she'll be fine.4

 

 

Attacks

The Golden Rabbit has one attack phase. While it only has two attacks, ranged and melee, you have to be leveled high enough that it won't instantly kill you.

First Phase
Trumpet  The Rabbit will blow into the trumpet shooting the basic ranged attack bubbles like the flying robots. Individually they don't cause a lot of damage, provided you are leveled high enough.
Trumpet Sweep (Close Range) If you're too close to the Rabbit, he will use his trupmet as a melee weapon. This attack will cause consicerably more damage than the ranged attack.

 

 

Notes & Trivia

  • Similar to the three other Golden robot battles, it's quickest and easiest to hack your way through the Rabbit.
  • You can't hack the rabbit with 9S in person, use another robot to approach the rabbit, then use it to hack the Rabbit.

        On the Notes and Trivia section: 9S can hack the rabbit in person. I one-shot it every time it awakens when I hack it. Either this bit is out-of-date, or it's different per platform. My experience has been on PC, recently too.
