Boss Fight - Uroboros Aheri
Uroboros returns again and it's even deadlier than ever. Start the battle by using the key card on the panel to receive a new weapon, the Laser Targeting Device. You can choose to attack from your current level or the level above, I prefer up-top. Aim at the weak spot on either tentacle, you'll need to be locked on for a few seconds before you can fire. Unfortunately, after firing you will not be able to use the weapon for a minute while it recharges. Due to the recharge time of the LTD, bringing a powerful weapon such as a magnum into the battle will greatly cut down the length of the battle. After you destroy each weak spot, Uroboros will spit out some underlings. A couple of shots will take care of them and will reward you will ammo/herbs or you can ignore them completely, but they will quickly multiply as the battle progresses. After both weak spots have been destroyed, a larger one will temporarily emerge. With your magnum and the LTD deal as much damage as possible. Unless you're carrying a rocket launcher, you aren't going to be able to defeat it first-time.
Four tentacles will appear this time. If you aren't already on the top level, head up there as it will make shooting the weak spots easier. You'll have to be more precise when locking onto the tentacles this time. If you take too long, they will swerve and attempt to crush you which can be evaded by passing a QTE. Like against Irving on the turrets, you can still pull off QTE dodges while aiming. Once you've destroyed all four bulbs, the larger one will reveal itself again. Hit it with everything you've got to hopefully put it down. If it's still standing, repeat this step again until it dies.
Excella's current form is impressive, impressive and indelible. A black carcass hangs over the platform and bludgeons the heroes with tentacles with large bubbles - “buds” at the ends. The slug also likes to collapse onto the lower part of the arena with its entire mass, so it’s worth staying on it just for the sake of that same laser designator for the satellite. We open the niche with the card, take away the device (like a flamethrower, it does not allow you to use other weapons) and quickly climb to the upper tier.
After this, the real battle will begin. There is less room for maneuver at the top, but it will be easier to react to the boss's attacks. Almost all of them are preceded by lighted buttons, and you just need to remember which attack corresponds to which combination. Having learned to jump away from attacks, we put the laser on the floor so that we don’t have to look for it for a long time, choose the one we least like out of the three tentacles and fire at its bubble. Having received a certain amount of damage, it will darken, freeze and allow you to quickly knock down the remaining health.
The crumbling “bud” will shower the area with rain of small ouroborosics. Aggressive groups die from one shot, but they interfere with concentration. They will have to be destroyed after destroying each tentacle (and if you hesitate, the bubbles will also begin to recover). Note to greedy people: Excella does not share trophies as generously as the U-8 crab, and in a battle with her it is quite possible to be left without ammunition. Try to smear less often.
Having lost its tentacles, Ouroboros will reveal a main bubble of incredible size. This is precisely what the “ion cannon” is designed for. We take the laser target (or order our partner to take it), aim at the target and “shoot”. An orbital salvo will pierce through Excella, but will not kill her outright - two more hits will be needed.
In the next phase, there are four tentacles, and they strive to bury the entire arena under them. You'll have to urgently strike it yourself, using incendiary shells from the box above. Hitting one of the high-raised bubbles will interrupt the deadly attack, and the boss will use his usual attacks for the rest of the battle. Beat the tentacles until the main bubble appears, attack it with a super weapon, and then do the same in the third phase (involving three tentacles).
