Subdue the Refrigerator

Attempt to cleanse the Refrigerator to get pulled into an Astral Plane. On this Astral Plane you will face off against a boss named Former.

Boss: Former

The boss known as Former is a large insect like creature with a big eye. This big eye is the central point for dealing damage. When the eye flips to shoot its large projectiles your thrown objects deal more damage.Use a mix of shooting and throwing to deal 2/3 damage. Once you’ve done this Former will stop shooting projectiles and will instead slam the ground with its limbs. Avoid this by dodging or elevating out of the way. Keep in mind it will leaves holes on the platforms you can fall to your death through. Focus the eye and you will take Former down in no time. For taking down this beast you will unlock the Astral Phenomena trophy.
