Boss battle (spoilers!)

[artemisofephesus]

I feel a bit silly saying this, but I'm really struggling with the boss battle with Mecha-tilda. I clearly didn't bring enough healing items, but I've not really struggled with anything else to date! Can anyone give me some strategy tips?

I also seem to have a potential issue where Logan is running around behind me but not actually engaging in the fight, which is not helping...

I would priortize her jetpack on her back and then her left arm (Right to you). Even with her jetpack disabled she will still twirl in the air and death (you want to dodge it) ray but at that point the idea is to shoot the chest core. I HIGHLY recommend using Howlets Gun for the most part. The other weapon you just got is fun, but Howlets will be better for her. Use the other one for adds (additional enemies that show up).

Assume your help (Logan) does nothing. So if they manage to do something its good, don't rely on them (This is good advice for any game and is likely true).

I struggled a lot, and on my next try I made the newly available weapon of choice upgrade first and I got the kitty duster gear. That combination made my life a lot easier. Also agreeing with the new gun you get plus take enough bullets with you (I switch weapons quite often).

As mentioned above, upgrade your gear and build an updated weapon. Make sure you pack healing food. You can press B at any time to access your bag (which pauses the game) so you can use your healing foods. Keep yourself topped off healthwise. Also, you can bring stat food for more damage. Don't rely on others, they do minimal damage. If it's still not enough try getting more XP in the game to level up higher which gives you more health and damage. Just go out and kill stuff or mine/fish/cut deadwood etc to gain XP for a few days.

Also, check the stats of your house. Are you maxed out on everything? All of the items you place in your home give you bonus attributes. You can click on your wall panel to see what your stats are. Make sure they are at the max. This can greatly increase your health and damage.

You can also upgrade your yard. Each time you buy more property your house level goes up which increases your stats.

I was a good girl and brought a LOT of ammo for the rifle ;-) Also, Catsuit I had on gives an incredible amount of protection. I hardly used any healing at all. I could tank her attacks just fine and shoot at the robot. Dodging and running away from the beam works well, then either melee when it's on the ground or shoot if you got a range weapon. Logan engages only when you also melee, that is sad but true.
