The Vertigo is an enemy that appears in Serious Sam: Tormental.

Overview

The Vertigo is a red creature with one eye, and has two mouths on its sides.

They are rare enemies, only appearing in the Tomb stage.

Attacks

The Vertigo's only attack consists of spinning around and firing three projectiles from its two mouths. It can't move and thus always attacks in the same location.

Tactics

• The Vertigo's projectiles can be avoided by hiding behind cover.
• Despite its large amount of health, the Vertigo is rather easy to kill. The Pistol can deplete its health quickly and the player can avoid its projectiles by strafing.
• Like other large enemies encountered in the game, Vertigos will receive a yellow outline on their body when their health becomes too low. The player can dash into them when they have a yellow outline on their body, which kills them instantly and spawns some pickups.

Trivia

• The name of this enemy is based on a condition where a person has the sensation of moving or of surrounding objects moving when they are not. It often feels like a spinning or swaying movement.
