A massive fish robot created by Eggman to defeat Sonic, armed with a laser beam and explosives capable of dealing quick and expansive blasts perfectly suited to targeting fast-moving objects.


— Description, Sonic Unleashed (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3)

The Egg Devil Ray (エッグ・デビルレイ Eggu Debirurei?) is a boss that appears in Sonic Unleashed. It is a Devil fish-based robot/mech vehicle created by Dr. Eggman. It was deployed as Eggman's personal guardian of the Gaia Temple in Spagonia to hold off Sonic the Hedgehog while he conducted his operations with Dark Gaia.

Appearance[]

The Egg Devil Ray has a similar appearance to devil fish. It is mostly light-blue with a large number of orange eyes. It has yellow claws and an Egg Mobile located on its head, with the laser cannons act as the Devil Ray's pectoral fins, though it appears differently in each version. In the Wii/PlayStation 2 version, it is so blue it hides Eggman from sight. In the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3, it is transparent, but contains three Little Fighter robots piloting the machine instead of Eggman.

History[]

Sonic Unleashed[]

In the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of Sonic Unleashed, The Egg Devil Ray was specifically created by Dr. Eggman to stop Sonic the Hedgehog. When seeking the Gaia Temple near Spagonia, the Little Fighter brought the Egg Devil Ray along. It ambushed Sonic on a long aqueduct leading to the temple. Nonetheless, the mech ended up getting trashed by the hedgehog.

Battle[]

Wii/PlayStation 2[]

The Egg Devil Ray is the second daytime boss in the Wii/PlayStation 2 version of Sonic Unleashed, and the game's overall third boss. It is fought with Sonic the Hedgehog, but can first be fought after unlocking its Boss Stage in Spagonia's Gaia Gate, which can be done after completing the daytime Acts of Rooftop Run. The boss battle takes place on a looping road near Spagonia.

Boss guide[]

At times during the battle, the camera shifts perspective (3D, 2D, overhead). This change in perspective also results in a change of strategy, as the Egg Devil Ray uses different attacks during these phases.

The Egg Devil Ray starts by shooting a few lasers. Eventually, it will fire all its lasers, then lower its shield. The player must have Sonic either boost or use a Homing Attack after this happens. Then, it will shift to a 2D perspective. The Egg Devil Ray will proceed to fire four lasers, which move in a circular pattern, and another laser that guards the Egg Devil Ray. Sonic must dodge the lasers and use a Homing Attack to damage it. Upon this, the camera will shift back to the 3D perspective. This process must be repeated until the shield is disabled. The camera will shift to an overhead perspective. The Devil Ray uses the same attacks as when it was fought in the 3D perspective, but additionally projects tiny fireballs. The player should jump over them and boost into the Egg Devil Ray when the shield is down. From then on it will shift to a 3D perspective, a 2D perspective, and then an overhead perspective. Each of these strategies must be repeated to beat the Egg Devil Ray.

The time needed to "S" Rank is 3:40. Failure to make that time will yield a "C" Rank. Therefore, no Sun Medal will be awarded.

Boss guide[]

At times during the battle, the camera shifts perspective (3D, 2D, overhead). This change in perspective also results in a change of strategy, as the Egg Devil Ray uses different attacks during these phases.

When the fight begins, the Egg Devil Ray puts up a shield, but the player can still Boost through it until it puts up an electrified shield after damage has been inflicted. It attacks by shooting lasers in various patterns. Respond as necessary. The camera will occasionally change to an overhead perspective, and the Devil Ray will fire small fireballs in various patterns. The player must simply jump over them. Sometimes, the perspective will shift to 2D, and the Egg Devil Ray will release lasers in varying sizes. The player must jump and slide when necessary.
