Help with Furious Giga Slime!

[gboyredgun]

I keep getting wrecked by it :(. I'm not that great at arcade mode since I've only made it to floor 7 but I need help with this slime. My best attempt was fighting him with 3 potions but only got him to 60% hp cause once the whole floor is covered in goo there's no hope.

Add me if you can help me murder some slime.

I found that using a Gold Tier Thrust attack removes collision detection during the attack and you can move through those spots, Also, once you hit the enemy, they take multiple extra hits (just a tip in case you cant find anyone to help)

The most effective way of killing it is using dodging strike, generally it will jump twice then hammer for it's atk pattern. There are a couple vidoes on doing it floating around.

Found one for you it does take practice though but it's far easier than other things.

i realized using the dodge strike or dash strike was the key to getting past the goo since those are the only abilities that move your char but i'd prefer to get it done with more people but that'd probably be more difficult if someone died early in the fight. that video is super impressive and i can probably do it but perfect guarding the hammer attack is next level, it baaarely has any tell. i'll try working at it though, thanks for the responses.

Personally I just ran around spamming silver charged plants.

Edit after searching this from getting stuck myself: Ugh old me why didn't you read that it's arcade mode the plant tactic needs tons of room dude.

I went the "Summoner" Route. I had the Ice Summon Maxed, Cloud to gold charge, plants to silver and bug swarm to silver. Have your ice summon run up and use his pound attack then activate his berserker mode. Meanwhile, you run around while planting silver charge shooter plants. Battle took about 1 min, 30 seconds, and I left unscathed.

i'm talking about the quest in arcade mode. when you fight the red slime there, you can usually get only 1 skill to silver.

I haven't managed to FIND it lol.

Just need that and all the "challenge room" for every floor but I'm not that hardcore.

You can get the Utility skill Blink and completely trivialize the slime. Or you can come back far later in the game. This boss stops scaling with your level at 25.

THIS BOSS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SCALES?!

...The hells it called Grindea for if they just upscale the battles...

No, it doesn't scale. That guy is mistaken. Note that he said "Come back far later in the game"

There is no "Far later" in Arcade.

i remember just grinding this achievement and it did take almost 3hrs of attempts. i used the dodge counterstrike 1 hand sword and just kept attempting until i perfect parried everything i needed to. it might've been easier if i could practice the boss instead of going through 2 floors but that feature wasn't added nor were the stickers. it wasn't easy but good luck.

i believe u gotta talk to an npc in town somewhere and once u accept, at the end of EVERY forest area attempt will have the red giga slime as the 2nd forest area boss. u can toggle the quest if u wanna try later and not deal with the slime and just do regular arcade runs if i remember.

once u beat the slime, the achievement should pop and the only way to fight the red slime again in arcade is through the re-fight building in the top right.
