Gilgamesh Boss Fight Tips
Cripple Gilgamesh By Attacking Its Legs
Gilgamesh is slow, and will have spots that you can use to cripple it on its legs. Use this to weaken it enough so that it will lower its back for you to climb onto. You can also grapple onto these legs to get up Gilgamesh's back!
Focus On The Soft Spot On Its Back
Gilgamesh's weak spot is a red spot located on its back. Whenever you get the chance, head onto its back to deal a significant amount of damage to Gilgamesh.
Get Off Its Back Before It Attacks With Spikes
Despite having a weak spot, Gilgamesh will protect itself when you get on its back. It will telegraph its attack when the surface of its back starts to bubble and morph. Get off its back in order to avoid getting hit by its spikes!
Avoid Projectiles Gilgamesh Fires At You
Gilgamesh will also have antennae that take aim at you. When you see it firing up, get ready to dodge several bullets coming straight for you.
