You fight Octo at the start of the DLC. The trick to beating him fast and easy is to destroy the tentacles with your boost (
) instead of avoiding them. Avoid the green mines but boost to knock the ink back to him and he'll be done before you know it.

Brilliant, thanks! Spent way too long dodging tentacles in the last section and never seemed to stun him!

The start of this DLC wastes no time throwing some more side scrolling action at you and pitting a boss against you shortly after. Octo is a gigantic octopus that stole Ruxxtin's stilts and your job is to beat her up and recover them.
Octo's first phase is really simple, she will send his tentacles at you from all three lanes that you can destroy by jumping on them or boosting through them. If you don't feel like destroying them, jumping over them works too. After the tentacles, Octo will shoot ink balls which can be deflected back to her by boosting into them. You need to deflect 9 ink balls onto Octo to stun her to be able to boost into her.
Octo's second phase is similar to the first one, only this time the tentacles will towards you and have a downward slapping attack. You can boost them or jump on them like before to destroy them. She will occasionally shoot a land mine or two in the mix that can't be jumped on or boosted. Your goal here is to keep boosting the ink balls back at Octo until you can boost into her again.
Octo's third phase is a little tougher now because she goes underwater and brings rocks to the surface that you need to avoid. Her tentacles will continue to move towards you but faster and they will also crisscross from the top and bottom lanes. Your goal here is destroy 12 tentacles which forces Octo to shoot out exactly 9 ink balls at you across all three lanes. You need to be quick and mash the boost and deflect all of them back at her or you'll have to restart the process all over again. After you force her to shoot the ink and deflect it back, she'll be beaten after one last hit.
