'''Reclusa''' is the overarching antagonist and final boss of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. He is an ancient entity who was responsible for brainwashing [[Cozette]] to become [[Zokket]], and has manipulated the [[Extension Corps]] to resurrect him via separating the islands of [[Concordia]] and rendering its Bonds impossible, enforcing solitude for his own pleasures. His name is a portmanteau of "recluse", a synonym for the term "shut-in", or a person who functions alone and avoids socializing, and "{{wp|Medusa}}", due to his appearance including animated silver cables with red claws on his silver, screen-like head.

==Battle==
===First phase===
Reclusa is fought in four phases. During the first phase of the fight, he continuously flees the Bros. as they ride a plug hot on his heels. Mario and Luigi have to avoid Doom Bloom shots, which they can neutralise by blasting those shots with the opposite element (Mario uses fire while Luigi attacks with ice.). If the Bros. collide with a Doom Bloom, they have to deal with Doom Blooms and Glohm-infected enemies. Eventually, the Bros. will catch up to Reclusa, who will charge up with either fire or ice; Luigi must attack the monster with his ice energy in the former scenario, and Mario must attack with his fireballs in the latter scenario. If the Bros. succeed, they can charge up a Bro Bomb to blast Reclusa and stun him for one turn.  
Reclusa is fought in four phases. During the first phase of the fight, Reclusa is a flying enemy and has 4,812 HP. He continuously flees the Bros. as they ride a plug hot on his heels. Mario and Luigi have to avoid Doom Bloom shots, which they can neutralise by blasting those shots with the opposite element (Mario uses fire while Luigi attacks with ice.). If the Bros. collide with a Doom Bloom, they have to fight it and a Glohm-infected enemy or one of Reclusa's minions. After defeating the enemies, the chase will resume at the point it stopped. If one of the Bros. is KO'd when the enemies are defeated, he will get up with 1 HP.  


Eventually, the Bros. will catch up to Reclusa, who will charge up a fire or ice attack; with the brother of the opposite element having to continuously attack him. If the Bros. succeed, Reclusa will be stunned and they can charge up a Bro Bomb to blast him and make him dizzy for one turn before he flees again, resuming the chase. If the Bros. fail to stun him, Reclusa will attack, either shortly freezing the Bros if ice or stunning the plug if fire. This likely will result in them running into a Doom Bloom. If the Bros. attempt to Bro Bomb Reclusa before stunning him, he will dodge it.
During the second phase of the fight, Mario and Luigi have to deal with four Doom Blooms, one of which captures [[Snoutlet]]. Weeping Reclusa has three attacks. In the first one, he will swing his arms low, followed by some flames creeping in from the same side as the swung arm. If a Bro. jumps onto the swinging arm, he will be carried high and then tossed at the other Bro. and must be caught to avoid damage. Weeping Reclusa's second attack involves a spiked green ball falling at the Bros., who must repel it with a hammer strike; doing so will cause the ball to fly at Weeping Reclusa, stunning him for a few turns. The last one involves Weeping Reclusa firing ice projectiles at the Bros., then he launches a giant fireball which must be countered by both Bros.; doing so will cause it to fly at Weeping Reclusa, also stunning him for a few turns. If he and Mario have freed Snoutlet, Luigi can use his [[Luigi Logic]] skill during this time to have Snoutlet create another plug-like craft to fly into Weeping Reclusa's mouth. However, the Bros. have to avoid Weeping Reclusa's shots and wooden protrusions as they head towards the beast's maw as the fight will repeat from the beginning if the Bros. are hit. When they reach the end, Weeping Reclusa will launch dark energy, which the Bros. must repel with a Bro Bomb. If their Bro Bomb successfully repels the dark energy, the Bros. will enter Weeping Reclusa's maw.


===Second phase===
Reculsa transforms into a spiked ball called Weeping Core. In this state, Reclusa can attack by rolling into the Bros., and must be repelled with hammer strikes. After enough repulsions, he must be repelled by both Bros. His second attack has him extend spikes and spin around, which can change direction and speed; these must be jumped over. He will also analyze moves used against him; two uses of the same move will cause the core to take significantly reduced damage from that attack permanently. After the Weeping Core breaks from enough damage, Reclusa emerges in his normal form from the wreckage to commence the fourth phase of the fight, turning the background red.
During the second phase of the fight, Weeping Reclusa is too large and powerful for Mario and Luigi to attack, and even when they counter him, it does no damage. Instead, Mario and Luigi have to deal with four Doom Blooms, which have captured [[Snoutlet]] and will switch which one has him every few turns. Reclusa has three attacks in this phase and the ground will shake right before he attacks.
*In his first attack, Weeping Reclusa will swing one of his arms low across the arena, which must be jumped over. He will launch away a brother if they are hit by his hand or carry them into the air and throw them back down if they land on it. If one of the Bros. is still standing after the other is thrown, they can catch them, though both will receive damage if they miss. If at least one brother is still standing and neither has been grabbed, Reclusa will repeat the attack.
*In his second attack, Weeping Reclusa will pluck large spiked fruits from his canopy and throw them at Mario and Luigi, which must be repelled with hammer strikes. If a single brother repels a fruit, they will be momentarily stunned. If Reclusa throws a fruit at the middle, it can be repelled by both Bros. back at him, stunning him for multiple turns. If the Bros. fail to repel a fruit, the targeted brother will be launched away and a small rock will fly from the ground at the other brother.
*In his third attack, Weeping Reclusa will conjure and rain four giant ice projectiles down on Mario and Luigi, which must be repelled with hammer strikes. Each time Reclusa uses the attack, he increases the number to six and finally eight. If the Bros. are hit by one of the projectiles, they can be frozen. Reclusa finishes the attack by creating a giant fireball at the Bros. can be repelled by both Bros. back at him by continuously pressing {{button|switch|X}}, stunning him for multiple turns. If even one of the Bros. is frozen, the fireball is impossible to counter as the remaining brother will panic and run in circles.
If the Bros. have freed Snoutlet from the Doom Blooms, Luigi can use his [[Luigi Logic]] skill to have Snoutlet create another plug-like craft to fly into Weeping Reclusa's mouth. However, similar to phase one, the Bros. have to avoid Weeping Reclusa's shots and wooden protrusions as they head towards the beast's maw as the fight will repeat from the beginning if the Bros. are hit. When they reach the end, Weeping Reclusa will launch a massive orb of dark energy, which the Bros. must repel with a Bro Bomb. If their Bro Bomb successfully repels the dark energy, the Bros. will enter Weeping Reclusa's maw and begin the next phase of the fight.


===Third phase===
Reclusa has several attacks during this phase of the fight. In one, he splits into seven copies, some of which flash emblems of the Bros. These copies launch energy bullets at their respective targets, who have to repel these bullets with hammer strikes, the finale involves all remaining copies simultaneously firing a stronger variant of the bullets all at once. Another one of his attacks has him disable one of the Bros (draining his color), so the other Bro. is forced to carry him. The still-active Bro. has to dodge Reclusa's claws and energy blasts in this attack. The barrage is ended by a large fireball being thrown, and the colored Bro. has to use his hammer to repel it. Afterward, the greyed-out Bro. will regain his color, ending the attack.
During the third phase of the fight, Reclusa encases himself in a shell called the Weeping Core, which is a spiked enemy and has 5,100 HP. As the Weeping Core, he can analyze any attack used against him and permanently guard it after the attack is used two times (one time for Green and Red Shell), significantly reducing the damage it does. The Weeping Core has two attacks.
*In his first attack, the Weeping Core rolls at Mario and Luigi with enough force to knock away their hammers when repelled. Because of that, the Bros must repel him one at a time while the other retrieves their hammer, with him getting faster each time he charges. If Mario and Luigi successfully repel him enough times, the Weeping Core will leap into the air at them and must be repelled by both Bros. by continuously pressing {{button|switch|X}}. If either brother fails to repel him, they will be knocked away and the Weeping Core will simply charge at the other once more before ending the attack.
*In his second attack, the Weeping Core shoots out four of his lower spikes and spins in circles, dragging them across the ground, which must be jumped over. Every couple of seconds, the Weeping Core will change the direction and speed he spins, attempting to trip the Bros up.
After the Weeping Core breaks from enough damage, Reclusa emerges from the wreckage to commence the fourth and final phase of the fight, turning the background red.


===Fourth phase===
Upon losing half of his health, Reclusa goes berserk and the background turns dark purple, openly declaring his fury towards the Bros. during his attacks. His bullet attack now spawns 8 clones instead of 7. His disabling attack now has him launch his final fireball from afar, which can turn invisible, shrink, grow or burn just before it reaches the still-active Bro. for the counter. His final attack only used within enraged state has him firing either 4 or 6 energy blast in the order he flashes the Bros' corresponding emblem, all except the last are instantaneous and single target with the finale slowly generating a shockwave for both to jump.
During the fourth phase of the fight, Reclusa is a flying enemy and has 10,000 HP. There are no overarching gimmicks to this phase of the fight and Reclusa has three attacks.
*In his first attack, Reclusa splits into seven copies, then three of them flash M or L emblems. Four random copies will then fire bullets with only those that had the emblem firing directly at the corresponding Bros. who have to repel these bullets with hammer strikes. If their attacks are repelled, the respective copies are destroyed. After the four copies have attacked, all remaining copies (including those whose previous shots were not countered) simultaneously firing a stronger variant of the bullets all at once.
*In his second attack, Reclusa petrifies one of the Bros., forcing the still-active one to carry them as dead weight. If one brother is KO'd, Reclusa will skip this and go right into the attack. In various orders, he will fire four smalls orbs in pairs and swipes with each of his elemental hands, all of which must be jumped over. He finishes the attack by charging up a large dark orb and throwing it at the brother, which must be repelled with a hammer strike, otherwise the disabled Bro. will take massive damage in comparison to the active one. After the attack finishes, the petrified brother will return to normal.
Upon losing half of his health, Reclusa goes [[Fury|berserk]] and the background turns dark purple, with him openly declaring his fury towards the Bros. during his attacks. He gains a new attack and his previous ones become more difficult.
*In his first attack, Reclusa now creates eight copies and they fire five or six shots.
*In his second attack, Reclusa now fires five or six small orbs and swipes three times with his elemental hands. Before throwing his large orb, Reclusa will fly into the air and throw it from afar, giving it the ability to either turn invisible ("Disappear!"), shrink ("Give up!"), or burn and grow ("Burn!").
*In his third attack, only used while enraged, Reclusa teleports behind Mario and Luigi and fires either four or six energy blasts in the order he flashes the Bros' corresponding emblem, all except the last are instantaneous single target with him conjuring a large orb which slowly generates a shockwave where it lands which both Bros. must jump over.
After taking enough damage, Reclusa attempts to send Mario and Luigi to their doom by destroying the floor. In this final leg, both Bros. have to use their hammers to bash at Reclusa's head before they hit the ground since all three are descending rapidly; however, the Bros. must charge Bond power to add more strength. Ten charged hits to Reclusa's head will defeat him once and for all.
