How to Beat Giant Squid in Dave the Diver
While being enormous, you can defeat the Giant squid in Dave the Diver by shooting its eyeball three to five times. But as simple as it sounds, the squid has a couple of attacks and moves up its tentacles. So, before starting the boss fight, make sure to stock up with enough rifle ammo, air capsules, and refills. Note that as the Giant squid is at a greater normal depth underwater, you can lose oxygen if you approach too close to the monster. Since you can also lose oxygen if you get hit by its attacks, we recommend equipping a ranged weapon to beat the giant squid.
So, here are all the squid’s moves and attack patterns:
Popping Tentacles
Soon as you enter the Giant Squid’s lair, you will be attacked by two of its tentacles popping from the ground. You can recognize and time this attack by noticing some dust before the monster throws this attack. When you notice the dust, swim Dave away to save yourself from the damage. Once you get a grasp of this attack’s timing, use it to get close and attack its eyeball.
Spewing Squid Ink
You can expect this attack when you get too close to the Giant Squid. If you are low on oxygen, this attack can deal some damage. You can grab some Swimming boosts to get out of the way immediately. For stocking up some supplies quickly, you can pick x8 Basic Underwater Rifle ammo from nearby.
Tentacle Smack
After hitting its eyeball from close range, the squid can melee-smack you with one of its massive tentacles. If you Dave’s hit by this attack, you can lose major oxygen. As the incoming attack will be too fast, swimming boosts might not help you to get out of range. So, we recommend avoiding close-range combat with the giant squid.
