How to Conquer Madame Broode in Super Mario Odyssey: A Comprehensive Guide

So, you’re facing off against the formidable Madame Broode and her golden Chain Chomp, Chain Chompikins, in Super Mario Odyssey? This boss battle can be tricky, but with the right strategy, you’ll be sending her packing in no time. Here’s a detailed guide on how to defeat her:

The Core Strategy: Hat-Knock & Capture

The battle against Madame Broode is a multi-stage affair revolving around her pet, Chain Chompikins. Here’s a breakdown of the key steps:

1. The Shielded Chain Chomp: When the battle begins, Chain Chompikins will be surrounded by an energy shield. You need to break this shield. The fastest and most recommended method is to use a Single Junk Bolt. Alternatively, you can use 17 Spammer Shots, but this is much less efficient.

   • Dealing with Digital Enforcers: As you attempt to break the shield, Digital Enforcers will appear to attack you. Dodge their attacks and keep your focus on Chain Chompikins’ shield.

2. The First Hit: Once the shield is down, Chain Chompikins will be vulnerable. Aim for the Chain Chomp. Hit it once to knock off its hat.

3. Dodge and Repeat: After the first hit, Madame Broode will have Chain Chompikins attack you again. Avoid its attacks until it is vulnerable again. Repeat the process. Each hit knocks off one of the hats. You will need to knock off two hats in the initial encounter.

4. The Capture: Once Chain Chompikins is hatless after two hits, you can capture him by throwing your cap.

5. Hurting Madame: After capturing Chain Chomp, quickly move away from Madame Broode. She’ll try to swat at you, but as long as you stay at a distance, you’ll be safe. Then, use the Chain Chomp’s ability by pulling back on the left analog stick and letting go to launch him towards Madame Broode and hurt her.

6. Rinse and Repeat: You will need to hit Madame Broode three times to defeat her. You will repeat the entire process three times. Each time, her darling Chain Chompikins will appear with an additional hat that you must knock off. Use the same strategy of capturing and launching the Chain Chompikins to defeat her. She will eventually tire out and you can extend to slam her in the face.

Mastering the Chain Chomp Capture

The Chain Chomp capture is essential to defeat Madame Broode. Make sure you understand how it works:

• Capturing: Throw your cap at the Chain Chomp when it’s vulnerable (after knocking off its hats).
• Movement: While captured, you control the Chain Chomp’s movement, which is similar to how you move Mario himself.
• Attacking: To attack, pull back on the left analog stick and let go. This will launch the Chain Chomp forward.

By mastering these steps, you can beat Madame Broode!
