Kwongo is the first boss of Serious Sam 2.

Overview[]

Kwongo is a massive gorilla-like creature. It is not known if Kwongo is native to M'Digbo or if he is affiliated with Mental's forces. After Kwongo stole a piece of the Medallion on the planet M'Digbo, he is then fought by Sam in the center of Ursul after having been summoned by the Simba Shaman.

After Kwongo has been killed, Sam tells the Shaman it will take months to bury him, but he tells Sam not to worry, as he has a plan. In the next cutscene, the whole villagers and Sam can be seen sitting on benches preparing for a large feast, with the remains of Kwongo being roasted over a large fire.

Behavior and skills[]

Kwongo is extremely tough and resilient due to his high health points as well as his massive size. Sam's weapons will barely leave a scratch on him. The only weapon that can deal enough damage to Kwongo is the fireballs fired from the Simba catapults.

At the beginning of the fight, Kwongo will walk towards the theatre where Sam and the Simba's catapults are, destroying some skyscrapers and launching houses at Sam from time to time. Simbas will keep spawning from the doors on the right and on the left and will try to load the four catapults with lava balls.

Some giant Primitives will also be spawned from behind the wall of the theatre and will try to kill the Simbas. There are five machine gun turrets in the rear of the theatre that the player should use both to shoot down houses launched by Kwongo and to protect the Simbas from the Primitives. If the Simbas reach to reload a catapult, it will fire a big lava ball that will deal a lot of damage to Kwongo. If Kwongo arrives close enough to the theatre, he will first crush the whole place with one of his huge fists, destroying all turrets and catapults and killing all the Simbas and Primitives (and greatly damaging Sam unless he's inside a turret), then he will again smash the arena with a fist, or poke Sam with one of his fingers, trying to kill him.

Tactics[]

  • The player must immediately step inside the turrets in front. Once inside, the player should try to kill the Primitives that get launched into the arena, and destroy the houses that Kwongo launches at them.
  • It takes 17 catapult lava balls to kill Kwongo on Normal and Hard difficulties.
  • The turrets are capable of causing damage to Kwongo but generally it's better to let the Simba's catapults do the job.
  • On harder difficulties, it is possible for Kwongo to survive before he gets close enough to destroy the catapults. If this happens, the only things the player has that can do decent damage to him are the Clawdovic and SBC Cannon (if obtained from the basketball secret in Ursul Gardens) or, failing that, the Double Shotgun and RAPTOR Sniper Rifle. However, they will not make it unless he's on very low health and the player picks up the Serious Damage, health, and armor that spawn. So try to let the catapults damage him as much as possible, even by allowing Kwongo to hit the turret to kill the Primitives.
  • To avoid being hit by Kwongo, the player should get very close to the wall in between them and Kwongo so he can't hit them with his fists.

Behind the scenes[]

  • At one point before the final game's release, Kwongo was supposed to have claws.

Trivia[]

  • Kwongo has the 2nd highest points of any boss in the game (the same as Hugo).
  • He is also the second largest enemy in the game after the Mental Institution.
