How to beat it
- Slow and predictable. Keep your distance and it rarely threatens you.
- The pattern that works: land two shotgun shells, back off, repeat. Do not try to out-damage it up close.
Before you trigger it
- Buy the spawn item first — without it the boss does not appear at all.
- Stock healing. There is no shop once the fight starts.
- Leave inventory space for the drop.
- Hand the trophy in afterwards — the kill on its own advances nothing.
