Fatman

Dead Cell explosives expert · Big Shell

Fatman is an explosives specialist with a personal connection to Stillman. His challenge combines bomb disposal with direct combat.

  • Story: His encounter escalates the earlier strut search into a timed arena challenge. The player must divide attention between immediate explosives and the moving opponent.
  • In the game: Prioritise active bombs when the timer demands it, then use safe openings to attack. A damage-only approach fails if the objective’s explosive deadline is ignored.
