    NoHeroes94+1.

    Few things.

    Firstly, do this after getting all abilities, and have level launch up to the max. Makes it much easier. Make sure you take the control point by the last mold sample. Due to a questionable checkpoint system, you have to get past 6 level 9 enemies EVERY time you die to get back to Mold-1. This control point is called "Active Threshold", and is right above the pit. Run past the enemies, you don't need to take them out each time.

    An additional tip, if you hug behind the big rock immediately to the right as you descend into the boss arena itself, you should be largely covered from receiving damage and can use the launch ability to launch the ceiling rocks t the heads, or use pierce weapon form when you run out (charge behind cover and dip out to fire) until Mold-1 has approx. 1/3 health. At this point, the boss will start poisoning the floor so you'll have to move. Levitate constantly and get up in his face, unloading Pierce into the main head AS he is shooting the missiles. There is no benefit to keeping your distance, in my opinion. Use the shield ability if you don't feel comfortable evading the boss' grabs.

    DrWatsonBSIThe video skips mold sample E. This is found on the floor of the pit area by a desk

    JdobemDefinitely. This needs more visibility.
    I thought I was never gonna beat that boss but the above method works amazing.
    Pierce max damage and strong shield was all I needed. So quick too. I barely made it like the video. Lol

    iamtheguyver007There’s a control point right next to the hole you jump down into to fight the boss called Active Threshold Sublevel, so you don’t have to fight those level 9 enemies again.

    FireDrake007I had numerous tries but I finally got it after using grip with 3 Level 5 damage boosts along with launching explosive rocks at it.
