We recommend only targeting the tentacles if they're an easier target to hit. To quickly get through this phase of the fight and take down the Leviathan, prioritize dealing damage toward the Necromorph's central mouth. Prioritize the Central Mouth in Phase ThreeĪfter dealing enough damage to the Leviathan in Phase Two, it begins using tentacle and bomb pod attacks simultaneously while releasing toxic gas that drains Isaac's oxygen meter. When the Leviathan exposes its central mouth following these bomb pod attacks, focus your fire toward the sack in its gullet to deal damage to the massive Necromorph. In particular, we recommend throwing back the first, third, and fifth pods, as these will collide with bomb pods about to leave the Leviathan's mouth, dealing additional damage. Use Kinesis to throw the pods back at the Leviathan's mouth to clear them from the room while dealing damage. Deal with Bomb Pods in Phase TwoĪfter dealing with the first three tentacles, the Leviathan starts spitting bomb pods toward Isaac. You can also use the nearby explosive canisters to deal damage while conserving ammo. Strafe sideways to avoid these attacks and shoot at the cluster near the base of the tentacles to take them down. In the first phase of the fight, the Leviathan primarily thrusts at Isaac with its tentacles. Doing this removes the stress of picking items up and managing your inventory during the Leviathan fight. Since the boss fight doesn't start until you begin flying around in zero gravity, you can pick up the drops around the Leviathan's boss arena with Kinesis. Grab Loot with Kinesis Before Starting the Fight To round out your loadout for the fight, consider also taking the Line Gun and Contact Beam due to their damage output and accuracy at medium to long ranges. When fighting the Leviathan, we recommend using the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle due to their consistent damage output, accurate shots, and adequate ammo capacity, which are all excellent against the Leviathan's constantly-switching weak points.

Prioritize Using the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle

Doing this will increase your chances of taking the Leviathan down and ensure you have enough healing and firepower to get through the fight. Before starting the Leviathan fight, stock up on resources at the nearby Store in the Hydroponics Central Hub and upgrade your weapons at the Bench in the West Vats Maintenance Room.
