Well, it turns out, the LARPers aren't the last group of weirdos in Sunset Overdrive!
For some odd reason, they asked me to recover their figurehead, which, it turns out, is a huge triceratops head. I had to fight some powerful OD for it, but when I got it, I just dropped it on my head as if it was a helmet and ran off to my crew. The best part is that I was able to use the head to gore enemies and charge at them. It also acted as sort of a shield.
With the figurehead recovered, the king decided it was time to take back the dock's amusement park from the scabs, the human enemies. Using the triceratops head as a makeshift battering ram, I had to escort my new friends through multiple barriers and defend the ram from projectiles. When we reached the large roller coaster at the end of the path, the King Scab came out and challenged me. He hopped onto a fire breathing dragon train and rode the roller coaster. This was one of the coolest sections in the game as I used grinds to catch up to him then shot his train to bits, piece by piece. The last train car was reinforced and immune to my weapons, so I went back to my LARPer friends and borrowed the triceratops head. I then rammed the fucker head on and destroyed his train in a fiery, and very satisfying explosion.
The King of the LARPers agreed to finally build my boat, so after completing a few challenges, including pot-smashing with the triceratops head, I went to see my new "water craft", This was a tough mission where I had to defend the boat as it waddled through the city's canals so that I could escape Sunset City for good. Along the way, I could repair the boat by grabbing junk from the streets and throwing it into the engine... Anyway, I encountered a new enemy along the way, some flying OD. These dudes hit real hard and have lots of health. I ended up dealing with them by shooting them with TNTeddys, the grenade launcher equivalent. As we finally escaped the city, the hero decides to go back and save his friends from Fizzco attacks...
I went back to Bryllcream's hideout and saved their ass from Fizzco, then went to see the university kids and did the same there. There was a Fizzco boss, a gigantic tank-type robot, that I took out with a variety of weapons and traps. It was a tough fight, but it wasn't as interesting as the other bosses so far.
Finally, the hero decides that he might as well take down Fizzco for good and save Sunset City in an emotional and funny speech. I tried scoping out their headquarters, but was kidnapped by a bunch of South American ladies with weird face paint and an attitude problem! In a great, self-aware moment, the hero tells the leader that "I'll just do a few errands for you, then you'll like me and help me, trust me, I know how this works.". So anyway, it looks like I'm gonna take out Fizzco soon.
