How do you damage Solus in the last phase?
Can you skip straight to this fight?
Did v1.0 make Solus easier?
Are there adds besides Solus in Space?
What should I configure before Solus?
Solus is the named final boss of Owlboy—confirmed in GameFAQs’ Space chapter and widely referenced as the Floating Tower climax. The fight is less about raw DPS and more about a color-coded relic puzzle repeated under pressure, then a grapple-return finale.
Where Does the Solus Fight Happen?
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Chapter | GameFAQs Space (also called Outer Space) |
| Dungeon alias | Fandom: Floating Tower, entered via Kernelle |
| Enemies before boss | GameFAQs: none—only platforming |
| Party | Otus plus gunners; you swap Twig, Geddy, and Alphonse per relic |

What Is Phase One — the Relic Ring Puzzle?
GameFAQs describes three relics orbiting Solus: blue, green, and red. Recommended order:
- Blue relic — Twig — Spam web shots until it breaks.
- Green relic — Geddy — Switch fast and mash blaster fire.
- Red relic — Alphonse — One shotgun blast usually clears it.
You must strip all three, then the cycle repeats twice more (GameFAQs: three full passes before the true final phase). Between cycles Solus may heal partially—treat each lap as a fresh execution check, not a victory lap.

How Do You Survive the Final Phase?
When the relic loop ends, pink fireballs and faster pressure take over. GameFAQs’ key tech:
- Twig grapple — Hook incoming pink fireballs and push them back into Solus for damage.
- Follow-up DPS — Immediately swap to Geddy and Alphonse for burst damage while Solus is vulnerable.
Swap discipline
Pre-plan your shoulder buttons: fumbling L/R swaps eats the window after a successful grapple return. Practice the Twig → Geddy → Alphonse loop in a save room if your version allows retrying from a checkpoint nearby.
What Should You Do Before Entering Space?

- Finish collectibles — Space is late; if you want Golden disks or trinkets, backtrack before the rocket.
- Platforming patience — GameFAQs warns the rising continent segment is trial-and-error. Short wing flaps plus avoid panic diving (B on Switch drops fast) save more time than rushing.
