How to beat it
- Optional, and one of the easiest fights in the game.
- It flops around you trying to land tail hits. A shotgun ends it quickly.
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.
