Hello, and welcome to Titan Tactics, an in-depth look at the villainous henchmen working for the evil Baron in Sparklite, the retro-inspired action adventure coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One & PlayStation 4 on November 14th! Today, we'll be talking about Boris, the menacing miner who will pulverize any boulder, or anyone, in his way.

Boris, with the help of his rock-devouring wrecking ball, has become one of the Baron’s top miners. He’s been tasked with trying to enter the Foothills Vault but, to the Baron’s great disappointment, has so far been unable to break the seal. You could say he’s caught between a rock and a hard place…

A keen scavenger, Boris was born to dig. His latest project, before siding with the nefarious Baron on his quest to drain Geodia of its natural resources, was helping archaeologists search for Founder’s relics in the Shifting Sands, a noble enough cause if ever there was one.

However, eventually he became disgruntled by all the ‘do-gooders’ wanting to protect Geodia and the wildlife found within it. He thought all that nonsense just got in the way of unleashing the relics’ dormant (yet potentially catastrophic) powers, and that the destruction of the land’s natural resources was a small price to pay for this! When the Baron offered him a job leading a crew of gremilns in the mines, he didn’t hesitate and soon got to work…



When you (Ada), meet Boris, watch out for his vacuum! After pulverizing nearby boulders, The Boring Titan uses the Sparklite Combustor’s heat to produce an incredibly strong vacuum. The vacuum sucks up any uncrushed rubble into the titan’s core where it will then be ground to dust. Only objects able to run directly away from the force of the vacuum can avoid the Titan’s clutches. Keep an eye out for his vacuum, and flee as soon as you see it!

That’s all for today’s edition of Titan Tactics, come back next week when we’ll place the spotlight on another one of the Baron’s Titans, and tell you what you need to know to stand a chance when you take them on…
