The Luna Digger might just be my favourite boss in Pragmata, mainly because you’ll run into this mega mechanical worm a few times before eventually delving into its nest. By the time you step into the arena, you’ve more than had enough of it.
But killing the Luna Digger isn’t straightforward, as this beast is a bit gimmicky. Notably, it’s a worm, so it burrows under the ground, and it’s not got the usual weak spots that the more humanoid robots do.

I’ve spent way too much time checking every nook and cranny to find collectibles, and banged my head against walls completing Cabin challenges so that you don’t have to. Well, so that you can do it far easier and quicker using my learnings, at least. Make sure to check out my full Pragmata guide after spending 18 hours shepherding my space daughter
How to beat the Luna Digger in Pragmata

Before heading into the boss fight, I recommend taking a look at your loadout. You’ve only got short damage windows, and there’s no other enemies, so don’t worry about AoE tools. The Charge Piercer, Photon Laser, Sticky Bombs, and even the Homing Missile are great, and use hacking nodes like Heat or Drain. And make sure you’ve levelled up the Auto Hack power for Diana.

Once you’re geared up, here’s how the fight plays out:
- During the first phase, the Lunar Digger is only vulnerable in its mouth, which is only visible as it’s burrowing out of the ground or charging towards you. It’s a small window and hard to hit, so save most of your best weapons for later.
- The Luna Digger spends most of the fight underground. Hack it whenever it erupts from the ground and take an opportunity to shoot its mouth to make it vulnerable. This is where the Auto Hack power comes in handy, as you won’t have much time to do it manually. Sticky Bombs can also speed up the hacking process.
- When you deal enough damage, it will be staggered, meaning you can go up to it and perform a devastating Critical Shot.
- Once you get the boss’s health to below 50%, it’ll enter its second phase, where you’ll also be able to damage its body. Continue to hack it and go all out with your best weapons, like the Homing Missile or Charge Piercer.
- During its second phase, the Luna Digger can now shoot missiles, so avoid the red circles on the ground.
- It can also create mini drones on the ground, which will burrow towards you. You can hack these drones to turn them against the boss, dealing 2000 damage each.
You’ll want to continue your strategy of Auto Hacking, filling it full of lead, and taking advantage of any Critical Shots until it’s dead. At which point you’ll get the fourth Shelter upgrade, unlocking more upgrades at the Unit Printer and Firmware Updater, as well as the Director board at the Cabin Club. This board has two Red Gate Keys, so it’s worth collecting every Cabin Coin you can get your mitts on.
