BIG Big Run - TRIUMVIRATE defeated - Eeltail Alley

"And I thought you folks were spineless!.. Well I guess technically you are!" Golden line from Mr. Grizz.

[@simondomino]

Triumvirate is such a great addition to Salmon Run! It’s the perfect level of complete and utter chaos while still feeling like a fair challenge. This is easily the most fun I’ve had with a Big Run, currently got a 187 high score and am hoping to go even higher and maybe potentially clearing the Triumvirate on Hazard Level MAX!

[@CheWoomy]

It is! I was super excited for it and didn't get disappointed. Love it!

[@kepitingkebakaran]

187??? DAMN 😭😭

[@psiseven]

Fair challenge my ass. Still plenty of fun though

[@13_cmi]

Yeah you get bored off of max hazard don't you? I find salmon run boring now since the rank I'm sitting at is way too easy while max hazard takes too long to get to.

[@Princess_I]

So far, I got Horrorboros down and Cohozuna down. Joe was almost defeated. My team and I quickly realized Joe's attack can completely one shot Horrorboros' bomb, which made him much easier to defeat.

[@blarg6264]

do you mean that joe's biting attack can directly explode the big eel's bomb?

[@Princess_I]

@@blarg6264 Yes. It doesn't matter if you never damage the bomb; Joe always blows up horrorboros's bomb as long as you direct Joe underneath him.

[@Valory2]

Wow that is a super useful tip! Thanks!

[@SnoFitzroy]

One of these days I'll understand the community nicknames for the kings,,,(but seriously, why "Joe"? Like Joe Mama or Joe Biden? I can't think of any other Joes it could be referencing)

I really hope we'll still be able to fight the Triumvirate after this Big Run, maybe on random weapon rotations or something

[@CheWoomy]

I really do hope so too. They are tough to fight, but super fun. The patchnotes sounded they will appear after Big Big Run too - but I guess only on certain kind of rotations like Golden Rotation or full mystery rotation with also guaranteed all Grizzco weapons.🤔

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

@@CheWoomy Yeah, I really hope that actually does imply that it can happen past Big Big Run and isn't just a translation error

[@splatfan]

@@SomeGalNamedEveThey did say that for regular runs in the future, the triple threat will be part of the rotation when it’s time, so it’s not exclusive to BIG Big Run.

[@CheWoomy]

It was a squad of friends I used to play with - so way easier than Freelance. Took us 3 attempts tho. RNG and Grizz weapons weren't in our favore during the first 2 Triumvirates. 💀 Good luck to you, to defeat them.

[@julianfan5794]

Mr Grizz legit just noting down “not to screw with these inklings/octolings in particular” after your win against the triumvirate

[@fishygaming2554]

It’s probably a good idea to lure joe into horrorboros to save time and resources.

Probably better to lure him towards Cohozuna since Horoborros has an actual weak spot

[@Duckgroot]

Oh my god i would not stand a chance against these foes without being revived 2-3 times, you did amazing!

[@Camphreneas]

Of all the shifts that I had so far, we’ve only managed to beat just Coho down twice, but never reached beating Boris, and Joe (Megalodontia). Out of all of them, Coho’s easy to deal with, and take down faster, considering that they have the least amount of health, and no specific weak points to deal with, like the other two. Joe’s the hardest to take down, not only for having the most health, but also the most difficult to beat in general, because of how much space they take up on the map, making it harder for everyone to focus on where the weak point is. Freelance is even more of a hassle to deal with, considering that there’s a lack of a proper voice chat to coordinate your coworkers to beat them all, and sometimes occasionally running into players who are unskilled, and crew wipes within the first 5 seconds of a shift, or having a DC as soon as the chopper is on screen.

[@LordSteel85]

I just want the badge so bad!!! 😭😭😭 I already tried like 5 times and failed on freelance. The triumvirate badge has to be one of the most badass badges in the game

[@cyber_zenith1501]

An impressive demonstration of skills!!! Is there any tip u could give for triumvirate waves? (Besides using Joe against the other two king salmonids)

[@qmeister8898]

We managed to take down the triumvirate! Me and my team were freaking out as all the kings roared in unison XD

[@CheWoomy]

It is sooooo good. Whoever at Nintendo came up with this is a genius.

[@qmeister8898]

@CheWoomy Yeah! Also hope you've been doing well! Its been so long since I started following advice from ya and learning certain tricks, since 2018 I think! :0

[@capgangchannel6309]

I beat them on the last 2 seconds! Joe was the last one to go down. Super satisfying to actually beat them especially since u get an icon from it.

[@Smasher1]

beat it 3 times (one of them was my first try!), it’s really fun! allthough i haven’t gotten a single gold, only 9 silver and like 100 bronze lol

[@awkward1290]

Tactic I use (thats also sorta shown in the video); try to aim joe towards the other kings, cause apparently his jaw attack can damage the other kings quite well. I love it when you can find some sort of way to get the salmonids to unwillingly attack/kill eachother (ie the Slammin Lid, maybe the Steelhead, etc)

[@twindragonstvab]

Nice job getting to beat the triumvirate. I played in freelance and beat the triumvirate in my 2nd try, although it one of my teammates had a grizzco stringer. My 4th battle of the triumvirate I had won too especially one of my teammates had a grizzco stringer, me and my teammate have grizzco splatana, and one of my teammate had a grizzco slosher. I also had a reef slider too Chewoomy, and we beat it in around 24 seconds left and got 3 gold scales lol. Ps my first match I even made it in gold in freelance. Good thing you get to play with your friends. 😀😀👍👍👍

[@DabinDonut]

I havmt plaued yet, but it looks like borros is gonna be eithr the easiest or the hardest. It'll probably depend on the stage, but with so much going on you can't really focus on borris, so you have to hope joe will end up hitting him

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

The weapons would probably matter more than the stage to be honest, some of the Grizzco weapons are amazing against Borris and some can't even hit him lol

[@CheWoomy]

Both plays imo an important role. The short range weapons or weak ones like Blaster and Brella will make it rather harder. Open maps to have a good overview will also be more of an advantage. 1 better 2 Grizzco charger will help a lot.
