Boss: Cyclops Plant (Frighteningly Fixated Flora) - 05:50

Not much to talk about this dungeon, the dual mini-boss room gave me way more trouble than I expected, I lost more attempts in that fucking room more than anywhere else here.

Cyclops Plant is an easy boss, very little randomness into play and easy to learn and follow patterns.

The first phase has platforms that must be raised via attack. The way platforms raise depends on the boss' health, after dealing about 10 damage to it, the switch will trigger platforms from the other side of the room, so you'll have to use the Pistol. You DON'T have to use the Pistol to damage the boss, you can hair whip as the shell won't deal damage to you and it'll make the fight faster, but that's also more dangerous as well.

Once the second phase starts stay in the middle as it's a guessing game to know where the boss will bounce to. Don't try to beat the boss while it's bouncing everywhere, any hit will launch the boss across the room making the job of dodging it much harder. Lastly, pay attention to the height it'll fire its laser, you can jump over the boss to avoid the attack entirely as well, but be careful as the jump is harder than it looks.

Don't get too greedy when hitting the boss on the last phase and Master Gardener achievement will be yours.
Bring some Super Pike Balls here if you want another extra achievement as well. Around three Super Pike Balls ought to be more than enough. Regular Pike Balls will just drag the fight way longer than needed.

Unrelated info: I had to use a separate, weaker, save to make this thing since the former run here had me using Super Pike Balls to deal with the mini-bosses and I didn't like that. So there's that.
