So, fighting Rotjaw in Hunt Showdown 1896 not like the usual boss fight. This one’s got a quick banish thing going on, half the time of others, and you get just one boss token when it’s done. Big thing to remember, you gotta keep moving, no standing still, cause you can’t stun this beast. Dodging is your best friend here cause every swing or shot you take eats up your stamina.
Locating the Rotjaw
Alright, to find this Rotjaw, you gotta dive into Dark Sight mode. Look for clues that don’t look like the others, these are special for Rotjaw, always hanging around water. Touch one, and it points you to where the boss is chilling. Take that hint, draw a line on your map through any water nearby, and bam, you’re on your way to finding Rotjaw.
Rotjaw’s Attack Patterns
Rotjaw’s got a few tricks up its sleeve – four main attacks. First, there’s this biting thing where you see bubbles coming at you, that’s your cue to move. Then it’s got this charge attack; if you hear a growl and see bubbles, it’s about to rush you, so step aside. The swim attack’s rare but simple, just keep away.
The real kicker is this electric puddle attack it pulls when it’s down to half health. It slows you down, cuts your health, and messes with your stamina, so keep your eyes peeled and feet ready to move.
How to Defeat the Rotjaw
Dealing with Rotjaw comes down to dodging and hitting at the right time. When it growls, get ready to sidestep. And if you’re not into getting up close during its purge phase, just shoot from a distance or make a run for it.
Want to down it fast? Sneak up with a big dynamite bundle or get in close with melee weapons but save your stamina shots for this. Teamwork’s key here, especially if you’re going melee – just remember not to aim for the mouth, that’s asking for trouble.
Prep’s important too. Pop a stamina shot for endurance, get ‘Gator Legs’ to move faster in water, and ‘Marine Repair’ to heal up quick if you’re taking a swim. It’s all about staying on your toes and keeping your health up while you dodge and weave through Rotjaw’s attacks.
