I really thought I might get him this time. But he has some very nasty third phase attacks. I figured I would upload this video to show how I powered up (good weapon with 7 damage slots, a heal, a key liquifier - which did little for me - and an astronaut) and came close but still failed because of those nasty attacks. A +25% damage parasite and another heal vial would have given me a win I think. Maybe.

7:48 Hmm Key Liquifier that should help a lot
10:26 Hmm a hand that's new
12:17 Severed
13:37 Now that's a gun

20:29 Wait the Key Liquifier only increased my Max Integrity

I misread the Key Liquifier. I thought it was supposed to heal me to max. All it did was increase my max. Well, I don't recall finding any other consumable heals, so I guess I didn't really miss out. Had I known what it really did, I would have tried to farm keys and use them all to add to my max and then heal up using the green bed before starting.

Looks like distance is still my friend here. Being too close really did me in in the third phase.

I need to take a break - I've tried and died 6 times today. On the final run before I gave up, my reactions were becoming haphazard and I wasn't even dashing or moving enough to avoid incoming shots, so I was still getting hit. It was time to stop. My relationship with this game right now is starting to be love and hate. So I'll wait until tomorrow and try again.

One thing that I could do is farm obolite in biome 1 and buy the large heal in that fabricator, then farm more and buy another in biome 2, that way I have two full heals to go with the astronaut. I may try that. Biome 1 is also really good for farming Atropian Keys. So if I find a Key Liquifier, I can get a huge health bar from it. I can also farm more obolite to buy the 25% max integrity upgrade, where available.
