Biome 2

Stat Augment fabricators for Proficiency Rate and Alt-Fire Cooldown are generally less recommended. A single +15% Proficiency bump is acceptable, but max Weapon Proficiency can be achieved by the end of Biome 3 without additional buffs.

When fighting Crimson Turrets, let them start shooting while you run diagonally towards them to stay ahead of their fire, allowing you to close the gap for a sword swipe.

For Waste Kerberonyx, be aggressive when they are toppled to capitalize on their stagger state.

Against Gorgolith, use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) or sprint to avoid their homing missiles. For their slam attack, back away quickly and either jump or dash through the red rings. Dash through their tail laser. Damage Gorgoliths by maintaining a steady stream of damage to their head.

When fighting Severed, keep your distance but be patient with your dash for their teleport/melee combo, waiting for them to materialize before dashing.

Dodge Aetheract's square blue bullet volleys by dodging through them or moving sideways. For their triple laser, stand between beams or dash outwards.

For Archonact's homing missiles, time your dash to nearly the exact moment of impact. For their prolonged homing salvo, use sprinting combined with a well-timed dash. When they rise and spin blue bullets, get underneath them if space is limited or back away.

The Malformed Archonact adds undodgeable lasers and other challenging attacks.

For the Ixion boss fight, a shotgun is not recommended due to Ixion spending most of the time airborne. Get in shots when possible and be patient.

During Ixion's Phase 1 Dash and Blast attack, he will fly to a new location and create red bullets that slowly descend.
