[@Gabrielxjjskeirhavakwfu]

this has got to be one of the worst designed boss fighst i've ever seen

[@robbyg1232]

the fact his gloves can clip through the cover shows how crappy the design was for the fight.

[@Gabrielxjjskeirhavakwfu]

THIS SHIT IS ALMOST MAKING ME DROP THE GAME

[@archiekurtz787]

if you bring the grenade launcher and swim to the top by the spikes you can shoot his eyes while he is punching you idk what other weapons it would work with

[@drew3399]

He got me at the first half, this video helped lol using the sniper

[@alexander_vos]

Hi Venom, great video.I found your channel a few days ago and I like your content and your voice is just great for the ears. :D As for this fight, I do want to add some insight of my own. ps: below are spoilers for the fight....click for more on your own peril. You can stand under its belly, in the open space while it is punching. You will be safe there. After the charge punch, it will have its gloves down and you have enough time to dive up its eyes and shoot at least once. Dive under him again. Do this 2 or 3 times (I think?) until fase 2. In fase 2, when its doing the tamper tantrum before the charge attack, swim fast with dash to the chain and pull the chain down [b]with dash[/b]. I see in your video you tried to pull down with normal swim, but this will not put the dumbell high enough to have the mantis hit it. Fast/dash swim will do it. After the mantis is stunned, you can probably shoot 3 times before he wakes up again. Rince and repeat.

[@Beeeazybones]

Dude what school did you go to

[@DeezPrecision]

from nearly 200 to nearly 700! killing it! keep it up!

[@Veinti1599]

Thank you so much! I would have never been able to defeat it without you lol

[@ivo001]

Seems like the Vortex Launcher can't damage his eyes. So pick up the weapon that spawns.

[@kostyapisarev3072]

Spend 7 minutes to watch this video before I fight this boss…. Took me 2 minutes first try just shooting the eyes between punches.

[@loijz1740]

I think this is the way easiest. I that moment when he is charging that full power move, you just can grab the handle und pull it down until you are exactly behind the bell. He will be stunned for the time of about 4 hits.

[@Gabrielxjjskeirhavakwfu]

except when dave just decides to pull it slowly and it hits before you get the bell down

[@th9667]

@@Gabrielxjjskeirhavakwfu doesnt happen. U have to press shift while pulling

[@rhanos1234]

Couple tips for this fight. Safe space for this boss, is under his gloves. Not so close he does his body slam, but underneath him. You do not go into this fight unprepared. Have the item that lets you dash for free and and extra air bottle. Best weapon for this fight seems to be the sniper. Be patient, wait for him to give you an opening (mainly the current/bell stun) and get shots off. His massive swing where he lowers his gloves and is mini stunned is also an opening, just be careful to avoid his gloves. His power swing/chain stun is the best time to damage him. Use the scooter to get to the chain, pull down, stun him. Unload your sniper ammo, reload, get to safe spot. Takes a while to beat him, but that's how I did it.

[@mythrion]

while this video does an OK job covering the basics of the fight, I was hoping for better techniques... most of the video footage in this guide is of Dave taking damage not avoiding it. You say stay "low under the glove" then show footage of you not doing that and getting hit.

[@venxm243]

Yes. I also mentioned in the beginning of the video that I did not do well in this fight and learned the mechanics after the fact through a few friends who also beat the game. So sadly. You watch me get beat up, as you can’t go back and fight him again from what I can see.

[@venxm243]

I made sure to mentioned I went in very unprepared and wanted to help others prepare better than I did. I do apologize for the footage of me getting tossed around. I wish I had better and clearer footage of the mechanics.

[@venxm243]

The best techniques are to stay under the gloves. Don’t get hit like I do by going too high up and actually using the chain properly unlike me (I couldn’t seem to pull it down in time. And if you do, you avoid massive hits)

[@alexblurphy5800]

Do you just have to survive the first segment?

[@xwingfirebird1495]

great tutorial ty!

[@venxm243]

Absolutely!! Sorry you watched me get my butt kicked haha but I hope my tips helped

[@SAMTYLER1974]

Personally found this to be fairly easy by equipping a sniper rifle (upgraded if possible) and both the octopus bracelet (allows a short dash) and the octopus weapon charm (+15% gun damage) … … then all you need to do is quickly dash to avoid his punches before a few shots in the eyes and you’ll have finished him off in two or three salvos. You’ve also got two oxygen cans should your health drop too low but only use these if absolutely necessary and, like me, you’ll probably have killed him before such a necessity arises!

[@nhison7525]

OMG the ammo alway land on his back and i got no bullet to fight him 😅

[@neilmcdermid8799]

Thanks for the help. Instant sub :)

[@phuong-nn2on]

why doesnt your video align with what you say... like the frames dont match at all its hard to follow

[@venxm243]

As I explained in the beginning of the video - you can only do this encounter once. And I didn’t understand the fight when I had to do it. I only learned after the fact how to beat him. So. I wanted to explain what I learned to help others. I’m sorry the video doesn’t sync up or follow what I say as most of my other videos do. But I wanted to at least attempt to help with that fight.

[@StofferNO.]

I went for the roof method but yeah i have all the boss cards I love the byeeeee at the end

[@bradserfass4710]

Big thanks!

Could have used that yesterday when I was screaming 😭 and hollering

You’re very welcome

Thanks, this was helpful

Glad it helped

[@iiman1c]

Bro the ammo box keep droping lit on him idk how to get it

[@venxm243]

It can be tricky. It always drops super close. You have to time it almost perfect or you get slapped

[@iiman1c]

@@venxm243 yea i defeated him thx

[@ascarius1282]

Hardest boss

[@venxm243]

There’s another one that is a close second haha but. Wayyyyy further in the game

[@weebcraft6829]

Klaus is a close second if you dont know how to prepare for it or dont have upgraded weapons

[@thundermunker2856]

guys, just grab the *flashing* chain and pull down...

[@gabuvianna]

Thanks! Nice video format, beautiful voice! Cheers form Brazil! Keep up with this good work! You're awesome!

[@venxm243]

Thank you so much!!!

[@seandawg03]

This fight is BUGGED OUT! The chain will not be able to be pulled quickly enough to stun the shrimp. It took me about 4 restarts before the chain actually started pulling at a rate that could stun the shrimp. After that it's one of the easier fights in the game. Just shoot/harpoon in the eyes and swim under his chest to avoid any and all punches. Sorry guys, this one sucks.

[@baphnie]

Bad guide, sorry. Stay under his elbows for swings 1 & 2, then pull the chain as he winds up the big 3rd swing. Easy mechanics poorly hidden.

[@cameron353]

Lovely voice 😍😍

[@cameron353]

Thanks for the help

[@givememyusernameback]

Which menu items would you suggest for end game players that just wanna Jew it up

[@stephanieleigh.design]

Not very useful, just watching someone run into the spikes more than I did.

[@i_am_maco]

The Video Looks Like you dont know what to do...

[@HanSolocambo]

Instead of using a record that shows basically everything one shouldn't do, worst run ever. Rehearse and, while you explain, show us a video of what needs to be done. How can anyone listen to the "I'm gonna tell you how", when all you show is the "what I did and you shouldn't do".

[@venxm243]

Sadly you can’t fight him more than once. Or I would have re done it.

[@venxm243]

So this cannot have “rehearsal”. It’s simply what to do unlike what I did. This fight is a pain, and though I could have restarted the game and done it again, it seemed counter productive to do that. I apologize for the lame video of me getting my butt kicked. Usually I’d just redo it. But you only get one shot at this boss and I downed him. Then learned easier ways to manage it!

[@savarinodragoantonio6505]

bro this fight is extremely easy, the problem is that in this video you didnt pull the lever at the correct speed, mantis does 0 damage and with the dash band (better accesory in the game) it is relatvely easy to dodge the attacks, this video was poorly made, fight took 2 mins or less, did it at first try
