O grande problema e cortar os tentculopoeq quando vc faz isso ele solta aqueles peixes .malditos

A dificultado cortar os tentaculos sem levar dano, o resto facil.1. Comea com charged shot e passe debaixo do polvo, aproveite e de o primeiro tiro de boomerangue.
maiksonstrife 21 Mar 2021 17:39
2. Depois de acertar o primeiro tiro, troque imediatamente para rolling shield para se defender dos ataques, at o polvo usar o tornado, no final do tornado a segunda chance de usar o boomerangue

3. Repita, rolling shield pra se defender at o polvo usar o tornado e dar abertura pra ser acertado pelo boomerangue, na terceira vez os tentaculos caem.

4. A facil como disseram, s ficar dando tirorapido com a buster, o polvo s vai ter 2 movimentos, tiros que o shot destroi e pulo, fica num canto, quando ele pular no teu canto, passa por baixo e vai pra outra parede.

Just cut his tentacles off with Boomerang Cutter and then spam the regular buster. Dash-jump off the wall over him if he short-hops right into your face, otherwise just dash under his jumps and stay as far away as possible.

Oh my goodness. Going back to this almost complete set wondering why this was the only boss not completed hitless... I now know why!

Really tough boss. Cutting his tentacles and then smashing the X-buster like hell did it for me (after dozens of tries).

(just don't go spamming cutters without concern, or else it'll run out and you'll be forced to repeat the whole stage -- in as few as 3 tries)

Ok, so here's my strategy. First, get ready to shoot a charged shot as soon as the fight begins to destroy the missiles that go towards you at the start. Then, inmediately go for Boomerang Cutter and try hitting him three times. It will take a couple of tries before he gives you the good pattern. After you destroy the tentacles, switch to storm tornado and fire it right next to Octopus, this will not only destroy any missiles he fires, but will also hit Octopus twice per tornado. Keep your distance and you will beat him.

What I did was spam the cutter as soon as match started than switched to buster and just kept my distance any time he jumped close to my position I would wall jump to other side of area and just rinse and repeat
