The Cragclaw is basically the first boss fight. It has three stages that are very similar.
You come across the Cragclaw
.
There will be multiple platforms above a lava pool. Two of the platforms will have vitality plants to refill your health.
When the Cragclaw appears, it has a bulb dangling above its head, like an anglerfish. You need to shoot and break each bulb. Each one takes three-five shots to break.
As you are attacking it during the first stage, it will throw rocks at you in a fiery ring. It does this it sets of three. The first ring you can double jump over if you’ve upgraded your jump pack. The second ring you can crouch to avoid. Then jump over the third ring. You may also be able to jump to different platforms to avoid the fiery rings.
Stage two has three bulbs and the same ring attacks. It does add a new attack: launching a stream of fire that will pool and cause damage on whatever platform you are on. Avoid the attacks and shoot the bulbs.
Stage three is basically the same as stage two, but there are five bulbs to hit.
If you get close to try to slap it, it will use its claws to knock you far from it. Be careful not to fall into the lava pool.
Tip: you can use binding bile to partially immobilize the Cragclaw but it may make shooting the bulbs more challenging as it struggles to break free.

Thanks. Somehow I didn't figure out his pattern, was to busy jumping to evade.

If this is the first boss, why isn't there a Storymode label on this achievement?

Story related, can't be missed.
You will fight Cragclaw during the mission "Investigate the Tower" but providing you go in with at least 80 health, 10secs of Stamina and all the Lv1 upgrades for your Nomad Pistol, the battle will be an easy one.
Cragclaw only has 2 attacks: A Fire Shockwave and a Lava Bomb, both of which are easy to avoid by either jumping over them or using your Proton Tether to jump to another platform. To kill him, shoot the yellow orbs on the end of the stalks on his head, whilst dodging his attacks. Once you have destroyed the first set of orbs, Cragclaw will collapse then sprout some more after a few seconds. Destroy this second set of orbs, then he will spawn a third and final set so destroy them to kill him.
Note: I strongly recommend doing this trophy in co-op so you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone by netting both it and We came, We Saw, We Kicked Its Ass at the same time, else you will have to do a second playthrough on account that Cragclaw doesn't respawn like all the other non-boss enemies do after reloading your save.
