"An enormous monster lurks down in the muck of the drainage system. The Devourer. It consumes anything - or anyone - it finds. It almost caught me, once. And I swear... it's teeth all the way down."

Devourer is one of four bosses that may appear in the Maintenance System. Upon entering the boss encounter, the screen shakes and Devourer bursts through the left side of the screen.
The boss fight contains two discrete phases. In the first phase, the player cannot damage the boss directly, and must kill the blobs it spews out.
Attack Patterns
Phase One
In the first phase of the fight, the player must destroy a series of eyes that Devourer produces in order to inflict damage.

| Devourer's eyes produce a chaotic flurry of medium-sized bullets, generally fired in groups of four to five.
|
|
| The eyes fire several small bullets above and below them, as well as some toward the player. In addition, they fire two large-sized bullets at angles above and below the center of the arena. At the conclusion of this attack, the Devourer's maw launches several sets of large bullets, many attack angles above and below and one set across the center.

| Devourer fires a blast of blood bullets that covers either the top or bottom of the screen and curves toward the center.

Phase Two
Upon completion of the first phase, the player enters Devourer to attack its heart. The upper and lower parts of the arena are covered in spikes that damage the player if contact is made with them.

| As the heart takes damage, the upper and lower walls begin to move in a wave-like pattern, becoming more extreme in their movement the lower Devourer's health drops.
