Surprisingly, however, the player doesn’t need to encounter Mothza Supreme at all. Like most of Bugsnax’s boss battles, Mothza Supreme is hidden at the end of an optional sidequest chain, and players rushing toward the end won’t run into it.

However, just because they can skip it doesn’t mean they should. Some of Bugsnax’s most charming moments are hidden in its sidequests, and the Mothza Supreme battle is one of the game’s more interesting set pieces.
How to Find Mothza Supreme
Mothza Supreme can be found near the end of the game in the Sizzlin Sands area. As players might suspect, they’ll fight it at the large pyramid.
In order to spawn it, however, players need to bring along Cromdo, Bugsnax’s resident shady salesman and Beffica’s nemesis. His sidequest chain involves searching for a treasure map leading to a giant Bugsnak and supposed riches.
It’s split into three parts. The first involves catching a Buffalocust, also in the Sizzlin Sands area. The second part is a minor comedic stealth section in Snaxburg. The final part is the boss battle.
Cromdo will guide the player to the pyramid, and hit a hidden switch on top. A stone pizza cutter will surge from underground, in front of one of the surrounding statues, set it in position to shatter the coffin lying in front.
The player can activate the pizza cutter using Bugsnax’s Snak Grappler, opening the coffin and revealing the Bombino, a pizza roll like bugsnak.
They can then carry it up the pyramid and throw it on the central pedestal, blowing off its stone cap and revealing an intent suited to the player’s Lunchpad. Once they place it, Mothza Supreme arrives, and the fight is on.
How to Defeat Mothza Supreme
Mothza Supreme will circle the pyramid while flying out of reach, occasionally spawning tornadoes. To damage it, players need to knock it to the ground using the Bombinos crawling around the arena.
They just need to grab one, place it on the Lunchpad, and launch it at the Mothza Supreme once it stops moving.
Once hit, Mothza will land, dazed, conveniently in front of one of the pizza cutter statues. The player has a few seconds to equip the Snak Grappler, rush down, and activate the cutter. Do this three times, and Mothza Supreme will shrink to a catchable size.
Bugsnax is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
