Splatoon 3 - Final Boss + Ending

[@hinotoritheobliterator6556]

Okay… so let me get this straight. With the help of a squid, an octopus and a mantra ray, all a part of a singing group, you ride a shark into space, then, with the help of an octopus DJ and a giant salmon, use an oversized vacuum clearer to stop a bear from using a rocket to basically end all life on earth and replace it with new life. *It's beautiful*

The fact Mr. Grizz is still floating about intact in the end credits just provides proof the DLC may expand on this idea.

All Mr. Grizz wanted was for the Earth to be as it used to be: inhabited by mammals.

I am one of those who was disappointed, the whole final act just felt underwhelming :( Don’t get me wrong I loved the campaign and playing through it, reading all the logs in anticipation for the final boss, but the final act kinda made me go “that’s it?” While I like the idea of Mr Grizz being the main antagonist his design kinda threw me off, I was expecting more rugged bear look than what we got which is basically a plush toy, kinda makes the whole thing less serious for me even though it shouldn’t as destroying the whole world is pretty high stakes I love the idea of Octavio helping but he just kind of jumps in last minute after not being seen anywhere throughout the story, I feel if he and cuttlefish were trapped together within those radio call cutscenes we could’ve gotten some really fun dialogue of them butting heads with one another on finding a way to escape while also giving him a more deserving redemption arc Lastly I feel Deep Cut was put to the side tbh, they had some really fun boss fights and the cutscene we had with them in the beginning were fun but I feel this story mode should’ve put focus on them and not the squid sisters so we could get more screen time and know more about their character, basically the same way Pearl and Marina’s characters were much more developed in Octo Expansion I’m hoping the upcoming DLC Story for this game will be better, more on the league of octo expansion or somehow even better 😭

This seems to be truly the end of Splatoon. Even DJ Octavio the main villan in Splatoon helped out to defeat Mr Grizz. It was fun playing this game, especially because at the Boss fight we heard a Calamari Inkingtation remix. Splatoon 3 Wave Goodbye was also a pretty good song too.

Real quick, when grizz says “don’t call it hairmigedon, HR won’t like it” who is part of the HR. I know it’s probably a joke but if his plan was to turn every inkling and octoling into mammals then who else would there be to be HR???

[@absol_lute_zero9083]

Good point with a quick idea to build on that. The Return of the Mammaliens would also indicate the return of humans. Maybe he's referring to how humanity would be understandably upset if they found out in order for them to return, all of the squid/octolings were wiped out.

You know what would be a great final boss for splatoon 4? This: Mr Grizz and Commander Tartar team up and turn the NIHLS statue from Splatoon 2 into a giant robot, steal the great zapfish to power it, and then trudge toward inkopolis, hoping to destroy it Godzilla style. They are also accompanied by an army of octarians that are both fuzzy and sanitized following behind the robot. You have to chase down the giant robot using an upgraded superfast inkjet and fight through the army. Once you reach the statue, the inkjet is destroyed, forcing you to climb the robot (which is covered in traps, enemies, and foreign ink) on your own. then, on top of its head, you battle a robot inkling that has an arm that can transform into all sorts of different types of weapons. After destroying it, you're knocked off the top of the head and the robot is about to crush you under it's foot, but then all the sea creatures of inkopolis come out and start fighting the army as the calamari inkantion begins playing. The same sea creature energy that turned smallfry into hugefry at the end of Splatoon 3 then turns you into a giant equal in size to the Giant robot. You then wrestle it in a one-on-one fight, and finish it off using a giant Booyah bomb charged by the booyahs of all the denizens of Inkopolis that came out to fight the army in an epic finisher.
