Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Fire, Blunt damage
• Resistances: Piercing damage
• Health: High

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Ambush
   The Mire Serpent emerges from the water, lunging and swiping with its claws. It also spits toxic bile. Stay mobile and dodge its attacks. Focus on hitting its head when it pauses.
2. Phase 2: Constriction
   The serpent attempts to grapple the player, coiling around them. If caught, mash the indicated buttons to break free. This is a good opportunity to deal damage if you can position yourself correctly.
3. Phase 3: Frenzy
   The serpent becomes more aggressive, increasing the speed and frequency of its attacks. It may also summon smaller Mirelings. Prioritize dodging and look for brief openings to attack its weak points.

Strategy:

• Use fire-based weapons or items like Molotovs to exploit its weakness.
• Blunt weapons also deal increased damage.
• Keep your distance when it spits bile and be prepared to dodge its lunges.
• When it attempts to constrict, try to attack its body or head if possible, or be ready to break free.
• In the frenzy phase, focus on survival and only attack when you have a clear opening.
• Consider using environmental hazards if available, such as explosive barrels.
