Ibis C-Weapon

Ok. nothing i shoot with will actually hit this thing. What am i doing wrong? Also messing around with it for a little, I find out he actually will not do anything for a solid 10 seconds or more until I shoot at it. The moment I shoot he is all over the place lmao

Honestly Gatling guns were particularly good here because their rate of fire is so high the guy takes plenty of chip damage, and it does decent stun as well. My build was exceptionally blunt - twin Gats and twin Songbirds - but I think if you went with a single Stinger, one gatling, and kinda any reasonbly high rate of fire off weapon, you'd be okay. Especially if you're keeping your speed up to like 330 or higher.

i like this approach. high rate of fire is what ill try next.

I just want to say, this kind of stuff pisses me off in the game, its really frustrating that there is no indicator of when bosses go invincible and when they become vulnerable again...

For a few seconds. Fires of Raven final boss does it too for the second phase.

the best open I found was quick boost forward, wait a moment, activate assault armor, stuns the boss 99% of the time and you shouldn't take much if any damage

dumping everything I was able to do about 1/2 of the boss's health consistently in the first 10 seconds, using the gat, the sweet sixteen, and the 6x front missiles

having the Mind Beta legs (level 7 hunter reward) is also really nice, they're really solid RJ legs that I've been using consistently since I unlocked them

this is the fight that sold me on Assault Armor as the expansion and shotguns in general, since I was always more of a gats n zook with missiles guy in AC4A, but the bazooka is just a little too slow for big fights compared to how much damage it outputs

You know, there was another boss that was coral powered... I wonder if a similar weapon... no nevermind. Stupid idea.

literally wrong it's a good 2 seconds after the health bar appears

source: my main weapon in this fight was the gat, so it's REALLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ EASY to tell

as much as i want to win.. i don't want to. i've stuck with my bipedal legs since the start of the game and this feels too much like a cheese. but i feel like i'm out of luck unless someone can tell me i can actually beat this thing without it.

You can, people have beat the game without weapons and unarmed. Just depends on how good you are.

Within 2 seconds is fine.

Just take 2 needle throwers, and two arm bazookas and you should kill it without any efford in under 1 minute. As soon as the game starts shoot the dual needlers and it will be stunned, than the bazookas and half of the life bar is emptied already.

I just took a quad legged build with 2x arm large shotguns and 2x shoulder stun needles from the worm mission. I think I have killed every boss with this build at some point now.

Yeah, it's totally game breaking... They should double the weight of the needler and slow down it's reload speed.

I never mention switching from bipedal legs, which I have used since I started. I did buy a leg upgrade that increased my load limit, which in turn allowed me to use the arsenal mention in 1st post.

The assault boost into charged Piledriver while it's in stagger is key. It can take out around 1 inch of it's health bar, compared to half-centimeter chip damage I had with Laser Sword.

Bazooka and Songbirds won't do much damage, but it will build stagger REAL good. 5 charged Piledriver is enough to put it in critical condition (10% left).

BTW, this isn't a souls game. You don't need to use the same arsenal "just because it's the one you chose". That's Soulslike mentality, I should know.

"ermaghad, I dumped all my souls and materials on this one/two weapons and now I can't beat this boss WAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Dual pistols + dual zimmermans with speed legs worked pretty well. Have to stay in his grill as much as possible
