Freeze Tyrant To Make It An Easy Target

Freeze Tyrant To Make It An Easy Target

The Tyrant will constantly chase you and breathe fire to damage you from afar. However, you can freeze him in place using a cryo weapon! This will stop it from moving, allowing you to better focus fire on it.

Grabbing the Wires Causes You To Fight For Your Life

GenIVIV - Boss Battle Tips

Bring Shock & Corrosive Weapons

Bring Shock & Corrosive Weapons

GenIVIV's health bars are composed of a shield bar and an armor bar. In order to make quick work of this enemy, it is recommended to bring a shock weapon to decimate her its shields, and a corrosive weapon to melt its armor.

Bouncing Balls Can Be Destroyed

GenIVIV will also throw out Bouncing Balls. These balls can deal damage to you and can overwhelm you if not dealt with. Shoot at these balls to destroy them immediately.

Will Summon GenIONs to Harass You

Will Summon GenIONs to Harass You

GenIVIV will summon small GenIONs to harass you during the fight. You can pay no mind to these enemies as they don't do much damage. However, you can use them to gain a second wind if you ever fall in battle.

Shoot Down Floating Drones

Shoot Down Floating Drones

GenIVIV will also summon drones to aid her. These drones fire at you during certain intervals. They can deal a lot of damage if they aren't dealt with as soon as possible so shoot them down as soon as they appear.
