Boss - 02:26

This stage is very annoying. I always started with the middle pod since that's the one which is more likely to kill me, that one only leaves itself open to attack if you leave your back, or rather sides, vulnerable and only stays open for a brief moment.

The boss of this level is also pretty tricky. You have to be on the watch for its laser cannon (exclusive to hard difficulty) and his spinning move which is also considerably faster and more difficult to dodge at hard difficulty.

The spinning move can be lured away with the correct movement, but the small shots fired by the boss' leg canons will try to mess up your dodge and lure you into a trap with the boss moving right where you thought he wouldn't go. Trust me, that happens.

The best way to deal with it is by just backing up straight backwards so you'll always know where the boss will rush to.

The thing here is that you can't let the boss leave your sight until you break its leg canons, if you do the boss will use the ground pound attack and nothing short of a miracle will save you since each leg canon will hurt you unless it has been destroyed.

This is also the reason you shouldn't damage the boss too much as it will do the ground pound move constantly it has been damaged too much.

Once the boss starts doing that move you can more or less be assured the core will stay around in the same general position, so you can readjust your rotation to hit it more frequently.
