Some of the NPCs in The Outer Worlds 2 can be killed for either the storyline or because you want their gear or equipment. You will find Brigadier Montelli during The Saboteur of Paradise main quest, but he isn’t just any ordinary NPC. After finding out clues on what’s going on within the Protectorate faction, you will face him for the final battle. If you choose to put your skills to the test against him rather than making him surrender, then keep reading below.
Outer Worlds 2 – Brigadier Montelli Boss Fight Guide

Towards the end of the Saboteur of Paradise quest, you get to head into Brigadier Montelli’s room and challenge him to a duel. Before heading into the fight, use the vendor next to Montelli’s room to stock up on ammo. Also, run back to the docks to heal up, as this will be a pretty tough fight. Then, follow the steps below to defeat Brigadier Montelli.
- The best companions to take for this fight are Valerie, for her healing capabilities, and either Inez or Niles for their offensive capabilities. Also, if you had spoken to Corbin before the fight and convinced him to leave Montelli, he would join in, too.
- Before engaging Montelli, defeat his minions around the arena. They appear near and behind him, and may rejoin the fight midway, so remain vigilant and clear them as needed.
- Once you have him alone, avoid his shock attacks by using the large pillar in the center of the room as a shield.
- Keep an eye on your teammates and revive them whenever they are downed.
- Any Bio-Mass weapon, like the pistol or shotgun, will deal enough damage to bring Montelli down.
- You could also strategically place explosives around the arena and bait him into stepping on them to drastically reduce his health.
- If necessary, climb the platforms above and use the pillars and stair railing as a shield, then attack Montelli from this vantage point.
How to Make Brigadier Montelli Surrender
To make Montelli surrender, raise your speech level above 5 and read all entries on Montelli’s terminal during the quest. Then, choose the indicated dialog options when prompted.
- Crisis? Are you… Auntie’s Choice?
- I don’t think your Sovereign… kind of talk.
- What actions… in your estimation?
- These extreme measures… were they, Montelli?
- Do what you know is right…
Regardless of which route you take, you get to claim the following rewards after completing this section of the quest.
- Chainspark Cannon
- Officer Regalia
- Bit Cartridge x354
- Shock Rod x217
