[@tex9419]

i think one of the biggest things to note about this boss is that the map can really change how you fight this thing, as on sockeye you can attack it easily from the tower, but on something like spawning grounds there is less high ground, so you have to really maximize your damage whenever he is in reach

[@dr.jotarorobotnick813]

Not to mention that on marooners Bay it just kind of sucks in general because you have enough high ground, but the boss salmons tended to swarm it really quickly, giving you very little room to actually work

[@iot9206]

7:00

[@Cool-Vest_Leo]

Not to mention when it comes at low tide. Then you just don't have any terrain.

[@meltingcornea]

"Watch out gamers, I've done a science." is one of the most iconic catchphrases i've heard

[@Thesupremeone34]

6:19 i didn't know the left basket myth was still kicking around. If you check the overfishing guide written by Marty, this was tested in s3. either basket will always result in the flyfish focusing the nearest player.

[@meganekk0]

as soon as he said that i had to scroll to the comments, i always thought it was the other way around with the right basket being random and the left basket targeting the nearest player. thanks for the info, now i dont have to worry about which side i take out first 😅

[@aidansexton47]

It was a myth? I was gonna say I wasting my time with targeting the left basket, but recently, I forgot about it, and it doesn't really matter as flyfish is still one bomb away from death.

[@Bracketmeister]

I tend to find myself with Golden eggs ready to fire, but I'm no where near the head of Horroboros. I either waste time trying to get to somewhere I can launch an egg at the bomb and trying to get through more salmonids, or waste time waiting for it to get in range of where I am. At least Cohozuna is generally slow and is an easier target.

[@laughingstock7638]

yeah i prefer fighting the cohozuna. this boss is annoying and extremely dependant on your team playing well to actually defeat. if your team refuses to attack the bombs correctly youre screwed. at least the cohozuna just requires aim and shoot money mechanics. much more consistent.

[@TentaCole]

I did NOT know there were so many numbers behind the Horrorboros’ behavior! This’ll help me in the future! Great video. 🙂👍

[@kirishatsu222]

Never defeated it even once. My teammates were quickly got overwhelmed by the enemies.

[@JakoBpyroTech]

A good Science was committed here, thanks for the numbers Vasko.👍 Fun Fact: the player who deals the last point of damage to a King Salmon as they are exploding is the one who gets the power eggs from their defeat. (Either most people don't know or care about this, and I'm fine with that, because I like having bigger power egg scores)

[@meganekk0]

i actually always wondered this! i would even take clips when i beat king salmonids to like study who got the "credit for beating it"

[@CaptainAstronaut]

I'll just buy some Snake Poison, Thanks though

[@laughingstock7638]

i have a skill issue because ive fought this thing maybe 10 times and lost each time. my team is usually allergic to exploding the bombs.

[@strangeworld9376]

1:45 the health mentioned is for hazard level 60% (overachiever rank)or above! at 0% it will have 38,500 HP 10% will be 41,250 20% will be 44,000 30% will be 46,750 40% will be 49,500 And lastly 50% will be 52,250

[@MikeyInsanity]

During the Big Run where it debuted I didn't beat a Horrorboros once. Then during a standard shift I had a Hydra Splatling which I used to attack the bomb and wow, did it go down fast.

[@AlexanderLoaizaGameDev]

Don't forget that it moves on a set path that can possibly be memorized.

[@mateuszmroczkiewicz8789]

After this video i have finally defeated horrorboros

[@chiaradanci6358]

Me Who just saw this notification and haven’t played splatoon 3 in a whileee: what is that?

[@AlwaysOpenUtopia]

I love the animated character you use in your vids :) I beat my first king today! And I also beat another koho afterwards with 1 second left!

[@MM1KYU]

i always struggled with the king salmonoids, especially horrorboros. saw this vid today, had an encounter with horrorboros after, and beat my first king salmonoid using the advice. i focused on hitting the mouth bomb anf boom. wave complete (i had an e-liter 4k)

[@squidsurge71]

Minor correction on the math, but four eggs alone kills the bomb. You only need a few shots if you hit three. The eggs are 800, so 3 of the eggs makes 2400 damage, which is almost the bomb itself. Just wanted to point that out

[@davidplayzgames452]

No

[@2mygreeneyes]

As someone who used to lose all the time to both king salmonids and ever since I hit executive vp win like 4/5 times, I can confidently say having a good team makes or breaks your chances 😂

[@AtomBacon]

I legit did not realize you could shoot the bombs.

[@tuccig9289]

Even though math is literally the only thing you can think about, thanks for the guide lmao. i beat horrorboros for the first time

[@caitlin5965]

ah yes the long awaited video ive been wanting

[@crimsonumbreon4475]

I feel that Cohozuna is the true King Salmonid

[@freaquin]

this should be mandatory grizzco training

[@bowser3017]

I have not watched the video yet, but here are my two reasons for losing: 1. Every second more and more bosses appear and they crush you with their numbers 2. We do not have time to reach Horrorboros. Somehow, if we just look around, he's already on the other side of the map.

[@yinyangyt8749]

For me it is when there are too many bosses around the circle

[@IDislikeHandles]

The title made me think this was going to be demeaning, but it actually was very helpful! I definitely find Horrorboros easier than Cohozuna, and I still learned a few things--I swore the bomb successively got more health, but now that I know it stays the same each bomb, it'll be a lot easier to gauge how close it is to exploding. My friend struggles a lot with Horrorboros, I'm going to send this to them and see if it helps!

[@WarmLillie]

Horroboros… I fail it alot… I didn’t know about it’s weakness and go for it’s mouth. I should’ve gone for the head and I went for the body out of desperation. Noted, Defuse the bomb, it the weak spot. Lillie notes: The boss is big, it will fly around so remember to clean before. Small Area, smaller reach. Sadly the crew I went in with didn’t know anything and was pretty demotivated that day. It doesn’t help I was also at disadvantage by texting to communicate… I’ll go back to being silent and deadly. All I can say…. Know thy self, keep your friends close, know you enemy, and area before you’re toast.

[@FlinnMeister]

Great Video and GGs for playing with me and my sister Noya for that Boris kill!

[@ksjpapermario97]

I know the reason I failed at horrorborse because I wasn't an eggsecutive because yesterday I ranked up to eggsutive and defeated horrorborse for the first time

[@V1G4M1]

So what I‘ve learned today is, I‘m just too bad at salmon run, cuz all these advices are already in my brain x,x

[@luigiscartoons9223]

My teammates just straight up abandoned me when horrorboros arrived. I was left for dead!

[@wesleytucher6332]

I k ow that the boss salmons come out to throw the eggs at the big boss, but I swear there is way to many salmons when trying to fight a big boss. It’s so annoying when some people are trying to deal with the boss salmons, and others trying to deal with lesser salmons, and the big boss salmons just have to much health. So annoying trying to fight them.

[@RyneMcKinney]

I haven't watched your channel in a while and WOW you are growing so freaking quickly...

[@thesandguardianofthesand]

long snake fish go explodey

[@Vicvillon]

you know i never actually thought about learning the bomb timings omg???? silly as this sounds

[@harvetwound1234]

#1 reason: random queue

[@zoesusername]

pov: me enrolling in inkblot art academy and finally getting to my dorm right when the big run starts-

[@koramora]

go after the bombs go after the bombs go after the bombs

[@RemiliasHusband]

Even if you are a godlike SR player it is still a co-op mode, so if you play Freelance and get stuck with shitty teammates (which happens most of the time) you are bound to lose. Also that poem at the end is like something Agent 8 would've wrote

[@totoka-2022]

Bro i didnt even know abt the mouth bombs omg i hope this gets popular and turns into common knowledge HHFHFHFHF

[@FaisalBashir1]

Boris when he spawns: aAAUAAaaAUgH

[@HK_on_YT]

Love the data-based approach!

[@Mintyaxo]

Thx so much this helped a lot 🙂

[@smile_xd0825]

*my teammates* "I thought you have to hit the body"

[@matt2027]

Thanks for this!

[@hoobly2676]

I honestly didn't know about blowing up the bombs thanks.

[@viroszelmire1391]

“Watch out gamers I’ve committed a science” I’m sorry but I’m stealing that one

[@anthonymartinez6875]

I used to be a Factor customer. It is really good...but you will get tired of it after about 4-5 months in. The pancakes, however, I will never get tired of that when it comes up on their random menus.

[@NekoTamer15]

I'm an idiot. I had no idea you could blow up horoboros' bombs. I didn't get Splatoon 3 until 1 year after it released, so I guess I missed the memo.

[@ZyphsPetSpider]

Amazing video

[@muffinstan]

*Main reason you failed horrorboros* you should've gone for the head

[@mex_playzswitchmex6615]

I swear to god this guy is the splatoon version of Albert Einstein

[@XtraScurvyboyo]

I wish I could do some eggstra work waves with vasko the next time there is an eggstra work. I was the mvp for golden eggs and power eggs getting 67 golden eggs and 2547 power eggs on my best run. I still only got top 50. Vasko would prob be better than me but it would be great to have a fantastic teammate like him.

[@julianmenchaca8751]

Every Splatoon Salmon Run Player needs to see this.

[@JarofRabbits]

Is it better to keep resetting level at grizzco for easier runs? (if wanting to collect the grizzco shop items)

[@DrMelonPug]

You overestimate the competency of my freelance players especially on a map like marroners bay

[@bed22222]

I feel like an idiot I didn’t know you could blow up the bombs

[@dudufartta]

0:37 if they're not selling salmonids then im not buyin

[@Quasar_JJ]

This is an amazing video but rn as of making this comment we have 2 brushes and a squeezer and a splatling with horroboros

[@BluVapour]

11 seconds... okay taking notes

[@aSquidMin]

Thats a poem/ something alright

[@TheAceshadow_lugia.]

three reasons why your cant beat Elden ring: 1. Your bad 2. Get good 3. You haven't Subscribes to Vasko Games

[@CloudRunnerRex]

I’m here for the highbrow poetry

[@sonicrunn3r895]

Additionally, just like cohozuna, USE. YOUR. CRAB. Aim for the bomb, shred it and keep damaging the body! Don't let its insane DPS go to waste! At most use a crab bomb or two to destroy a flyfish, otherwise focus your fire!

[@Golddude64]

Thank you! I suck at boss salmonids!

[@NoGoodNameHelpPLZ]

Thanks Mr science

[@lt6500]

I have an exam tomorrow and this is how I'm studying math lol

[@elpatron6801]

Next up: field guide to Joe maw maw

[@user-bb2op9he1x]

you know whats sad? i fought this thing so many times, yet just now i learned that you can blow his bomb

[@starlii10]

4. It's terrifying

[@1800mexicano]

Teammate 1, 2, 3 are pretty big reasons too

[@trickygamer555]

5:11 Shut I'll do it anyway (I'm joking obviously I tried as a sploosh once and it doesn't work well) Thanks for the poem at the end

[@yarasa2k]

7:11 actually 3 eggs and a lil bit of chip damage should be enough. if you throw the 4th egg it just blows up since you do 3200 damage

[@exeledusprince9165]

Reason 1: Solo Queue Teammates. Thats also the other 2 reasons.

[@Razlider]

engaging with this video as much as i can so it can show up in other's recommended, therfore making people educated and hopefully making my life easier when going against this boss ‼

[@RMGA5G]

I played a saved horrorboros run and me and my friend played it and beat noodle giy

[@firecatgaming4280]

What an unfortunate verse

[@Animals_Playz]

Hi vasko when will you do a wooloo or non wooloo verse one?

[@VaskoGames]

Did ya see the Nemona one last week?

[@Animals_Playz]

Yes I did and I got me thinking if I could use fuecoco if I get scarlet or violet

[@gungaloscrungalo8925]

Starts 1:35

[@SawatOfficial]

Not enough time, being bombarded by bosses I haven’t seen the vid yet I’ll edit this if I’m wrong or right I’ve killed a cohozuna before and not a horrorboros but I’ve seen cohozuna once and horroboros 4 times

[@huggetheman5981]

When is the pokemon sword melony run coming

[@scrubdaddy654]

i won on cohozuna ONCE but i have never won horroboros ever (i'm in profreshional +3)

[@nightigal]

I just want to know how to get golden scales because I want that Goldie statuette for my locker but I only 5 gold scales. Yeah long way to go.

[@belltower1894]

High EVP and pure chance. Nothing else really helps since the max is 2% per scale at HLM.

[@sonicrashyugioh]

3 reasons?! Its the same number as your teammates, hmmm. We almost defeat them once.

[@wesleydominic8955]

Meybe if the bom get biger is more damage

[@omega3eddie]

Soo to summarize, Horrorboros is better, no but seriously I find myself more motivated to grind shifts if that’s the boss in rotation 🤣

[@dylankruse7749]

If only freelancers watched these videos

[@hopechr]

Go after the bomb? Where? All I see is horrobelly and flyfish target marks. The bomb is always on the opposite side of the map.

[@Krishavoc14]

Hi Mr games

[@Kyouka-Jirou1]

I've Defeated Him By Luck #1 Terrible Weapons #2 I'm The Only One Who's Carrying The Other 3 Co-workers And #3 Someone Disconnects And There's Only 3 People Left 😢

[@Keychan64]

It's impossible

[@wesleydominic8955]

Also im blow up whit golden eggs also if by me

[@mydeadlyadventuredescanorj9756]

Where the hell is Cohozuna?

[@Vincentvondoom]

Ive only won against a king salmonid once ever. Between them being absurdly tanky and disliking how nintendo operates big run in general, I have lost my love for salmon run.

[@hollynelson2449]

First technically second

[@meretemasdal1000]

Can Lery become champion

[@bbb4YT]

Fun fact: i noticed the explosion of the Horrorboros’ bombs sound is the same whoosh as the original inkstrike

[@Hexenat]

third?

[@Dethneko]

7:00 -- If an egg deals 800 damage, and the booyahboros bomb has 2500 hp, then don't you need only 3 eggs plus a little bit? 4 eggs times 800 damage per egg = 4(800) = 3200 damage total, no extra bit needed.

[@VaskoGames]

yeah its 4 eggs if you use JUST eggs. I don't know why anyone would but felt like it would drive the point home

[@Dethneko]

@@VaskoGames -- But you didn't say "just 4 eggs," you said "4 eggs plus a little." That's what confused me, because if you hit the same borosbomb with 4 eggs you won't need the little bit, because the borosbomb will already be destroyed. So I feel like I'm missing something in the equation.

[@VaskoGames]

@@Dethneko Ooop you're right. Must've misspoken in the video whoops
