Whoever designed the Klaus fight needs to get fired

[MadRooster]

seriously who the ♥♥♥♥ designed this fight?

[FakeCrusader]

What's wrong with it? Apart from the crappy animation, pathing, the boss occupying most of the screen and being able to take 20% of your air just by touching you? Maybe his was "bring your 8 year old to work day" and they gave them the job.

[Heartfire]

The fight really wasn't that bad, just had to learn the pattern. I got it in three tries.

[Roberto]

I managed to get it first try so I'm unsure what people are struggling with. I just had the accessory from the dolphin to move faster and an upgraded underwater rifle, so it wasn't much of a fight. Had to reload my gun once and that was it... that said, I don't think I died on any of the boss fights so I'd say they were well designed, just people go into them without being prepared then blame the game. Though that's nothing new.

[Rogue]

I have a level 2 sniper rifle, the dolphin charm and the gun damage charm and still haven't managed to take him down after maybe 10 tries. He is hard as hell. The hardest thing about him is his maneuverability. If he dashes from far away, you can flank him but if he creeps up close, forget it. Definitely bring an underwater scooter to the fight.

[Skutes]

I barely remember this fight. Snipe, snipe, snipe, snipe, reload, snipe, snipe, done. I think he mighta hit me like twice?

Sniper Rifle is king. If you are in a boss fight and you don't have a sniper rifle then you are in for a challenge (your opinion may vary). I didn't even need to learn a pattern. I dodged and shot. Done. Next.
Big shrimpy boi was the only challenging boss for me. That one I needed to think :)

[La Longue Fourchette]

very surprised that people are having difficulty with this particular boss.
Although the same people calling for dev to be fired over a boss design show their mental age

The thing about a shark, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.

I love how threads like this always turn into a way to flex "I beat this in two minutes blindfolded".

The fight is not so much poorly implemented: this game has a combat system that doesn't belong in 2023 and we all have to work around it. The problem is it happens at a time when, unless you decided to grind early on for certain materials, you simply haven't got the firepower to make even a dent in Klaus.
Pick a weapon: sniper rifle and shotgun work the best. The grenade launcher is doable but not optimal. Start farming for materials to upgrade that weapon to the maximum level. before diving pick the charm increasing dash speed and either the one decreasing damage taken or the one increasing base damage by 10%.
Before heading into the vortex make sure to spend some time opening crates: oxygen cartridges and weapon upgrades are a big bonus, but always remember due to the aforementioned garbage combat system the sharks roaming around at night can really ruin your day.
Of course the sniper rifle allows you to pick Klaus from a long distance: fully upgraded and with the 10% damage charm the fight becomes so much easier. But don't rule out the shotgun since it allows doing Klaus huge damage at short range.

The biggest problem I've found with the combat and Klaus is the rotational speed of the enemy sharks. You think you dodged by an inch when they dive at a downward angle and suddenly they rotate and it you more than once. I honestly just finally got lucky killing Klaus. Getting some oxygen bottles before entering any of the boss fights is something that can help with the frustration but damage, size, and rotational speed are things that drove me nuts about Klaus. I still have no idea how I won when I finally did. It felt like I just brute forced it until I finally dodged enough to kill him (using an only upgraded once rifle was probably not the best idea but I didn't have anything else...)

[Stardog]

My only fully maxed weapons are tranq rifle and net gun, along with lvl 2 rifle or something. Klaus is a maximal pain in the ass, and I hate this fight. He attacks in huge paths and even if you dodge the bite you might get hit by his tail, and since contact damage is exactly the same as getting bit, it's making me seriously want to just rage-quit a game that's supposed to be a relaxing adventure.

If he wasn't so fast to turn around this would be better. As of now, this boss is by far the most infuriating thing I've come across in this game. The shrimp is a close second, but at least his attacks could be avoided.

How are you even able to play??? I can't get off the boat. I'm still at the big blue hole or wtf ever it's called, trying to just DIVE with an annoying, ringing pink arrow and a huge yellow space key that does nothing. Talk about rage-quitting. Can I still call it that if I didn't even get to play? I should have known when it took forever to install and download; that was new.

"Many players report a bug connected with the mission in which you have to catch tuna. They can’t do anything. It is impossible to dive or use your phone to call someone. The problem occurs when you do 2 missions on the same day. The solution is simple but may be tiresome – you have to restart the day and skip the other quest. The game should progress normally. For now it is the only working solution. We have to wait for the developers to fix it properly." -gamepressure

I got this fight in only a few tries as well, but I have been really focused on leveling up my equipment--like my starting guns and air tank. Because this quest comes back a few times, I also waited until I felt like doing it, so put it off the first few times it appeared. If it's kicking your butt, don't be afraid to upgrade and try it again at another point.
