DJ Octavio Battle Phase 1
- When DJ Octavio shoots his steel fists at you, back away, dodge them, whatever you have to do to get out of the line of fire.
- Once you’re out of the way, shoot at the fists with your ink repeatedly until they turn around and fly back in the opposite direction to get closer to beating DJ Octavio and deal damage to him instead.
- Now DJ Octavio will use his Drill Punch. Get out of the way as fast as possible. Another option is to merge with the paint in your squid form!
- When you dodge the Drill Punch, it will force the Drill hand to get stuck in the floor. This is perfect. Now you need to shoot it with ink, like the steel fists, until it flies back toward DJ Octavio and damages him rather than you.
- He’ll end up launching the steel fists at you a couple more times. Just battle them the same way you did the first time, and you’re good to go.
- Once DJ Octavio has taken enough damage, he will fall from his mecha-suit. When he is on the ground, shoot him. Now, you are on your way to beating DJ Octavio. This will shove you into Phase 2.
Battle Phase 2
- Now, Dj Octavio will start to suck up the ink. He’ll also keep throwing his steel fists and drill punch at you. Keep fighting back as you did in Phase 1. You’ll have beat DJ Octavio in no time.
- Throw your Smallfry into the air that DJ Octavio is sucking up, and it will deal damage.
- After you get closer to beating DJ Octavio and he’s taken more damage, your Smallfry will fall back out of his mech and return to you.
- Follow these steps one more time. Once your Smallfry falls back out of DJ Octavio’s mech one more time, you can shoot the DJ. This is the end of Phase 2.
Battle Phase 3
- Now that you’ve angered the heck out of DJ Octavio get ready for Phase 3!
- Now when DJ Octavio launches blows at you, they will radiate circles of purple ink. You will have to jump over these to avoid getting hit by them.
- Every time DJ Octavio shoots his hands at you, keep shooting back at them with your ink. Once you’ve shot them back enough times, Octavio will fall out of his mech again.
- Shoot him once he is on the ground, and end the battle.
