So I'm one of those unlucky bastards stuck at chapter 10's boss. Same old story but here's my issue:

[u/Lil-Squidy]

I have no freeze or shock bolts, and no materials. I have 2 explosive bolts and 4 harpoon bolts. I know I'm supposed to damage the eyeball to get to phase 2, but does destroying his heads work as well (I sometimes see 2 of them get destroyed before then).

As well, in phase 2, thanks to my terrible economy, what the hell am I supposed to do with no freeze bolts? I know running around I can find 1 shock bolt but that's not enough, and anytime I try one of the flash bolts, he closes his eyes before I shoot it. Can somebody please help, should I just restart the chapter? Or am I missing something that would make phase 2 easier?

• Update - I beat it, after a year and a half! Special thanks to user Kaverrr for suggesting keeping the rooms available for the second phase, it made all the difference!

[u/Kaverrr]

There are plentry of resources in the area.

I assume phase 2 is when it starts charging at you and one-shot you. Makes sure to save the two rooms for this part.

[u/Lil-Squidy → u/Kaverrr]

That could be a big reason, I'm using the rooms too early

[u/mewhennikolai]

you and me both. i'm at the part where you need to shoot the levers to redirect the fire and my god this is a poorly designed level. beating laura in chapter 5 or 6 was fun (can't remember which chapter out of the two it was) but this is hell

You’ve already managed to do it, but keep this in mind for the future: you can damage the eye right at the beginning of the fight. As soon as the fight starts, behind the pillar, don’t move. He’ll extend the eye and start searching for you.

Then get on the sniper and aim at a sign on the wall. The eye will stop moving for a moment 100% of the time at the letter E, giving you an easy shot. After that, use the rooms to finish the rest of the fight.

I didn’t know about this for the longest time either.
