Sea Spider can suck my nuts

[Valinov]

That is all.

What if Sea Spider is allergic to nuts AND IT DIES FROM NUTS? WOULD YOU BE HAPPY THEN?

WOULD YOU?

I would. It would make completing chapter 2 a lot easier.

It physically can't tho

Seriously. This boss was insane. The mechanics can end up swarming you if you stagger it mid-animation. Multiple times I'd been hit by a barrage of 4 laser cannon blasts, his leg slam, and whatever pulse laser volley he follows a stagger with. All at once. With virtually zero timing in between these attacks. Staggering should reset his current attacks, not freakin' queue them up all at once.

Key points to take away from this?

1. Fix the bug devs. It's pretty obvious, and happens with every boss I've encountered.
2. Dual Songbirds are your friend.
3. Sea Spider can suck my nuts also. If it were physically capable.

Damn. Sounds like a pretty frustrating boss. 'o.o

I've just reached it and I feel the laser blasts are quite unforgiving. Just immediately rips my AC.

Oh, that's all just it's first phase...

I thought Balteus was way more difficult. Sea spider only took a couple tries in comparison.

Yeah. For a skill-based, no I-frame game, they sure do punish you for even dodging the big attacks. Even if you dodge the big lasers, there's always random missiles and/or pulse lasers that just eat away at your AP anyway. The only damage mitigation in the game thus far is through chips you get in the arena, and even those upgrades are minimal.

Edit: I still fking love the game tho. Just frustrating as hell at times.

It was opposite for me. I killed Balteus my first or second try. Sea Spider is proving to be more annoying. I think I'm staggering it too much and getting the "attack-queue" effect that Caxius is talking about.

[bluegobln]

Yeah, this boss is overtuned.

I brought a couple miniguns with some standard missile launchers. Just have to keep pouring on the damage and make sure you're loaded up for when you stun him. The hard part is staying away from those damn claw slams. The hitbox is...insistent.

The way I ended up beating it was with dual Songbird grenade launchers and the quick evasive boost. Normal assault rifle (to maintain the stagger bar) with the sword. 1st phase, shoot em both and follow with the sword. If he begins to slam, evade under him. If you try to dodge away from the slam, he's just gonna catch you. Pretty easy that way. 2nd phase just stay underneath him and chip away moving clear out of the way of the blast he does, and hovering over him when he starts to spin.

Or get lucky and land on top of him. You can ride him pretty well while he's in the air. Just jump off when he spins.
