The newest game of Tango Gameworks, Hi-Fi Rush, has already become one of the year’s best games. It has an adjective rhythm combat, a funny tone, and an amazing art style. The game has a good variety of enemies and boss fights. Mimosa is one of the bosses you counter later in the game, and here is how to beat her in Hi-Fi Rush.
How to Beat Mimosa in Hi-Fi Rush
You will face Mimosa when she tries to perform in front of thousands of people. It is a glamorous fight and also a tough one. Mimosa’s dress will protect her from most attacks, so you have to deal enough damage to stun her and then deal real damage.
In the first stage of the fight, a series of musical notes will appear around her that will be shot at you. Dodging is the best option, but if you can pull it off, parry them to deal some damage as well.
If you see Mimosa stretching her wings, be prepared for a dash attack in which she will grab and slap you in the face. The other attack she uses is shooting beams from blue light balls. Parrying them is the best option, but if you can find the rhythm, just dodge.
Since Mimosa is mostly up the air during the fight, make sure you use your grapple and also call Peppermint once she’s ready. Once the shield is broken, she will fall down, and that’s your chance to drain her health.
As for the first stage, this is all you have to focus on. Once a third of her health is gone, lights will be turned off, and other robots will also appear. In this stage, it is best to focus on finding Mimosa in darkness and hitting her. As the stage is dark, a light beam will always be on you, so you will see her if you get close.
After dealing some damage, the lights will be back, and then the Vadelay Side-Story attack will start. When she says this, a bunch of robots will appear in two lines that will shoot flames. You can easily dodge them as a flash will appear before they shoot flames. This is the best time to use your grapple and combos on Mimosa.
After the two third of her health is gone, a mini-game will appear that must smash the correct buttons at the right time. After that, the final stage will start, and of course, a new attack.
In this attack, she will put you in a shielded box. There will be two lenses, one on the right and one on the left. Both of them are protected as well. To destroy the protection, use Peppermint for the left and Macaron for the right. Once the protection is cleared, hit them so they will be destroyed.

Meanwhile, a series of red blocks will come towards you that you must jump. Once both lenses are destroyed, the cage will be broken, and you will fight Mimosa like before.
Her attacks will get faster and harder in this part, but nothing new will be added to her combos. Use grapple and Peppermint to deal damage, and once her health is zero, a parrying game will appear. After passing that, Mimosa will be defeated.
