Senator Muppy Doo is one of the earliest major bosses in High On Life 2, and the fight sets the tone for the game’s unpredictable design. What starts as a standard arena encounter quickly turns into a fourth-wall-breaking battle that moves into the pause menu and beyond.
For players stuck on this fight, this guide explains how to reach the boss, how both phases work, and exactly what to do to finish the encounter.
How to Reach Senator Muppy Doo
Unless the cruise ship route is taken, Senator Muppy Doo is the first proper boss after the tutorial. Reaching him requires progressing through several convention-themed areas.
Players must:
Steal a Catalytic Converter in Downtown City Plaza
Secure parking at ParkingCon by eliminating competitors
Enter PolyCon through the maintenance entrance
Solve the security puzzle using Lugblobs
Defeat Sheath in the convention hall
After Sheath is defeated and becomes a usable weapon, the path continues through MurderCon and eventually HumanCon, where the Senator boss fight begins.
Tip
Sweezy’s time dilation ability can freeze spinning blades at the PolyCon entrance, making that section much safer to navigate.
Phase 1: Tracking the Mini Senator
The first phase takes place in a standard arena, but Senator Muppy Doo rarely stays full-sized. He frequently shrinks himself down, making him difficult to see during the chaos.

The key is not looking directly for the Senator’s body. Instead, players should look for his tiny footsteps moving across the floor. The arena is not large, so circling along the edges while scanning the ground makes it easier to track him.
During this phase:
Clear out minions to reduce visual clutter
Watch closely for moving footsteps
Use special abilities once the Senator is visible
Avoid wasting ammo by firing randomly
Once enough damage is dealt, the Senator drops a Fanny Pack. Picking it up triggers Phase 2.
Phase 2: The Menu Infiltration
Phase 2 completely changes the structure of the fight. Senator Muppy Doo invades the player’s suit systems, forcing the battle into the pause menu.

When the message “Foreign Intruder Detected. Systems Menu Compromised.” appears, players should pause the game.
Inside the menu, the AI companion appears tied up while the Senator escapes into the Inventory tab. From here, the fight becomes a game of tracking shaking menu options.
Players should:
Enter Inventory.
Watch for menu text that shakes, usually with an audio cue.
Select the shaking word to reveal the Senator.
Attack him when he appears.
He will continue jumping between different sections like System, Items, or Shoes. Each time, players must follow the shaking text to continue dealing damage.
Eventually, an error screen appears where the Senator pushes against a settings slider. To counter this, drag the slider away by decreasing it, then increase it again to knock him back.
He then attempts a Factory Reset. When prompted, players should select Confirm to proceed.

Bible Adventures Mini-Game
After the factory reset, the fight shifts into a short Bible Adventures-style mini-game. Players can pick items and collect sheep, but the choices made here do not affect the outcome.
The segment ends automatically after a brief period, regardless of performance.

The final confrontation takes place in a Donkey Kong-inspired mini-game sequence.

The strategy here is straightforward. Players must repeatedly attack using Knifey. There is no complex timing required. Consistent stabbing will quickly drain Senator Muppy Doo’s health bar.
Continue attacking until his health is fully depleted to end the fight.
Why This Boss Fight Stands Out
Senator Muppy Doo’s fight highlights what High On Life 2 does best. It begins as a conventional arena battle but quickly transforms into something experimental, turning the game’s own interface into the battlefield.
Mechanically, the fight is not overly difficult once the player understands what to look for. The challenge comes from recognizing the visual cues, especially the footsteps in Phase 1 and the shaking text in Phase 2.
For players struggling with this boss in High On Life 2, the most important takeaway is simple: stay patient during the arena phase and pay attention to visual signals once the fight moves into the menu.
With that approach, Senator Muppy Doo goes down without much trouble.
