Learn how to defeat the Blood Moon boss in Dead Space 3. This guide covers its phases, weaknesses, and the best strategies to overcome this challenging encounter.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • The boss's weak points are its giant yellow eyes and a glowing blue spot on its body.
  • Tentacles have orange spots that must be shot to destroy them.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Eye Attacks
    - Grab nearby markers with kinesis and launch them into the boss's giant yellow eye.
  2. Phase 2: Adds and Tentacles
    - After the initial eye attack, chunks of rock will land and hatch into necromorphs. Kill them.
  3. Phase 3: Tentacle Destruction
    - Giant tentacles will grab the platform. Shoot the orange spots on them to destroy them quickly.
  4. Phase 4: Repeat and Advance
    - More necromorphs will appear. Kill them.
  5. Phase 5: Second Eye Attack
    - A second giant eye will become visible. Grab a marker and toss it into the eye.
  6. Phase 6: Repeat Cycle
    - Repeat the steps of wiping out necromorphs, destroying tentacles, and shooting markers into the eyes. This cycle needs to be completed three times.
  7. Phase 7: Final Weak Point
    - After completing the cycle three times, a different scene will play. Use kinesis on the glowing blue spot on the boss's body and pull it towards you.
  8. Phase 8: Game Finale
    - When you regain control, run to the raised platform nearby and hit the button prompt to finish the game.

Strategy:

  • Supercharge your kinesis and stasis powers at the blue circle on the ground as soon as you regain control.
  • Use super kinesis to rip arms off necromorphs.
  • Prioritize destroying the tentacles quickly by shooting their orange spots.
  • Be prepared for waves of necromorphs after each major boss action.
  • After the third successful eye attack sequence, focus on using kinesis to pull the boss's blue weak spot towards you.
  • The final step involves interacting with a raised platform to trigger the end sequence.
