Calamari Inkantation - Octo (Inner Agent 3 Fight) - Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion OST [GAMERIP]

Before this game, I used to have this weird habbit where I would just restart a game after I beat it. But when I got to this boss and beat them, I stopped. I never want to go through this hell ever again.

[@Omni-c8d]

I JUST REALIZED, WHAT IF THIS MUSIC WAS PLAYING WHILE AGENT 4 WAS FIGHT DJ OCTAVIO AND AGENT 8 WAS UNDER THE ARENA

[@scrp6638]

In canon, Eight probably saw the toothpick in the locker, passed out from shock and PTSD, and this fight is Eight finally facing her fears and fighting against her inner fears of Agent 3

[@HeyLookItsFNaFb]

Probably, since Cuttlefish did say that Agent 8 and 3 were fighting in the moments before they were taken underground. Dunno how the toothpick relates to the whole thing, unless I'm missing something.

[@septic_cipher]

If you’re struggling with Inner Agent 3, I have some tips; 1. Ink the ground. Controlling the turf is the key part in winning this fight. You always want more turf covered than her. Before going to break IA3’s armor, make sure you have plenty of turf covered. If she steps in your ink, she’ll stagger for a second, giving you more time to attack. 2. The box in the bottom left corner is your friend on the Inkjet and Splashdown phases. 3. On the Bubble and Autobomb Launcher phases, you should charge her- don’t give her time to shoot out so many bubbles and autobombs. That’s all I have, and it’s helped me beat Inner Agent 3 three times.

[@whitebird2379]

I usually hide around the barrel for splashing and redoing the fight i taught myself to charge during the bubble attack. Helped me beat her the second time in a few hours after not touching splatoon for years. Those other stats are lookin tasty though...

[@HeyLookItsFNaFb]

You are a legend, my friend.

[@RandomDude236]

My strat in the first phase was inking the edges of the battlefield while she shot at me, then when she used the inkjet start aimlessly manouvering around the battlefield by using the Swim Jump Ink Swim technique (I just made that up on the spot) where you ink a small line in front of you, swim through it, jump, then while in the air ink another small line and repeat. Do this until you see the area where Inner Agent 3 will land after the ink jet. Keep in mind he usually shoots 6 shots before coming down, and then camp the area (Still using the SJIS technique) until you can't hear any more inkjet noises. IMMEDIATLY start shooting where she will land and then, when she starts avoiding you, just rush her and you should get to the second phase

[@Megagamer-xr7ps]

Dude you are probably a god

[@SethAbercromby]

Agent 3 is also designed to be stronger if she has a clear shot on you. If you're shooting at 3 and force her to act defensively her accuracy becomes extremely poor, allowing you to sidestep her projectiles and control the pace of the fight to some extend. The most important part is to not let yourself get cocky, as she can still toss bombs with uncanny accuracy and will catch you off-balance if you're being careless. If you can get past the tenta missile phase you've already made it past the worst, always prepare an escape vector to get out of the first splashdown zone and remember the rules of engagement during the ink battle.

And when you beat it give them just a golden hair pick. Also the boss never happened, it’s all in your octoling’s mind and they could easily pick up the hair pick but they have to defeat the god within them or else they ditch it.* Nintendo: great idea!

[@SethAbercromby]

Very late to this, but I believe the narrative implication is that this happed during or shortly after the events of Splatoon 1. One of the pages you can collect mentions that octolings who heard the Inkantation broke free from octoling society and became interested in inkling culture. Around the time of the original battle against DJ Octavio Agent 3 and 8 fought, with 8 presumably losing. IA3 is essentially 8 using the experience gained in the subway tunnels, and defeating a severely weakened 3, to essentially work through their trauma. And the fight is so difficult because to 8, Agent 3 is ahead by a near insurmountable gap of skill and ability. And personally, I think the golden hairpin is really cool. It's a small subtle accessory that lets your hair style and clothing choice breathe while serving as a small bragging right, and its primary skill isn't too bad either.

[@jiribassi2558]

Same i also never played the game but this Is just a fire

[@MoriMoon]

Me: - Hears this and gets Vietnam flashbacks about Agent 3-

[@gamerplaysuwu6175]

Despite not playing the splatoon games, this fills me with deep horror

[@potatoescandancetoo611]

I’ve been trying so hard to get the inner agent 3 battle just for the music but I eventually gave up and started listening to it online

[@catguy4996]

D.J Octovio from Splatoon 1 had this exact same theme. He was kinda hard (Look I wasn't very good at Splatoon back then okay)

[@hiimtomas9261]

Same

[@gamertwo6263]

Calamari Inkantation

[@Anaea]

Yeah, but the intro was slightly altered in this fight, due to the fact that there's literally nothing to hijack

[@moddedinkling4168]

This is probably the real reason Agent 3 got promoted to Captain

[@JC_JN4]

Comments: 0% related to the music *100% PTSD*

[@BlueWolfZero]

Wow, I didn’t know Agent 3 could play 3D Touhou.

[@taiyaki_emu]

This comment hits different with Reimu's last spell theme from CtC next to it in my reccomendations. ALSO LET'S GO FELLOW TOUHOU FAN, THIS COMMENT MADE ME LAUGH WAY TOO HARD LOL

[@annemccracken573]

Great music!

[@jaydemlowe]

Considering this is the music they chose for Agent 3’s fight this makes me wonder when this fight had occurred.

[@HeyLookItsFNaFb]

This is basically the Splatoon equivalent of Pokémon Champion Cynthia's theme

[@skit_dubzz]

Oh no… the flashbacks of my Pokémon getting sweeped are returning…

[@pokemonveterank3031]

This is the fight that turned me into an Octoshot main. So many attempts in this fight where it forced me to use it made me a lot more proficient with that weapon type.

[@MxShadow8]

I just defeated her for the first time today, I got the game and the expansion in 2018, but today, October 5th 2022, I feel like it is finally done

[@HeyLookItsFNaFb]

Congrats!

[@MxShadow8]

@@HeyLookItsFNaFb thanks!

[@cettoekko]

its been 3 years and the person who posted this is still hearting comments, nice

[@Retr0Bit64]

*_I had to go through a lot of tutorials, hints and strategies to beat Inner Agent 3. But I finally done it, that was like 1 year ago._*

[@MaroxXIIIproductions]

Lingering Will: I'm the scariest secret boss ever created. Inner Agent 3: That's cute.

[@AV52offical]

The ptsd

[@aidencook5524]

this fight was so fucking fun but now i get flashbacks every time i see an autobomb

[@comadeer]

Ah the theme of fighting the child of a inlking splating and a deathstar

[@Ghoster.Strudel]

This theme is the definition of anxiety

[@renamamiya158]

no its the definition of a master piece

[@memelord691]

Me : inner agent 3 isn't gonna be that hard. Few minutes later Me: Nevermind inner agent 3 is hard like insanely hard.

[@mariaontiveros9866]

Inner agent 3 difficulty is nightmare

[@Light.--]

The flashbacks, the horrors

[@DriverNeku]

Fights been set to veteran difficulty and we get something that's just as valuable as 2 rocks and a watermelon

[@darksyde0418]

Ah yes, The sound of Antagonizing torment

[@oddgorl23]

this is definitely my favourite version of calamari inkantation

[@trashcan7862]

Me:-goes to the locker to beat inner agent 3- Inner Agent 3:I’m about to end this mans whole career.

[@justsushii]

Well your sans *you could easily beat me*

[@thegoldenblob69]

I still hear the splashdown at the beginning

[@Mr.LegoGaming]

Bad memories

[@Dialgapro]

Vietnam flashbacks

[@9w8suxjehsoxjznw]

I swear marie and callie must have back pain from carrying the wiiu

[@michaelestrada1972]

Being called a bot in Splatoon is a compliment

[@Filon73]

I'm happy to say that I've beated Agent 3 in 10 tries, the music was incredible during the fight

[@ermwhatthescallop]

Everytime I hear an auto-bomb, I feel the pain in my hands again...

[@littleguystar]

I remember this being really difficult Then I wanted to show off Splatoon to a friend and did it in 3 attempts

[@tammytheranger7645]

Causing players fear with their themes Volo 🤝 Inner Agent 3

[@thehermit8618]

My good memories of Calamari Inkantation from the first game will forever be marred by the trauma that is inner agent 3

[@ThunderJimmy]

One last fight to finish, started this whole adventure off.

[@phillippeandpheather5379]

"Auto-bomb is bad" Said absolutely no one after this fight.

[@sniachydccxi3177]

Agent 3 is basically Legends Arceus’ Arceus of Splatoon
