I was not expecting to win this fight at all. I went in with no heals, a low integrity heal parasite and an astronaut. I think I had some protection going too. I was using a pylon gun with long duration. Being able to use Voidbeam with slowdown helped too. My heart was pounding so hard at the end - I didn't think I would do it but towards the end I thought I might and the moment really spiked. It was either going to be an awesome unexpected second try or a big sigh.

The next day, it occurred to me that I could have activated the Repair Efficiency consumable to get double regen at low integrity and give me a better heal buffer.

I had to be careful moving around, too, because I have a parasite that damages me on long falls.

Maybe the pylon gun is a bit overpowered. It continues its damage while I'm dodging, which is a huge plus.

When I watched my prior fight against this boss, I saw the purple beams hitting me all the time. I didn't even notice them at all when I was playing. So this time, I was ready for them.

Oh come on Share Factory, when I say NO PACKAGE, I also mean no outro. Stupid.

This was a really cool boss fight considering. I liked the music.

Play 52:15 at speed 0.75 and you'll hear the first 5 notes in the first verse of Don't Fear the Reaper.
