The Custodian's Eye - boss description
The Custodian's Eye is a flying surveillance robot capable of controlling the arena. It also has many different laser attacks, which deal high damage and can knock you off the arena to your death. Its weak point is its eye, which is only vulnerable while it's attacking.
Moveset
- Tracking laser - fires a purple laser from its eye which follows the player character. The beam also leaves a lingering, damaging track on the ground.
- Arena shift - lowers or raises parts of the arena, depending on the attack. Changing tiles glow red.
- Triple laser - winds up for a triple laser while the arena's changing. They move slowly, revolving around the boss' axis.
- Robotic eyes - The Custodian's Eye spawns smaller robots that fire at players.
- Blue lasers - similar to previous attacks, but with faster tracking. The arena can also be changing during this attack.
- Horizontal laser - The Custodian's Eye moves the arena, raises some platforms, then quickly sweeps twice with a red laser in both directions.
How to fight The Custodian's Eye?
Unlike in other boss fights, you should shoot at the boss while it's attacking itself. You won't always have an opportunity to, but you'll deal more damage by shooting the eye.
Pay attention to the shifting arena. Otherwise you can fall, taking fall damage at best, dying and starting over at worst.
If you see one of the tiles glowing red, don't stand on it - keep to the white and gray ones. Glowing hexes are about to move.
The purple laser attack is a great opportunity to deal a lot of damage to the boss. Shoot at the eye and sprint straight at the boss when the beam gets close. This move can be avoided by moving in a square pattern.
The Custodian's Eye can also shift the arena making only the edges safe. It will then start spinning while emitting three red lasers. If they're far away, you can shoot at the eye. When they get close, you have two options: jump over to the other platform or stand at the very edge and dodge to the other end of the floor you're on. This should keep you out of the pit and out of the harm's way.
If the boss fires blue lasers, just run away. You won't have a safe opportunity to attack it, so focus on evading instead. The lasers are fast and the arena can be constantly shifting. Focus on observing, not shooting - you'll have better opportunities to damage The Custodian's Eye.
As is often the case, whenever reinforcements arrive, you should prioritize them. The enemies don't have much health, so you'll get rid of them quickly. They also drop some well-needed ammo refills.
If the hexagonal tiles start rising up, this means the boss is about to sweep a horizontal red laser, twice. Hide behind the hexes if you can, and if you can't, quickly dodge twice in a row.
