Hi,
I'm stuck at the boss at the bottom of the cathedral. All I have is Shield, Bind, Energy Form, a pet Nautilus and a set of armour. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I can blast away at him in energy form and that makes him flash, which sort of suggests that I'm doing some damage, but no matter how hard I try, I eventually die before he does. I found that if I hide in the pit with the poison clams, he'll scoop me out and try to eat me, but shooting his mouth from the inside doesn't seem like a workable strategy. Shield bounces back his projectiles, but that doesn't seem any very effective either. I can't find anything to bind. He'll also create a thin merman zombie once in a while, but I can't think of a way to use that against him.
Did I come here too early? It's the place that made sense story-wise. A little earlier in the cathedral, Naija says that she could explore elsewhere, but I'm not sure where to go. Do I need some specific song I don't have? Or just more firepower? Or do I have to find something in the maze of currents, since the last save point is just before that?
-
The little fat mermen thing that is by the poison clams, i believe he likes to eat them ;)
-
Well, he might like to eat them, but he seems much more interested in me. Even if I get him to the pit with the fat zombie, he'll only try to grab me. Eventually, he just blows it up with his shots and then I can't get a new one. He only keeps spitting out thin zombies.
-
The thin zombies transform into poisonous ones if they hit the smoke.
Also, when you shoot him enough, he will eventually retreat to the back of the room and "inhale", trying to swallow you.
Maybe it shouldn't be YOU who gets inhaled, eh? :p
Also, try the Bind Song ;)
-
Ah, I didn't know they transformed. Or that creatures could be grabbed by Bind.
All right, I get what I'm supposed to do now, although I can't actually do it yet. This boss is hard. I wish there was a closer save point.
Thanks for the tips! :)

Here's a last one:
If everything turns red and the music gets more hectic, don't bother waiting for another Zombie. Just shoot like a madman.
-
You can technically beat this boss from the moment you can access him, you only need energy form. It's just very hard without more experience with the controls.
-
Well, I did it now. Man, that was tough and complicated. I'm not sure if I ever would have figured it out on my own.
At least I can properly swim against currents now. I've been itching to have an ability like this.

I had a German guy here shouting "binden binden! schießen schießen!"...
...go all Basil Fawlty on its ass...
Don't mention the war!

-
The boss doesn't get poisoned....he just gets hurt. Make him eat the poison guys about 3 times.....then shoot
-
You're not supposed to be swallowed, let the fat poisonous guys get swallowed while you're taking cover.. that will hurt the boss.
