Is Chapter 5-2 Boss bugged?

[VGD]

We've spent literally all our ammo and 30 mins of non-stop shooting the cysts that appear, but it doesn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die at all

[John Helghast]

It's just really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tanky, try to focus it's sphere looking weakpoints when you coax them out.

[VGD]

That's the thing, the sphere/balls came out when we used the 3 gas canisters to blow it up. But everything after that, from using incendiary grenades to the flamethrower, they never came out again, and we literally shot at it until we had nothing left to shoot.

[John Helghast]

I really wish I could give a specific answer here, I just fought it the 2nd time recently (much against my wishes cause the chapter bugged and didn't count me beating it for campaign completion) and it was just a mix of shooting weakpoints and lighting it like a candle with incendiary grenades and grenade rounds and the flamethrower, my buddy and I eventually got it. I'd say google is your friend if you're still stuck after another try.

[VGD]

Already tried that, the videos that turned up seemed to have no problem, thus why I'm giving it a shot here

[John Helghast]

Hm, what guns are you using? Friend was using the bolt action fully upgraded along with the AK and I was using the starting pistol almost full upgrade and the hydra ( though that didn't do too much ). We've learned another way to shorten the length is the grenade launcher incendiary rounds i mentioned, every time I nailed him with one of those, it insta revealed his weakpoints. Try using those?

[VGD]

2 of us. Chris on Shotgun/Rifle, me on maxed out Pistol + SMG. Each of us brought 5 incendiary grenades each and used the flamethrower each chance we got.

All it did after we used the gas canisters, was to show the weakspots where it's giant arm came out. But the balls/spheres never appeared ever again after we used up the canisters.

[John Helghast]

Take a grenade launcher and load up on incendiary rounds, whoever's using it shoot it once with that, weakpoints should reveal, light it up with regular firearms then repeat when they go back in. Least that's what my friend and I seemed to discover.

Exactly what Kalith said, if you can't bother to go through all that then go back to 3-1 and get a free rocket launcher and move back to 5-2 and shoot the Uroboros Mkono and it will be all over in a second.

If you have the cash just buy a RPG from the shop.

Shoot uroboros main body with flamethrower, friend shoots cysts, recharge flamethrower do it again, you need 2-3 flamethrowers to kill it, run around the place shoot it, dodge tentacle attack, shootit again, recharge flamthrower, dodge etc etc Done. it takes damage from body also, you can see those little worms drip out of it if you make damage to it.

[VGD]

We had at least 10 reps of flamethrower rounds fully at it mang. It did nothing.

There is a bug if players is out of sync associated with network.
Players will get a different scenes of boss, so you will never defeat him with standard weapons.
To avoid this problems, it is strongly recommended to use rocket launcher to insta-kill in coop.
But if network connection between the players is fine, you can deal with uroboros as in usual solo game.
This bug is appeared in chapter 5-2 only

[VGD]

Thank you very much! That's probably the reason, as my internet is quite wonky, my friend usually hosts.

use rocket launcher or that special gun that is there and that will help

[SYYK]

it just has a lot of health, and the flamethrower alone is weak.

short answer to your question is yes, it is bugged. the cyst popping rate for pc is much harder than console. 100% flamethrower rarely causes the thing to go into weakness mode, but it DOES damage it.

popping the arms and head off beforehand increases your odds of it revealing weakness. the flamethrower will also gradually pop off extremities, but they regrow faster than the flamethrower recharges. you can use it in conjunction with other fire weapons, but alone it's futile.

you need a combination of incendiaries, the flamethrower, and patience to take it down without resorting to cheap kills. the flamethrower alone can do the job, but it's basically a peashooter, and can take a very long time if you're a purist....

a rocket launcher will kill it in one hit in a pinch, and repeated infinite magnum shots, if you don't feel like doing it the hard way.

Get an RPG, boss fight's finished in 2 seconds.
