You encounter the Leviathan at the end of Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard, where you will have to progress through the East and West Grow Chambers.
The fight with the Leviathan is straight forward for the most part, but some players who are not familiar with the Dead Space series may find it more of a challenge.
Before entering Food Storage where this fight takes place, there is a store. I would recommend that you stock up on a few medium medkits and ammo. It is also worth noting that when you enter the tubular main room, the fight is initiated by you going into Zero Gravity; if you keep your feet on the floor, you can use Kinesis to collect some extra items floating around. Some of these items are health, ammo and o2 canisters that may be helpful if you fail to kill it quick enough.
It has 3 tentacles which will reach out to strike you and it will also fire “puke bombs” at you (for a lack of a better word), so it is best to shoot from a distance.
The Leviathan will begin trying to strike you with its tentacles which will linger for a few seconds, exposing a highlighted fleshy weak spot at its base. You need to shoot at it until it lets out a yell and pulls its tentacle back. It will do this a few times until it starts to fire puke bombs from is mouth in the centre.
When this second stage occurs, the air will become poisonous. You’ll need to shoot at its mouth just as it is about to fire, exploding the bombs in its mouth. Watch out for the tentacles during this bit, as they will continue to try to strike you. Once enough hits to the mouth have been completed, the Leviathan will be killed and ejected into space.
The Plasma Cutter is the best all-rounded tool in the game and is the recommended weapon of choice, as most other weapons are ineffective.
Good luck!

Battle the Leviathan at the end of Chapter 6. In Phase 1, dodge the tentacles when they jut out toward you and shoot the weak point at the base of the tentacles. During Phase 2, the mouth starts spitting explosives at you. Use Kinesis (
+ 
) to grab and throw (
) them back at the mouth. You can also use explosives floating in the room on the mouth. In Phase 3, it will use both attacks combined with poisonous gas in the chamber. Continue dodging the tentacles and throwing the explosives until you defeat the Leviathan and the trophy pops.

I've created a 57 second YouTube Short guide showing how to get the Exterminator achievement by killing the Leviathan.
The Leviathan is the boss in Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard. This boss fight has 3 phases.
The Leviathan is the boss in Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard. This boss fight has 3 phases.
- Phase 1: Dodge the tentacles when they try to hit you and shoot the swollen yellow targets.
- Phase 2: Dodge the yellow pods the Leviathan shoots at you. Catch them or the explosive tanks around the area and shoot them into the Leviathan's mouth.
- Phase 3: You'll now be dodging the tentacles and pods. The Leviathan also releases a poisonous cloud that fills the area and doesn't dissipate. Watch you air supply and use O2 tanks as needed. There are some floating around the area. The goal remains the same. Shoot pods or explosive tanks into its mouth to kill it for good.

You will come across the Leviathan at the end of chapter 6.
He is a very huge boss. At the very beginning of the battle white worm like things will shoot out from underneath it, quickly shoot the yellow parts of them to kill them. After all 3 are dead, it will shoot exploding rocks at you from the middle of its mouth, while its' shooting catch them with Kinesis and shoot them back for the 'Playing Catch' achievement. After you get it just shoot them before they leave his mouth and it will hurt him more. Keep shooting them and it's dead. I finished it in under 2 minutes on easy.

You fight the Leviathan at the end of Chapter 6. You must shoot the glowing yellow spots on each of the Leviathan’s three tentacles. Whenever it slams a tentacle down, quickly Zero-G jump because the tentacle will swipe the ground and injure Isaac if you don’t.
Once the tentacles have been destroyed it will open its mouth and you will have to shoot a small glowing yellow orb inside of its mouth. It will launch pods at you when it opens its mouth, so either move out of the way or use Kinesis on them. Look around for red explosive canisters because you can shoot those at the orb causing serious damage.
Once you damage the orb in its mouth it will respawn the three tentacles. Destroy each one like before while still avoiding the swipes. Once the tentacles have been destroyed it will open its mouth once more and shoot pods at you. Once you’ve damaged the orb inside of its mouth enough it you will defeat the Leviathan and the trophy will unlock.
See Bosses for tips.

The Leviathan boss fight arrives at the end of Chapter 6. This Zero-G fight isn’t too difficult as long as you keep moving left and right to avoid the tentacles (click in the left stick to speed up your flight a bit), and make use of the Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle on its big glowing pus sacks. Once the tentacles are dealt with, keep shooting the glowy bit in its big mouth when it opens, firing back the pus balls that it spits at you with Kinesis.

At the end of Chapter 6, you will find yourself in a room without gravity where there will be a wall of flesh with tentacles and a mouth. First you will need to shoot off the tentacles by shooting the orange bumps at the base. After there are no tentacles left, the monster will start throwing pods at you. You must grab and rush back at him and shoot him in the mouth, this will earn you the "Playing Catch" trophy.

There is no need to grab anything. You take the cutter, as soon as he spits the doll, shoot. The pupa will stop near the mouth (if this nonsense can be called that). Leviathan spits a second explosion. The result is double damage!
Maximum 2 minutes on the fold and that’s it! The easiest BOSS. And if you jump away in time, you can get through without damage. Go for it.
