Experiment 83 Boss Guide
ReportedExperiment 83
A lab-numbered horror. Expect something assembled rather than born.
Full game
Lament of the Limbs
Defeat Experiment 83.
Confirmed by trophy list only. The pairing of a clinical designation with "Lament of the Limbs" is unambiguous in tone: this is the plague's manufactory made flesh. One More Level's own Ghostrunner pedigree suggests the fight may lean on verticality, which would make the confirmed Grapple traversal tool part of the encounter rather than just the level.

Threats and how to answer them
Vertical reach
InferenceTell: theorycraft: attacks that cover height as well as distance.
Answer: Use Grapple points to control elevation. Do not fight it on the ground if the arena has levels.
The approach
Before you walk in
- Carry the Musket if the target is large and slow. The publisher's overview specifically contrasts it with the pistol on range and power.
The loop that wins
- Test weak points one at a time and watch the reaction. The game rewards matching the right weapon to the right enemy, per the publisher.
What loses the fight
- Do not fight a multi-limbed boss in a corridor. Move it into open space.
Weaknesses and loadout
What it is weak to
- theorycraft: multi-limbed entities usually expose limb-specific weak points
Suggested loadout
- Melee
- Claymore for high-impact hits on a big target
- Firearm
- Musket for range and power
- Transmutation
- Fire for sustained burn on a target that cannot dodge
- Amber
- Any. Nothing in the confirmed record makes this fight build-dependent.
Rewards
- Lament of the Limbs trophy / achievement
