ZumZum is the second boss of Serious Sam 2.

Overview[]

ZumZum is a large hornet-like creature. It is not known if he has any connection to Mental's forces.

Appearances[]

Serious Sam 2[]

The fight starts with Sam under an enormous basket with a minigun in front of him. There are four flower pods in the surrounding area, which ZumZum will use to regenerate health when it goes too low, it is recommended that the player destroys these with the XM214-A Minigun. There are also other large items around the level, which Sam can use to take cover from ZumZum's attacks, however ZumZum Jrs can infiltrate them.

Behavior and skills[]

ZumZum has two attacks: spawning ZumZum Jr.s and shooting projectiles at the player. The projectiles deal quite a lot of damage, but his stinging attack is even deadlier, and will try to sting the player as he charges into them.

Tactics[]

  • As soon as the level starts, grab the minigun, but don't use it yet. ZumZum regenerates by using the four tall flowers on each side of the field, so destroy them before attacking. Shoot him with the minigun until he is dead, while switching to the Double Shotgun to deal with the minions he spawns.
  • The projectiles are fairly easy to evade if you are on the move, but ZumZum Jrs are dangerous and should be immediately destroyed.
  • However, it is likely the player will kill him before he gets a chance to spawn enemies, unless they are playing on high difficulties.
  • In the baby bottle to the left of your spawn point, a Serious Damage power up will spawn eventually. That plus the minigun or Beam Gun will easily obliterate ZumZum.
  • If the player obtained the secret beam gun from Deadwood, they can use it to easily destroy ZumZum, especially if the Beam Gun is dual wielded via the combo weapons system. The weapon deals more damage than its counterparts, the XL-808 Plasma Rifle and minigun, and is also hitscan like the latter.

Trivia[]

  • ZumZum is called "Bumblebee" in the game files.
