Khan Maykr - Weakness & Tips

Khan Maykr Is a Shielded Enemy

Khan Maykr is the boss of the Urdak campaign mission. This enemy will have several health bars, each one safeguarded with a shield that you need to destroy first.

Shields Will Recharge If Not Damaged For Awhile

Khan Maykr's shields will start to regenerate if left unchecked for a few seconds. It is recommended that you employ an aggressive play style and attack whenever possible to prevent the boss' shields from fully replenishing.

Weak to Rocket Launcher

Khan Maykr's shields are particularly weak to your Rocket Launcher since it does a ton of damage. Make sure to equip the Lock-On Burst mod to make your rockets home-in on the enemy. This will minimize the risk of missing your attacks!

Blood Punch To Damage

Once the shields are fully depleted, you can close in on Khan Maykr and take out a health bar with a well-placed Blood Punch! By this time, your Blood Punch will be fully-charged thanks to the damage you've been doing to her shields!

Utilize the Super Shotgun to Close the Gap

One way for you to close the gap on the enemy is to use the Super Shotgun's Meat Hook to pull yourself close to Khan Maykr. Once you are close enough, do a Blood Punch to take out one health bar!

Khan Maykr - Attack Patterns & Features

Shoots Out Projectiles

Yellow Projectiles

Khan Maykr will hurl several yellow projectiles at you in quick succession. These projectiles are long and slanted, meaning they have a high chance of hitting you if you stay put. It's recommended to keep moving once she does this to avoid getting hit.

Purple Orb

Khan Maykr will charge this attack briefly before setting it loose against you. Despite this projectile moving slower than the yellow projectiles, it can still deal considerable damage to you. Keep moving and use dashes to avoid this attack!

Use Objects as Cover to Avoid Getting Hit

There are several objects and platforms in the arena which you can use as cover to avoid the projectiles. This is another way of evading the projectiles that Khan Maykr throws at you.

Summons a Pillar of Light

Khan Maykr will summon a pillar of light that will follow you around for a short while. This pillar will leave a trail of fire which can damage you if you get too close. Thankfully, the pillar moves slowly, and can easily be avoided until it disappears.

Summons Maykr Drones

This boss will also occasionally summon Maykr Drones to harass you during the fight. These enemies are not that hard to defeat, but can become a nuisance when there are several in the area at a single time. Dispatch them as soon as you get the chance with a headshot to resupply.

Creates Damage Zones In Later Phases

Damage zones will start to appear on the lower parts of the arena the more damage you deal. These zones glow red, and will slowly eat away at your armor and health when you are on it. Stay clear of these areas, and use the upper levels to move around.
