The Luna Digger might just be my favourite boss in Pragmata , mainly because you'll run into this mega mechanical worm a few times before eventually delving into its nest.

By the time you step into the arena, you've more than had enough of it.

But killing the Luna Digger isn't straightforward, as this beast is a bit gimmicky.

Notably, it's a worm , so it burrows under the ground, and it's not got the usual weak spots that the more humanoid robots do.

I've spent way too much time checking every nook and cranny to find collectibles, and banged my head against walls completing Cabin challenges so that you don't have to.

Well, so that you can do it far easier and quicker using my learnings, at least.

Before heading into the boss fight, I recommend taking a look at your loadout.

You've only got short damage windows, and there's no other enemies, so don't worry about AoE tools.

The Charge Piercer, Photon Laser, Sticky Bombs, and even the Homing Missile are great, and use hacking nodes like Heat or Drain.

And make sure you've levelled up the Auto Hack power for Diana.

Once you're geared up, here's how the fight plays out:
You'll want to continue your strategy of Auto Hacking, filling it full of lead, and taking advantage of any Critical Shots until it's dead.

At which point you'll get the fourth Shelter upgrade, unlocking more upgrades at the Unit Printer and Firmware Updater, as well as the Director board at the Cabin Club.

This board has two Red Gate Keys , so it's worth collecting every Cabin Coin you can get your mitts on.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between.

Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost?

He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years.

At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor.

In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games.

If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
