Aquaria Boss Strategies

What-choo talkin' 'bout?  I never got hit once using the safe-spot.

your description of the arnassi crab strategy is not very thorough.  i did not have nature form when i fought him, and so the enema didn't come until i had removed his claws.  this required shooting his eyes, and then while he was down, shooting his arms, once his arms were out, if i swam high enough above him, he would jump up at me, and THEN i could give him an enema.

I never thought of just leaving the poisoned merman close to Mithalas until my second run-through, I just binded the guy and brought him with me when Mithalas did his suction attack.


By the way, I defeated the giant crab by attacking it's weakpoint for massive damage.

I'm having a lot of difficulty with the Frozen Viel crab. Any tips? I'm not quick enough to bind a bomb, morph into nature form, shot the crab, drob the bomb, and get out of the way.

all you have to do is charge up a nature shot, while waiting at the top of the bubble.  when he STARTS to drop bombs, send your shot toward the ceiling.  he'll let off about two bombs (hopefully in your direction) and drop.  all you have to do is turn into enrgy mode and attack one of the bombs.  they don't have to hit his belly, they just have to go off near him when he's disengaged from the ceiling.

i discovered this because li would be firing randomly and hit a bomb right as the crab fell, and he immediately returned to the ceiling, bruised.

you can also bind a bomb, change into the nature form, strike down the mantis shrimp and float around the creature with the bomb, until it explodes and hurts. Repreat this three times and you will win

energy shots go right through it

The bomb, or the crab?

i'm having trouble with the ice crab too, just not fast enough for the normal strategy. Before I go in and get killed again, does that shot the bubble method work? or, is it possible to use the dual form-najia scream to k-o him? that would be SWEET

[Glamador]

Well if you have Jelly form then you shouldn't die against the lobster boss...also you'll notice there are little creatures that will latch onto you and heal you gradually for the whole fight if you sing next to them.  I believe they're off to the left side of the boss room.  Then you can just take your time, work on the timing, try and try again.

*FINNALLY beats the crab* I think what i ended up doing was using nature to "spike" him down into the bubble right as he let go of bombs, and then just letting one hit me and him at the same time.

man, i'm trying to beat the final boss, final form. i'm not sure i understood the strategy right. I thought it was that li would blast the head inside the weird stomach mouth when it fires the big blue beam. and then, either that would kill him after a few reapeats or that it would release monsters to charge up the naijia form to kill after a few repeats. am i doing something wrong here?

*edit* *30 seconds later*
AH, it's my timeing, have to hit the mouth BEFORE it fires. sheesh, 1/20 tries at THAT so far. and i'm still not she if it's naija or li i need to REALLY kill him

*2 mins later*
*watches boss fall apart* YAAAAY thank you so much for clarifying!

Hitting the Beam-Spewing-Stomach-Head (There's a line I thought I'd never say) with Li is used simply to unleash creatures to charge up Naija's Blast Attack.  When fully charged, unleash it on the boss and then repeat this process.  After 2-3 odd Naija Blasts the boss'll be defeated. Only Naija's Blast'll end up killing him

I had unbelieveable trouble hitting that little blue bulb in his mouth as well...I think about 1 in 8 shots would actually hit it.  And only 1 of the 4 that hit had me get out of the way of the beam as well.

I got tons of food lol xD
I got hit every time I tired to shoot the blue head thing
but I managed to avoid the shooting from that head, I used royal soup...
