Description

The Amalgamation is an enemy that exclusively appears in Polluted Wasteland II. It has a high amount of health and an average speed. It has one ability, when it takes damage, it will spawn up to six Fleshlings. It will also emit blood particles when it spawns a Fleshling. The Amalgamation replaces the Giant Boss in Polluted Wasteland II. The Amalgamation also has the Stun Immunity and Freeze Immunity, which makes stuns only slow it down instead of fully stopping it, prevents it from being knocked back and makes it immune to being frozen or chilled. Its legacy version available in Sandbox only does not have Freeze Immunity.

The Amalgamation used to be spawned by the Nuclear Monster when it used its Nuclear Summon ability. This means it could also appear in Oops! All slimes!, if spawned by the Nuclear Monster. It also could have been spawned by the Mystery Boss before the Halloween 2022 Update.

Appearance

The Amalgamation is a mutated, hulking and faceless humanoid with a waist and lower arms in its rig. It has a light red skin color and black pants. It has a bear trap shackled around its right leg and a larger bear trap fitted around its neck. It has multiple clumps of flesh and smaller humanoids on its torso and arms.

Strategy

• High DPS towers, such as the Ranger, Turret, Golden Minigunner, Accelerator or Engineer are recommended to take down the Amalgamation.
  • Be aware that if the Accelerators locks on to the Amalgamation, the Fleshlings that it spawns will get past the Accelerator. Due to this, placing other towers like the Engineer to kill them is highly recommended while the Accelerators focus on killing the Amalgamation.
• The Commander can be very useful at boosting the firerate of towers, making them deal more damage against the Amalgamation and its Fleshlings.
• Slowdown towers can be useful against this, though it has multiple immunities making it harder to slow down.
  • Freeze and chillness is completely ineffective against it, as it has the Freeze Immunity.
  • Due to its Stun Immunity, it cannot be knocked back and stuns only slow it down instead of stunning it.
  • It also spawns as a Boss enemy when it first spawns, making it immune to even more stalls, such as the DJ Booth, Toxic Gunner, Jester confusion and a stronger immunity to stun slowdown.

Trivia

• The Amalgamation, despite never being intended to appear in a server with more than four players, has MEGA Servers health scaling. It increases its health by 150 for every player after 4 players.
  • This is most likely carried over from the original Amalgamation, which also increased its health by 150.
  • Interestingly, the Amalgamation's Fleshlings, despite being an enemy unique to Polluted Wasteland II have the same health scaling as the Amalgamation. This was also most likely carried over from the original Amalgamation.
• The Commander used to improperly call this enemy a Giant Boss.
  • This is because the Commander's dialogue for Fallen mode was not changed in Polluted Wasteland II before the Halloween 2022 Update.
