How To Defeat Steel Eel
Target The Salmonids On Its Tail To Knock It Out
Steel Eel is a Boss Salmonid that can be defeated by attacking the Salmonids on its tail. Make sure to aim only for the Salmonids on the tail when defeating them, as attacks on all other parts will be repelled
Don't Fight It In Tight Spaces
When fighting in a one-way street or in a narrow area, there are often cases where Steel Eel targets and surrounds you. Try to get to a wide area then aim for the tail from a safe distance or get on top of a high place and barrage it with attacks to defeat it.
