The Mimic Rex Confrontation
Overview
The culminating boss confrontation of Book 3. The Mimic Rex (Level 90 city boss, 23,000+ crawler kills) was destroyed through a combination of Carl's Doomsday Nuke, an accidental teleportation, and the war god Grull's intervention — sponsored by Prince Maestro.

What Happened
Carl obtained the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook (24th Ed.) and used his Escape Plan skill to read hidden instructions for the Doomsday Scenario — a tactical nuclear device. He constructed and detonated it at Station 433.
The explosion disrupted the Mimic Rex but could not kill it — city boss mimics regenerate from severed pieces unless more than 50% of the mass is separated simultaneously.
During the evacuation operation, one of Carl's interdiction portal carts passed through Station 433 at high speed. The cart's portal field swept the Mimic Rex along with it, accidentally teleporting the Mimic to Trainyard E.
Prince Maestro had invoked Grull (war god) via a godly sponsorship contract. Grull appeared in Trainyard E and cleaved the Mimic Rex in half with his axe — separating more than 50% of its mass simultaneously. The severed pieces attacked independently before dying with the main body.
