Atmos is one of those battles in MIO: Memories In Orbit that appears simple at first but quickly turns chaotic. What starts as a harmless encounter soon tests your ability to avoid attacks and stay focused as the screen fills with motion.
This boss relies heavily on constant repositioning meant to distract you from everything happening at once. Success depends on knowing when to pull back and let the fight slow down on your terms. If previous bosses challenged your pattern recognition skills, Atmos pushes that ability into controlled chaos, demanding you remain calm while everything around you becomes unpredictable.
### How To Defeat Atmos
Start from the Metropolis City Gates Overseer checkpoint and head left. Use the Hairpin tool to parkour upward, then keep moving left until you find a room with a hole in the floor. Drop down, go right, and take the elevator to the Foundations Shafts. From there, continue right, drop into the air shafts, which lead directly into the boss arena.
When the fight begins, Atmos looks like a snowman. Attack it repeatedly to wake up the boss and start the fight.
Atmos moves quickly and combines aggressive tracking with constant projectile attacks. The fight challenges you to track multiple threats on the screen at once, especially as falling icicles punish tunnel vision.
### Boss Moves and How to Avoid Them
| Atmos Move | What It Does | How to Avoid It |
|—————————|—————————————————————-|—————————————————————-|
| Homing Spin | Atmos spins rapidly while floating, homing in on your position. | Dodge to avoid the approach, then quickly move out of its path. |
| Floating Icicle Shot | Fires fast icicles directly at your position while floating. | Dodge the first projectile, then reposition to avoid follow-up shots. |
| Slam Drop With Icicles | Drops straight down at high speed, causing icicles to fall. | Avoid the landing spot and falling icicles, then attack during the brief cooldown afterward. |
| Ground Icicle Fire | Stays on the ground and shoots icicles forward at you. | Jump over the projectiles and attack from above, targeting its head. |
| Dash Attack | Dashes swiftly in your direction across the arena. | Jump over the dash and attack while it recovers. |
| High-Speed Arena Spin | Spins rapidly around the arena, releasing icicles as it moves. | Watch its path closely and avoid both its movement and the falling icicles. |
| Spinning Icicle Ring | Sits in the center and spins slowly, firing icicle projectiles outward. | Stay close and keep hitting its underside to reset your jump, avoiding the projectiles while dealing damage. |
### Tips for Victory
Focus on controlled movement and resist the urge to chase Atmos aggressively across the arena. Many of its attacks combine fast movement with projectile pressure, so prioritizing positioning over damage is crucial.
By learning its recovery windows and knowing when to stay close versus when to retreat, the fight becomes more manageable—even when the screen is filled with ice and chaos. Recognizing when it’s safe to attack and when to back off turns the fight into a test of patience and awareness.
