How to Defeat the Leviathan Boss in Dead Space Remake: To In V8sji2

Struggling with the Leviathan boss in Dead Space (Remake)? Follow this guide to learn the best strategies for dodging tentacles, destroying sacks, and taking down this massive foe.

Alright, so you've made it to Chapter 6 and the Food Storage room. Get ready, because you're about to come face-to-face with the Leviathan. It looks pretty intimidating, I know, but don't sweat it – this fight is more straightforward than it seems. Let's break it down.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Leviathan has three tentacles that it will deploy from its body.
• Each tentacle has a destructible orange sack.
• Its mouth opens to fire explosive sacks at you.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Tentacle Takedown

   First things first, when you enter the zero-gravity arena, hang out on the edge for a sec. Use your Kinesis to grab any nearby Ammo or Med Packs – you'll want them. Now, the Leviathan will start by sending out three tentacles from different openings. Listen for its sound cue, then quickly dodge left or right to avoid getting hit. Once a tentacle is out, you'll see a bright orange sack at its base. You need to destroy these. The easiest way is to grab an explosive barrel with Kinesis and chuck it at the sack, or if you've got the Contact Beam, a few shots should do it. Take out all three tentacles to move on.

2. Phase 2: Mouth Offensive & Oxygen Depletion

   After you've dealt with the tentacles, the Leviathan's mouth will open, and it'll start spitting explosive sacks at you. Your job here is to grab these sacks with Kinesis and launch them right back into its mouth. This is your main damage window. But be warned: your suit's oxygen will start depleting, and you'll have to deal with both the tentacles and the explosive sacks simultaneously. Don't waste time shooting the tentacles; just keep dodging them. Focus on shooting the first two explosive sacks, then use Kinesis to grab the third and fire it back into the Leviathan's mouth. Keep repeating this pattern. You can also use the Contact Beam to chip away at its mouth when you get the chance. Keep this up, and you'll eventually take it down.

Strategy:

• Always grab ammo and med packs from the edges of the arena before the fight starts.
• Listen for the Leviathan's audio cues to time your dodges effectively.
• Use Kinesis to grab explosive barrels or the Leviathan's own explosive sacks for maximum damage.
• Prioritize dodging tentacles in Phase 2 and focus fire on the explosive sacks.
• The Contact Beam is effective for damaging the Leviathan's mouth directly when it's exposed.
