Posted on 6 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
For those playing through the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch, we have a guide explaining how to defeat the game’s secret postgame boss.
There are two secret bosses newly introduced in the game. One of them becomes available after Chapter 5, while the other becomes available after clearing the Pit of 100 Trials for the very first time. Since these bosses are new to the game, we aren’t spoiling their identities right out the gate. That being said, this guide will contain full spoilers on how to defeat this boss, so you may want to come back later if you’d rather not learn its identity just yet. This particular boss is rather difficult (and takes a long time to get to), so you’ll want to prepare yourself as best you can. Here’s how to defeat the secret postgame boss in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is generally light on brand-new content compared to its original version, but the game actually includes a brand-new secret boss. And spoiler alert: it’s incredibly tough. This boss becomes available after you clear Chapter 5, though we don’t recommend taking the challenge until well after you’ve beaten the game. As this boss is new to the Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, its identity can still be considered a spoiler for those looking to discover this for themselves. If you don’t want to be spoiled, come back later. Otherwise, we’ve prepared a handy list of tips and tricks on how to defeat one of the toughest bosses in the game.
