  • Hitting the machines one at a time makes the battle much easier.
  • Hang onto the Water Shield as long as you can, as a large part of Act 2 is underwater.
  • The Water Shield will repel any projectiles fired at you.
  • If you go left and Spin Dash to the right, you can continue onward past an Orbinaut.
