A HUGE WAVE OF ZOMBIES IS APPROACHING!
This subject currently has no proper strategy associated with it. If you have figured out a good strategy, please add it or the zombies will eat your brains!
To start the battle, the player must enter the Boss Gate and travel down the foggy streets into the Shady Gardens, a large circular garden arena. In the center will be a large cluster of blue fungi as well as a Stink Bomb Launcher on the outskirts near where the player enters the arena. The player must then charge up the launcher by filling it with garbage from one of two nearby dumpsters, then standing next to it to make it 'stinky', and finally must fire a stink bomb at the fungi to destroy them and wake up Blight Cap.
At later stages, she can throw a flare into the sky which causes potted Doom-Shrooms to rain down from above near the player.
When Blight Cap loses a quarter of her health, she will sneeze a barrage of spores on herself and the player, making her invulnerable while also disabling her main attacks. Instead, she will ignite and damage the player whenever they are in her line of sight. The player must then avoid her gaze at all costs using the surrounding hedges as cover and collect garbage from nearby bins. After doing so, the player must return to the stink bomb launcher, charge it up again and shoot a stink bomb at Blight Cap, breaking her spore shield and making her vulnerable again. This process must be done again when Blight Cap reaches half health.
Upon defeat, Blight Cap will begin to feel uncomfortable and proceeds to explode, thus ending the 'un-zombie' infection.
Strategy
When playing as a Foot Soldier, use the ZPG ability to target at Blight Cap, that way you'll be dealing a lot of damage to her. Don't forget to jump when she throw a cluster of mushroom caps at you and avoid taking any damage from the explosions of the Doom-Shrooms, otherwise you'll be KO'd for good.

Trivia
Her prefight line, "This. Means. SPORE.", is a reference to the 2012 film This Means War.
She is the only region final boss where the item the player has to assemble (the stink bomb, in this case) is also used in their battle.
Unlike other bosses, there are no achievements for defeating her.
This might be because she was added after all the other bosses, as well as all the achievements.
