'''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.

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, | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
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 or grow 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. | |||
Upon losing half of his health, Reclusa goes | |||
Afterwards, 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 3 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, failure to land the final charged strike before they impact gives an immediate Game Over.{{ref needed}} | |||
