If you’re a fan of survival video games, Stranded Deep may be the one. The survival video game was developed and published by Australian studio Beam Team Games in the past years and has a pretty large fan base. We must admit, it seems like a classic survival-themed game at first (plane crash and more), but when you play for a while, you realize the difference thanks to its extensive content. Speaking of which, players sometimes do not know what to do in the game; therefore, a variety of guides is needed. This guide will show you how to beat Lusca The Great (Giant Squid) in Stranded Deep.
How To Beat Lusca The Great (Giant Squid) in Stranded Deep
If you’ve reached the finish line of Stranded Deep‘s story full of challenges, you know what you have to do. In order for the old plane to be ready for flight and to be able to join civilization again, you need to repair it. This requires three special pieces, each guarded by one of the game’s most powerful bosses: Lusca The Great (Giant Squid). You must have a plan to defeat it, or it’ll not pity you in any way and will finish you off.
Thanks to The Gamer, players now have tips to follow to defeat this overgrown octopus. Definitely keep the following in mind if you want to take it down and get the parts needed to fix the plane.
-
- He has the most health of all the bosses
- His spawning location is random
- No raft is safe
- Bring plenty of ammo – Lusca’s health bar is ridiculously large when compared to the other bosses that are much larger than it. You’ve to use them all.
- He’s not aggressive at first
- His attacks are simple
- There is a cheat option – If you pull up in a raft that’s 3×3 or use the inflatable one you start with and wedge it onto the buoy then for some reason the boss’s AI struggles to find you. This then allows you to take cheap shots at Lusca without him being able to hit you.
- Keep your back to the Buoy – Hanging out near it will cause him to just circle around and around without ever attacking you.
- Bring a bed – One of the odd bugs that can help you in the fight is being able to make a checkpoint above the boss if you bring along a bed.
- Use the right weapon – The Speargun or Refined Spear
