♥♥♥♥ the second boss

[Scratch_]

I cannot get past the second boss on this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. The firebug or whatever. Im on attempt number....♥♥♥♥ probably 60 at this point. I have put 45 hours into this game on PS4 and am still stuck (ON THE SECOND ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AREA). Guides on the internet do nothing for me. Im completely at a loss for the stupidity that is this second boss.

Only one usefull tip here.
RUN.. When he starts to spin. run out off his range and keep running

[Mr. Boniface]

Actually, I recommend blocking the spinning attacks.

I too was stuck for a little bit but had more success after knowing to only hit its head while lined up with it as the rotors on its sides drop fire on the ground after a hit. So let him finish his attack, go in for a hit or two, run/dodge out directly backwards, and repeat

[Sunsetter]

Which attacks are getting you exactly?
Either way, slide attack and then dodge back is the way to go. Like so:

The second boss seems hard but its actually fairly simple. Move close, then evade and let it do a single arm spin attack. Dodge back in and whack it a few times. Rinse repeat till it is in stage 2 (flight mode).

In stage 2, do exactly the same as above except ignore damaging arms and go right for the control point "brain" in the center. Let it do a single arm spin attack, evade out, then run back in and hit the control point a few times then dodge to stop it squishing you with its drop attack.

Rinse repeat.

Its actually one of the easier bosses once you get the pattern, as its extremely predictable. Essentially your combat pattern should be; Move close, dodge away, dodge towards, attack, attack, dodge away.

Yeah, Firebug is actually easier (I think) than PAX. Some of it's moves are specifically to move away from the player, leaving floor traps, gives you breathing room or opportunity to burn a HoT inject.

The first stage's spin attack is short-lived, just back off the moment all it's legs lift off the ground, and it should end quick enough. Stage two's spin is a very long chase, you're better off blocking that. Once you sort out that, all you have to do is figure out how best to use your weapon to hit the legs.

Oh, and the bonus drop comes when you break all 6 legs before killing the core. Which can be tricky as it tends to hide the last leg behind the core. : /

It's easy hit then dodge/block, repeat. When he spins u just run. Also never get to far from him cuz he's gonna charge you. For second stage just hit and run. Fast weapon is helpful staff or sword.

[Noir]

just let it spin out, dash and hit it after. In phase 2, just stay away from the fire, bait an attack and attack after. Simply run in a circle to dodge literally every other attack besides the stomp you get when you're underneath him.
