Mash keys uncontrollably while yelling "DIE DIE DIE!"

In all seriousness, you have to get close enough to him for him to stick his tongue thingy out, and shoot that. And use Sun Form charge when he blinds you.

When in doubt, watch cambrianmanlp's playthrough: http://youtu.be/yL8fQ_bW7iE (spoilers)

Optional boss.

Basically, the fight boils down to this:

- If he darkens the screen, charge up sun form and release light to make the darkness go away.
- He has only one vulnerable spot: His tongue. It's hidden usually though.
- To make it appear, swim near his face. He will stick out his tongue for a split second and then try to grab you, which you should AVOID because it HURTS.
- In the short time when the tongue is visible, shoot it with energy blasts (max. 1 or 2 hits possible), then MOVE to avoid geting grabbed.
- The spawns can be eaten or otherwise dealt with.
- The safest spot against his massive bullets is somewhere above his head if i recall correctly.

*cough*
Daxar, any additions? :P
