- Trunch's head is acidic, dealing extra damage to Biological parts.
Phases:
- Trunch attacks in a sequence: Head, Arm, Arm, Legs.
- If a limb is knocked off, the next in the sequence takes its place.
- If Trunch is out of energy (less than 8), it will Recharge or Dodge.
Strategy:
- Part Quality: Aim for around 75% Quality for your level 4 secondary ingredients.
- Torso: Choose a torso with decent Health and Energy (around 500 HP and 50 Energy or better).
- Head Strategy:
- Option 1: Use a strong head attack (like Skullcracker) to destroy Trunch's head in 2-3 hits.
- Option 2: Use Alchemical parts to mitigate acid damage to your Biological parts.
- Option 3: Use Mechanical parts if you plan to sacrifice them.
- Arms: Your arms are vulnerable; use them effectively. Be aware Trunch can block.
- Legs: Your legs are the least vulnerable. Choose parts that can Block, attack legs, or the whole body.
- End Game: When Trunch reaches its legs phase, constantly Dodge to learn its blocking pattern before attacking.
- Post-Battle: Defeating Trunch yields the Opanim Head and potentially the rare Dragon Egg ingredient.
- Alternative Method (Attack Denial): Use 1-2 parts to Disable all limbs except the torso. Supplement with an Accurate limb that hits all parts, even during a Dodge. Consider using lower-level non-torso parts (level 2 or 3) to reduce energy consumption.
- Alternative Method (Attrition): Use one Accurate part that attacks the entire body and the rest Slippery parts. Attack only when Trunch recharges or dodges, and Dodge otherwise. This method is very time-consuming (+10 minutes).
