First Epic Boss Battle

In this fight, the player will be on a small boat that gets attacked by something very large. Players will need to begin by shooting or hacking at the monster's tentacles when they land on the boat. After this happens for a while, there will be a new step to hurting the creature. The Locust Fish will emerge and try to eat the boat. When this happens, players can shoot and it's eye, and then run inside its mouth.

Once inside the monster's mouth, aim for the blue tips on the protruding things and then throw explosives down it's throat. After repeating these steps several times, the battle should be over.³

Skorge Boss Battle

The second boss battle takes place at the end of Act 4 (and beginning of Act 5, arguably) in the game. The opponent is Skorge, the leader of the Locust military and the Locust Queen's second-in-command. Skorge wields a staff with two chainsaws attached to either end, and can leap high in the air.

During the fight, Skorge will leap at you and slash with his chainsaw-staff, triggering a chainsaw duel. Mash B as much as you can to fend him off. Afterward, Skorge will retreat and attack. He saws down pillars, throws ink grenades and summons Tickers. Dodge these attacks while firing at him, and he'll eventually engage you in another chainsaw duel. After repeating the process a few times, the fight ends.

Briefly afterward, Skorge attacks while you're trying to escape from Nexus on a Reaver. Skorge is riding on his own Reaver, chasing after you. He fires rockets and rams into your Reaver. Use the turret and face Skorge, first focusing your fire on his Reaver's mouth. Dodge his rockets, and then start firing on Skorge's cockpit. Once your out in the open, continue to dodge Skorge's rockets while firing at the mouth and shooting off the Reaver's arm when it latches onto you.
