Mission 9 is Impossible!
I'm at the part where a giant alien attacks you. What do I do?! My attacks don't do any damage to it!

are you talking about the Reaver that is the size of a power loader or the Alien queen the size of a two story building?

If your'e talking about the queen you need to run into the open shipping containers and shoot her while she's distracted.

It was the tanky bull Alien that kept trying to tackle you at the end of Mission 9. I beat the game already and I was doing it on Ultimate Badass Difficulty.

ic, the Crusher can be tough if it manages to be positioned better than the player; it's all about angles and which barriers you have access to

I focused on taking out the Xenomorphs in the area then focused on the Crusher. To think he would have made a better Final Boss than the Queen.

The Crusher cannot be killed head on, due to its bullet resistant head. Use your weapons on the front or side of the beast to take it down.

The Crusher is much easier to kill in a coop campaign than in the single player campaign. Because in the single the Crusher will only have eyes for you. He won’t attack your teammates. That means that he will always try to turn his invulnerable head towards you. But if you’re still not able to kill him then you can simply let your teammates kill him for you.

How you do that? Once you’ve passed the gate walk a little to the left until you hear them talking about the Crusher. Then walk back to the gate and jump up at the right side of the gate and try to get as high as you can get. It is possible to go up there a little. You’ll notice then that all the other aliens will all come to you. Kill them all from above. Don’t go down. Due to that the Crusher will be standing still doing absolutely nothing while your teammates will be shooting at him. And they will still be doing that after you’ve killed all the other aliens. Eventually they will kill him, but if you time it correctly then you could give the Crusher the final blow yourself. Just throw some firebombs on him when he is almost dead. That way you will also be able to kill him without it damaging you and the achievement Anytime, Anywhere (Kill a Crusher without it damaging you) will be yours. Or you could go to the Crusher right after you've killed all the other aliens for he will be much easier to kill when he is on his own.

sry for bad english xd didn't even notice it back then but easy way to kill that big guy is to try to get on top of those huge containers and shoot it with that plasma pulse rifle that shoots like laser it will die eventually
