Here’s how you can take down the Biolizard in Sonic Rumble. This co-op boss is a real standout—it’s tough, but mastering it is one of the best ways to farm resources and climb the ranks. You’ll find it in the rotating “Versus Biolizard” mode, and the skills you learn here will help you with every boss that comes after.
Getting the Basics Down First
Co-op battles work differently than your usual matches. Your rings are your health—you start with 1,000, and if you lose them all, you’re stuck watching until the fight ends. Rings are scattered around the arena, so learn where they spawn to stay alive longer.
Your goal here isn’t just to survive; it’s to contribute. You’re scored on damage, hitting weak points, and supporting your team. That means playing aggressively usually works better than hanging back.
One tricky twist: when the fight starts, your squad gets split up and placed on opposite sides of the arena. You’ll have to work with the teammates you end up with, so stay flexible.
How to Read and Beat the Biolizard’s Moves
The Biolizard has five main attacks. Here’s how you handle each one:
- The Bite & Tail Swipe: He spins, trying to chomp or whip nearby players. These attacks knock you back, so keep your distance from his head and tail. Use the opening to hit the weak points that appear on his body afterward.
- The Body Slam: He jumps up and slams down, creating shockwaves along the ground. Jump over them. If you have an invincibility skill like Guard, you can use it to grab items safely without getting knocked around.
- The Energy Orbs: This is his most dangerous move. He fires waves of dark energy balls. Jump the small ones and weave through gaps in the larger volleys. Timing a Star Attack to stay in the air can let you dodge and deal damage at the same time.
Hit Hard During the “Breaking Point”
After you destroy enough weak points, the Biolizard becomes vulnerable—this is the “Breaking Point” phase. A multiplier pops up showing your bonus damage. This is when you go all in. Unleash your Star Attacks here to maximize your damage.
Your biggest opportunity comes when you attack his Life Support System. Eggs will spawn around him, letting you chain homing attacks upward. Hit the central target at the very top for the most points. Grab any Gold Chests you see on the way up—they give you extra Star Attacks to use before you land.
Ready for the Elite Version?
The Elite Biolizard is on another level. He has double health, faster attacks, and shorter damage windows. His energy orbs come out quicker, and he adds a giant, arena-covering orb that’s nearly impossible to dodge without perfect timing or an invincibility skill.
Many teams fail to beat him in time. To win, you’ll need a coordinated team and near-perfect execution—it’s the ultimate challenge in Sonic Rumble.
Pro Tips to Top the Scoreboard
If you want to consistently land in first place for contributions, you need to think a little differently. Here’s what most casual players miss.
First, prioritize attack frequency over perfection. Hanging near the Biolizard’s legs or the center of his body lets you land quick, repeated hits. You’re also closer to where Star Capsules spawn.
Sure, those big weak points give a nice score bump, but the steady stream of damage from constant attacking often adds up to more in the long run. Plus, you help your team reach the breaking point phase faster.
Always grab the Multi-Star Capsules when you can. These are a hidden gem. When you pick one up and teammates are nearby, they get stars and you get 20 bonus points for each player in range.
This turns helping your team into a direct score boost for you, making these way better than grabbing a star by yourself.
Take smart risks on Gold Chests. It’s random, but sometimes they give you the powerful blue star attacks that hit multiple times. If you’re in a safe moment, go for it—the payoff can be huge for your score.
Use your skills wisely. A movement skill like Air Dash is perfect for recovering after you get knocked back, so you can jump right back into the fight. If you see a hit coming that you can’t dodge, pop an invincibility skill like Guard—it keeps you in place so you don’t miss picking up a star or a capsule. And don’t forget: after you hit a center weak point, use a double jump to reset your momentum and get back down faster.
Oh, and use your stickers and emotes! You can use them three times per match for a little extra score. It’s free points most people ignore.
Why This is a Goldmine for Progress
Honestly, co-op boss battles are one of the best ways to progress, especially if you’re not constantly winning in the competitive ring survival mode.
You might get slightly fewer rank emblems, but the raw score you can get per minute with a decent team is unbeatable. It’s a fantastic way to grind through the leagues and farm for character banners.
The mission rewards are great too—rings, wrenches, skin fragments—all the stuff you need for upgrades. For new players, this mode is a lifesaver. You get guaranteed rewards just for participating, and it’s a much less frustrating way to learn than getting stomped in PvP.
Once you get the rhythm down, the Biolizard goes from being a scary monster to a fun, manageable puzzle. It’s a really unique mix of personal skill and teamwork that you just don’t get in the other modes.
Give This Mode a Real Shot
I get it—a lot of people just jump into co-op, finish their daily mission, and leave. But you’re missing out if you do that. This isn’t just a checkbox; it’s a legit and engaging way to play that’s worth mastering.
I think people sleep on this mode because it feels chaotic at first. New players get overwhelmed, and veterans might think it’s too simple. The truth is in the middle: it’s easy to jump into, but really rewarding to master.
Learning the boss patterns, finding the best spots to stand, hitting those multiplier windows, and working with your team—it has a higher skill ceiling than you’d think. Pulling off a perfect run where everyone clicks is just as satisfying as any competitive win.
My Final Take
The Biolizard fight is co-op at its best. It’s challenging but fair, super rewarding, and honestly stays fun run after run. Beating it teaches you skills you can use on every future boss and sets you up with an efficient way to farm resources.
To win, you need to learn its patterns, hit weak points smartly, go all-in during the breaking point, and support your team with shared stars. The Elite version takes all that and demands absolute perfection—it’s the ultimate test.
Whether you’re here for a high score, for resources, or just for some fun teamwork, this fight has something for you. This guide gives you the foundation, but you’ll master it through practice. Every run teaches you something new about timing or positioning.
So if you’ve been skipping co-op, I’d really recommend giving it a proper try. The Biolizard is waiting to see if you have what it takes, or if you’ll just become another stain on the arena floor.
