How to unlock the Underwater Expedition achievement in Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - Definitive Guide
So when his head is submerged your only way of hurting him is to have a metal weapon or a metal-beam weapon. Essentially anything where you are shooting a ball and chain. These are the only weapons that can pierce through the surface of the water to damage the boss.
Once you have his health low take control of the engine and have your AI control the metal gun. Fly as close as you can to the surface and your AI will be able to take out the rest of his health for the achievement.
Keep an eye on the mini-map it tells you when he is inside the water.
Keep shooting away his body parts until his head cracks open. This is now the tricky part. You have to deal the final blow when it is submerged, however there is something you should keep in mind. A lot of weapons ignore the water. I killed him easily with the Metal + Laser thrusters as the spiked mines ignore terrain. There is a lot of other weapons that do the same. Find one and use it.
Once you get Cetus passed half health he will begin to hide underwater a bit more. Power and beam turrets will not penetrate the surface of the water but metal and metal combo turrets will. So once he is about 1/10 of health trying hitting him while he is underwater. I used two metal gems on the Yamato and timed it to fire right as he is underwater. Send the AI to the shield to help protect you while you are running around and to prevent him from accidentally defeating him.
