A lot of people have been leaving comments about the final battle in Poptropica Steamworks Island where you must defeat three plant bosses. It’s a very tough boss fight, especially with the last one. Although I covered the boss battle in the complete Steamworks Island walkthrough, I thought I’d put together a more detailed guide for this part since so many people are having trouble with these bosses. I also updated the full Steamworks walkthrough with this information.
The basic moves you need to remember are these: move into position, duck, wait, shoot. Or if you want something easy to remember, stop, drop, and pop. By moving into position, I mean getting close enough to the boss monster that it starts to move its head and gets ready to attack. Next duck down and then wait until he attacks and his head goes back. He’ll be vulnerable for a second or two, so then you just blast him until you see him go Splat! Each boss needs to be hit like this three times. The first boss is easy, but the second and third boss have defenses that you need to take care of while attacking.
Battling the plant monsters is as easy as: stop, drop and pop.
This video goes into great detail on how to do everything in this final battle. If you have trouble with the video, keep on reading below for the written guide.
First Boss
The first boss is easy-peasy. Here’s a chance to practice the basic moves that you’ll need to have down to beat the second and third bosses. Just remember the following.
- Move into position
- Duck and wait
- Shoot!
Hit the boss three times to make him go Splat for good and disappear. Then quickly move on to boss number two.
Duck and wait for the head to snap back and then shoot.
Second Boss
The second boss is a lot like the first one except he shoots seed pods at you. You must shoot these down or they’ll hit you and knock you back. When you hit both, then repeat the basic steps: move into position, duck and wait, and then shoot. Splat this guy three times and move on to boss number three.
Shoot the seed pods that the second boss hurls at you.
Third Boss
The third and final boss is the toughest of all. By now you’ve got the basic rhythm down, but there’s an added complication. Not only does this guy shoot seed pods at you, but he’s protected by powerful bombs that hang on the ceiling above you. If you are hit by one, the explosion will knock you back very far. If you’re not careful, you could get knocked all the way down into the acid below. Ick!
It makes sense to hang back and wait for some of the bombs to drop before you move in for the kill. Once the way is clear, shoot the seed pods he sends at you, then get in and repeat the basic steps. Get into position so that his head starts to move, then duck. Next wait for his head to snap back and then shoot. Hit him three times and it’s all over. You’ll appear back inside the main chamber where the mayor will present you with the Steamworks Island medallion.
Watch out for these plant bombs that go boom!

:’( 
oh my god! I can’t defeat the third boss! IT IS SOOOO HARD!
help!
here’s a tip, that is either something you already know, something, thats on this page, or something thats new to you:
you can shoot the nuts so they dont hit you, i didnt know that until i tried it against the final monster thingy.
the 1st and 2nd monster was easy but the third one is hard i tried like a million times im about ready to give up
I must be a giver-upper.
I’ve tried so many times, I’ve now avoided this island…
The island was totally hard. but its done
I beat it and you didnt
that was a fun quest
that helped me so much!
I finished the island easily without getting in the acid! oh yeah im firing mah toxic at the monster
i did it 2 months ago what i did was once i got there and tried like twenty times i went onto other islands and got experience at playing i finished all the islands in one month by repeating this technique for the hard ones
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FINALLY BEAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE THIS ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This TOTALLY Helped me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its soooooo hard. i mean why do they have to shoot me with seeds and bomb me when there is acid which is about to finish me? the creators made it soooo hard! they r mean!
it was so hard to finish it!!! the written stuff didnt help but the video helped a lot!!!!!
I FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SOOOOOOOOO HARD!!! ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE AND ME ARE THE ALMIGHTY!!!!!!!!!
@Ellen: I know right!? After most of the bombs explode there’s only like thirty seconds for you to beat the third guy. That’s ten seconds for one life.
YESSSSS! I did it! The trick to defeating the third monster is to defeat the second and first as fast as possible, and then get near the third monster and duck when he shoots his head at you.
if u cant get past the first u r a loser.
i got so frustrated,i like got my servant 2 do it for me
im such a loser i still cant beat the first one
omg i just did it was soooo haaaaad i could do boss 1 and 2 but not 3and i was screaming at my little sis whos 6 and pullin my hair out i barley did it in time yay! thx for this chdeat coz the other one didint help;-)
thank you! before your advice i was stuck on the 3rd monster for 2 hours.. but with your advice i did it in the first time! thank you!
Even after doing all this I still get caught by the acid. This boss SUCKS!
in the 3rd one dont wait for all the bombs to explode as that will take time just go away when you see the moving a little
Ohmy! Bashful Boa is a great helper. where is he now? is he still helping with shrink ray island? we need you, Bashful Boa!
I finally finished it just now I was about to give up but the video encouraged me to do it 1 last time and I made it!!!!
Thks for the walkthrough and the video!
I finally completed all the islands!!! (not counting Vampire’s curse because I’m a non-member)
The acid was about to reach me then I shoot!!!
———————————-SUCESS!!!——————————
this really helped me defeat the last monster

ican not believe you have to do all that work for……………………………….JUST A FEW STUPID CREDITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
UGH! SO HARD! TOOK ME FOREVER!!!
I’m STUCK
I’m not sure all this hard work is worth 75 stinkin’ credits!!!
But I will watch the video and try again
P.S. If You are like me and you can’t beat this You shouldn’t worry, It’s one of the hardest poptropica bosses.
P.P.S. Is it just me or does it stink that the creators only give you 75 credits!!!
I hope when They decide to make it 100 again they will give us the credits we would have gotten if it had been 100
so 50 for each island completed since it went to 50.
I FINISHED IT THE FIRST TIME !!!
50!!!!!! JUST FIFTY CREDITS FOR THAT WHOLE GODDAMN WORK!!!!! HUH!!!!!!!!
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!
Some people say they got 100 credits back then, others say they got 75 credits ,and now 50!? That’s really cheap of the Creators, for the end I had to get a friend do it for me!
i just beat the first, second, and third boss!!!
it waz hard and if u dont beat it the first time, TRY AGAIN!!! U WILL GET IT EVENTUALLY!!! it took me 5 times to beat it, ;( so DONT GIVE UP!!!
OK! I gave up on the bosses and left, how do I get back to my blimp???
never mind, VICTORY AT LAST!!!!!! Luv ya !!!!!

thanx’s 
but there is a glitch which happens for a lot of people where you get stuck underneath the monster and you cant get out until he closes his mouth do you know if there is a way to stop this from happening also with mine i have to run into him instead of shooting him or he wont open his mouth any suggestions i can’t get past the last one
