Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Caterpillar's primary weakness is its segmented body. Attacking specific segments can disrupt its movement and expose vulnerabilities.
• It is susceptible to rapid attacks, so consistent damage output is key.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Ground Assault - The Caterpillar will primarily attack by burrowing and emerging from different points on the ground, as well as spitting projectiles. Focus on dodging its ground attacks and hitting it when it surfaces.
2. Phase 2: Projectile Barrage - The Caterpillar will increase its projectile attacks, firing them in patterns. Look for openings between volleys to deal damage.
3. Phase 3: Enraged State - In its final phase, the Caterpillar will become more aggressive, with faster attacks and more complex patterns. Maintain focus on dodging and exploit any brief moments of vulnerability.

Strategy:

• Utilize Jot's abilities to quickly reposition and dodge the Caterpillar's attacks.
• Target the glowing segments of the Caterpillar when they appear, as these are critical weak points.
• Be patient and don't overcommit to attacks; wait for clear openings to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
• If the Caterpillar burrows, anticipate its emergence point and be ready to strike.
