Ophion is the final boss of the game, and comes after a very challenging level in the Abyssal Scar. He isn't too hard, as long as you don't stray too far to either side. The purple rings and beams are the real killer, as you can't dodge through them. You can easily get overwhelmed by all the bullets raining down on you, while trying to deal with the purple lasers and rings. Aim for the eyes and it will go down without much trouble!

The Health wasn't dropped by the boss, it's hidden inside one of the stalagmites on the grounds.

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

Ahhhhhhh. Good to know!

[@goose72000]

Thanks dude, just beat it first try. never got the full health drop but did have a Parasite that regained health when low. saved me!....felt so amazing, it was like a 4 hour run that I spent all 30 Ether in! I was all in and just barely beat it!

[@mrFAhR3Nh3iT]

The Level 30 Electropylon Driver with Tendrils is the best weapon. You can make a web of energy from the orbs to Ophion’s eyes and destroy him quickly.

[@kumaralon]

agreed, just beat the boss today with it and was surprised how quickly i beat phase 1 using it

[@neilk]

Yeah, this made it incredibly easy to beat.

[@karl343]

Nice, just about to attempt this boss for the first time, have no heals, but have that gun. 😏

[@alecnguyen838]

Omg bro this man right here thank you for letting me know because I just wiped this boss like nothing

[@josemohinio]

Bro your comment helped me beat him in one try. Legend!!!

[@TheGanem10]

Wow this is actually the only boss I got on the first try thanks to your guide, only really got hit like twice! It also helped that I had the fully auto launcher which did MASSIVE damage and I finished so quick

[@troywilliams9367]

thank you sooo much, this made it much easier for me

[@shiyang5414]

thanks for the guide!!!!! i make it and this time receive heal ball!!! i dont think i can make it without your guide. appreciate for the video

[@ethreix800]

Thanks man

[@seatea3128]

This boss is SO sick! I was smiling the whole time haha

[@junkdnareviews2515]

Man you’ve helped me so much from biome 3 onwards. Just defeated biome 6 boss.

[@salg23]

Thanks for the tips, I beat it on my first ever try. How ironic...game is hard af but final boss is a walk in the park. However, it took me 5 cycles to get to the boss. Last biome is crazy hard, before the boss.

[@joeldawson83]

Biome 5 is wrecking me. So if Biome 6 is harder well then *cracks knuckles* let’s go!!

[@darrencarroll3123]

The damage per hit in biome 6 is insane

[@DCkogsch]

That's funny, I did the biome first try, but the boss wrecked my face.

[@miloikinggaming5380]

Game ez as hell , just die 7 times

[@nemesysxr0163]

Buen video, salúdame 🙏🏻

[@PegasusGaming.07]

Loved all your guides on this fantastic game. All the bosses for me were easier than the toughest mobs in those rounds. Beat Ophion within 3minutez with a level beefed up 30 carbine. Fantastic game. Love your content. Keep it up

[@natonkrush]

thats a great approach to doing guides - be not sure in anything so basically just showing and giving guesses and assumptions. Thanks anyway!

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

The game is procedurally generated. There's only so much you can guarantee in a guide or walkthrough.

[@rickhurricane1]

Thanks man, arse handed to me first time - smashed him second.👍👍

[@wessee427]

bimoe 6 was pretty cool i actually did in 1 run, it was biome 5 that kicked my ass then i realized i just needed the electropylon driver saved my it's fianl run almost like a land mine on steroids , set it up even before eneies spawn and you're golden shoot it anywhere close to an enemy and you won't even get a scratch

[@locdean4348]

Thank you so muchhhh. I already beat this boss after just only Oneee try 😂😂 its ur bigg help cuz u told us how to dodge and explain every skills. Very useful tips. Love this game so much. I have Hollow gun like yours and its super easy with full 200% heathbar. I have 3 good items and 1 additional health in the ground 😂

[@dylansnyder]

I just beat Ophion for the first time with a level 15 Electropylon Driver. Strange how this boss only took me 2 attempts but Phrike wrecked me lmao

[@ALnMO]

Thanks for the video, beat the boss on my second try and only had to pop one health item. Didn’t even need to use my astronaut.

[@guddoguddo]

The carbine is the best weapon for this boss. Just follow the instructions in the video and target one eye at a time, empty one whole clip to one eye usually does it.

[@DaSkarekrow]

I saw that you use a Hollow, and so i went back to look for one.... and all I saw was the Electropylon which I wasnt familiar with it, but I took it, and it was fkn great, it connect all those spots on his body.... got hit only once

[@Plush.Hunter]

Portal Beam is a massive help for this fight. I got to phase 3 first try with it and just died because of severe malfunctions.

[@robk5437]

I don't know what it is about the boss fights in this game but I really enjoyed them. They are super fun and a couple are challenging. The game does have its issues and it's not perfect but damn is it fun to play. When you have those right assets dropping and you're getting the things that you want. The game does make you feel powerful. But you can go through several runs before you find that one run that drops most of what you want. It's worth it to play through those times. I got reset after I beat the piano boss did that happen to you guys?

[@zaltmanbleroze]

Yeah after piano boss fight you restart at biome 4. After you beat the game you can revisit biome 1-3 but I had to refight the boss on the floating platforms in order to go to biome 4-6. But I don't mind this game is crazy intense.

[@sammyttheg412]

@@zaltmanbleroze piano guy is biome 4 boss.

[@nathanieloreilly1208]

Yeah you get reset after fighting Nemesis on the floating platforms, and I was pissed had my integrity maxed out at 300 and then went back to 100 smh

[@SUPERSAMSON357]

Somehow beat him with a level 17 Rotgland Lobber, even though I found higher level weapons along the way. Lobber is the OG!! 😂🙌🏼 Go in with what you’re comfortable using

[@pariahsdead]

Welp😢....gonna go do this now😢....I'm terrified 😅

[@milikitito]

Gracias por las guias de los bosses, la verdad es que este para ser el ultimo me ha comido los .... llevaba el arma de rayos que dispara 5 puas esparcidas por disparo, menos el ultimo ojo en la fase 3 que no lo veia los demas no he tenido ni que pensar xD aunque con otras armas con menos daño de area tiene que ser mas intresante el boss xD

[@RECC3884]

Use the pylon driver easy peasy

[@killerspider2122]

Fr did all the work for me lol

[@BeowulfGaming]

lvl 26 lobber and i killed him without any items on 1st try lol, that weapon is badass! and i suck at the game so much, so thats something :D

[@zackrakotoarivony9916]

Even tho i had 160% of integrity, and the astronaut, i kept dying. Then i watched your video and focused on the blue balls and the eyes and managed to beat it fairly easily in one go with a electropylon driver 25 ! Thanks !

[@zackrakotoarivony9916]

Lol didnt expect this one to be the last boss tho 🤣

[@darthnihilus310]

beat this boss in first try health drop and hollowseeker portal beam is lifesaver

[@dominicchardy8902]

I just beat Ophion and didn't take any damage. The Rotgland Lobber is by far the best weapon to use

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

I call that gone the rotgland lobster lol

[@JustHeretoTrollallday]

yoooooo people hate on that weapon so much but that’s my main too

[@DarnellBarbour]

Worst weapon in the game.

[@nemesysxr0163]

@@SweetJohnnyCage I call that Lobster Scotland Goner Lol

[@Meyna86]

I went into Nemesis with the Hollowseeker and lost 3 times. With the Rotgland lobber got him on the first try, same with the fourth boss. I don't get why it's ranked so low by people. Damage over time and low fire rate allow you to focus more on dodging.

[@cloudbloom]

This boss reminds me of the creepy baby alien hybrid from Alien Resurrection

[@whattheworldsneedswhatneed774]

Ooohhhh now I see why u use that gun it has drones lasers.

[@laserchildren]

Just got to the boss and died and had 2 large health packs that I did not use as was concentrating on everything else :'(

[@runbck5774]

I beat this boss in like 5mins and 1 Medkit and 2 small heals on me, I also had the biggest health bar with lvl 5 Adrin I got hit 3 times in total, definitely wasn’t the hardest boss fight.

[@meelwallace521]

Yeah i beat it first try too, it was fairly easy

[@ammadkhan2352]

The Problem with the weapons is you dont get the weapon of your choice and even if you got it The stats of the weapon are not balances well. Sometime the bonus damage you are looking for is not that powerful. etc

[@DemonSurfer777]

Just did it on my 1st try.. didn't get a health pickup.. only barely made it.. probably one hit away from death.. i had no really good items or any health pickups.. used most of my items getting the key..

[@devaughnshepherd7053]

My weapon of choice was the Electropylon Driver at level 25. It was easier for me because there's less work to do. The weapon damaged all of its eyes and it killed Ophion faster.

[@wishlistdestoroyah8245]

I wanna say that the heal stuffs is from u n not from the boss fight itself......I just finish beat the game for the first time n I didn't get any heal drops at all

[@shiyang5414]

no heal ball while i play T.T

[@joshs2734]

I actually found this to be the easiest boss in the entire game. Idk if it was just because I was so good by that point or what. Manged to beat the game in 14 hours with only 7 deaths, which I think is not too bad. God what a masterpiece this is. It has become one of my favorite games of all time. I can't wait to play through it again and find all the Sunface fragments for the true ending.

[@Jayyrains]

Yeah I wish the bosses in the game were more challenging in general. I only bought returnal because of the amount of comments I’ve seen praising the game for being a difficult masterpiece. I think a lot of those people just don’t have much experience with shooters because it wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. Just finished it and I loved it don’t get me wrong but it was pretty underwhelming

[@beantown4life]

Yeah ok stop lying, you know you died more but hey keep talking.

[@bigmiki2620]

Electropylon is by far *THE BEST* weapon to fight this boss with. Simply reveal the weak parts; shoot them a few times, and focus on dodging the rest of the time. The boss only hit me twice and I killed it in under 2 minutes. Actually very disappointing.

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

I think I just couldn't get used to it. As a former Quake player, I like rockets a little too much haha.

[@bigmiki2620]

@@SweetJohnnyCage That's funny because I hated the rocket launcher and grenade launcher.

[@fpsqt]

I used the Electropylon too, it's insane against tough enemies. Like you, beat this boss in under 2 minutes ... Disappointed ? Nah, it took me about 5 hours to get to it, I just wanted to beat the game by this point. I really don't know if I would try again if I died ...

[@georgewalters3343]

The pylon is probably the best weapon overall, I dont have as much fun with it though usually since like you said you can forget about fighting for a bit and just dodge.

[@afterburned06]

Crap, I'm about to go into this with no heals except for a slow health regenerating parasite.

[@BoTheJo]

F

[@robbycross3265]

How did it go? I'm in the same situation, I have about as much health as he started with. I'm banking on those health drops, been waiting to drop down for about 20 mins lol

[@afterburned06]

@Robby Cross I was actually ok because I didn't realize there was another biome before you fight him and no boss on the 5th biome so I got to pick up some health in the 6th biome. He was actually one of the easier bosses, especially with the pylon driver.

[@BrandonWestfall]

What the hell. He was incredibly easy compared to the rest of the biome. I just killed him without taking a single point of damage.

[@DarnellBarbour]

If I die in Returnal one more time, I'll be Returning the game to GameStop.

The final boss is your lag, wow

[@lonesoldierx94]

I believe you missed a boss? This should be boss #6. Have a walkthrough for the actual 5th boss? From the snowy area. EDIT: Nevermind! Just found out that there wasn't a boss for the 5th biome. I was trying to prep before going into that vault haha. You're videos have helped a lot!

[@valerakarpenko8079]

At this part is a necessary to clear second biome? Because I died at this boss after fifth biome because I didn't know that I need to shoot all this balls. It feels so easy after I find it, but my one hit hp killed me at last wawe)) is there some fast travel to boss on fifth biome?

[@videlectrix-music]

The ice biome? You can come right to abyssal scar from the fourth biome, or, if you want to go to the fifth for some items, you can get to abyssal scar through the whirlpool in the main item room.

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

You don't ever need to clear biomes after you finish them. So if you start back at the Echoing Ruins (biome 4), then you can run straight to the entrance to the Abyssal Scar. I always recommend replaying through biomes, though, as the powerups you get along the way will make the journey easier.

[@valerakarpenko8079]

@@SweetJohnnyCage yes, I beat it yesterday

[@mysteriousman4966]

I have shit malfunctions against this boss I’m screwed.

[@kilroy987]

I went into this blind and didn't figure out until late that I just need to reveal the red nodules to shoot by shooting the energy balls. After that, he went down on my second try. This is a really easy boss, all things considered.

[@TheKevlar4]

Honestly kind of an underwhelming final boss when you consider how great boss 2, 3, and 4 were.

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

I agree. I expected something harder. I wonder if it's just a case of having played the game for so long, so now you're good at it and nothing is standing in your way, or if they made it easier than Hyperion on purpose.

[@engels1978]

Beat it first try! The easiest Boss in whole game! I haven't used even my health vial! However I had Leach Rounds...

[@tyquanwashington.8510]

This boss wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought...or maybe I just got better at the game.

[@klaas6681]

Absolutely hate all the purple circles and lasers this boss spawns. Hate this boss anyway. Some weapons are useless vs it.

[@lonelleverett6731]

The easiest boss, I die at least 4 to 5 time on all the bosses besides this one.

[@BrandonWestfall]

I found him incredibly easy. Didn't take a single point of damage and killed him on my first attempt. The first boss took me two attempts. All other bosses I killed on the first attempt with the 4th being the most difficult for me. I found the enemies in Biome 6 way more difficult than the boss.

[@JABRIEL251]

This boss is honestly the only one I actively hated and it is in the worst biome in the game.

[@georgebeardmore6629]

Wtf was that! such a disappointing end boss :(

[@gakkieNL]

I go crazy watching this, let alone play it. Not for me...
