After the events of Creeper World 2 Platius takes Admiral Abraxis to face the darkness that corrupted the Styglek and created the Nexus, are you ready to face this incedible boss?

If you look up 'awesomeness' in Peter Power's dictionary, this level's picture is next to the definition. I love (HATE) that 100HP drone with the creeper inside. It massacred half my base alone! I really like the concept of using creeper to create monsters and weapons (as is evident from my levels) and I think this an excellent combination of Creeper monster, Phantoms, and evil, EVIL drones. Really keeps you on your toes, especially when you scoll up or down and find half your army destroyed! haha!

So I played this a few times, and I lost everytime. Either because I didn't know what to do, or something happened.
However, it is a good map. And I upvoted it because I like it. Its not your basic Man vs Creeper.

The first time I played this, I found the boss to be quite funny looking. (As in I laughed).

 ;D Yah, the boss is funny until a few minutes in when your entire base is being destroyed! The he starts to look evil! haha!
It found this worked:

I built coils first and kept adding to them until I had 12 or so by about 5 mins. As soon as I had power I built a 2 layer thick shield all the way across above my base. Then I spread blasters under the sheild every 2 squares, starting on the right bc he dumps creeper down there first. I moved 9 launchers above his head and started weakening him and had 6 blasters stopping the creeper coming out of his hand. My base held well until the 100HP drone with creeper snuck past my defenses and blew up half my base! To counter that I put a row of blasters down from the gateway to get the drone. I kept losing launchers bc the boss spawns creeper above and on the sides of him. Eventually I built 2 portals near the head to speed up my packets and then the CRAZY DRONE started moving towards the portal! I had to destroy both of them before the drone snuck through the portal into my base AGAIN! Upgraded weapons to LV2 and then just wore the boss down and won. Another nice surprise was the 20 nullifiers needed to kill the last emitter and gateway! :)

Disliked the unexpected 100 hp drones, the can come anytime and if you didn't saw it coming it could easily destroy a LS or two, especially those fast ones!

Spoiler

I built 5 gateways around the Creeper God and disabled one of them when a drone was heading for it, it would move around the CG until it dies!

apart from that, fun map.
