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.
Appearances[]
They are rare enemies, only appearing in the Tomb stage.
Behavior and skills[]
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 Gun 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, hence the name of this enemy.
- Like Hounds and Red Spinners, the Vertigo is not shown on the Mindmap.
