silvervaizen Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Been working my way through insane difficulty at what i consider a pretty decent rate, but i've completely come to a stop against the Octaking boss encounter.. I've tried god knows how many times and i just cant make any progress. The tactics people use in vids / walkthrough just dont hold up in insane against this boss.. Anybody got any hints or secrets they used to make this giant pain in the butt more manageable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smobu Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I haven't done insane yet but on normal I went in the small cabin and kept shooting down octo's while running back and forth for ammo, and if close to death jump a bit towards the 'desk' so enemies think u stand on that and they shoot at cabin instead of in, and when octo's are all dead hurt boss, n when they reappear keep reapting that, until boss nears half of hp then make sure all octo's are gone then shoot boss again, this is what I did on normal so dunno if will work on insane, but after that phase should be the easier part without having to fight octo's with cover gone and just avoid boss dmg and shoot him, hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanDanteGamer Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I just beat this, best tip i can give is carry the shrink ray over from Fork Stop, its rather valuable against the Octobrains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrillax Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 to make it even easier make sure you got a beer and a holo duke that's what i used on normal and it worked like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragons Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I just beat this, best tip i can give is carry the shrink ray over from Fork Stop, its rather valuable against the Octobrains I carried the Shrink Ray, but switched it for the devastator when the assault captains attacked (right before the second octaking fight). Unfortunatly, there was a checkpoint, so now I lost and have to backtrack to the secret room in the fork stop:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
