Mantis Shrimp boss fight

Mantis Shrimp is an optional boss in a side cave. Its punch attack is one of the fastest telegraphed strikes in the game; cave terrain shapes the fight.

  • Punch attack has minimal wind-up — start dodging the moment the boss rears back.
  • Use cave walls to break line of sight and force the boss to reposition.
  • Bring high single-shot damage; the damage window is short.

Boss mechanics

Mantis Shrimp alternates between a punch attack and a cave-defense stomp that sends shockwaves. The punch covers a straight line; the stomp hits in a radius around the boss.

  • Punch: straight-line, dodge sideways
  • Stomp: radial shockwave, swim up or away
  • Cave walls block line of sight

Strategy tips

Punish the punch recovery with single-shot high-damage hits. Stay above the boss when it stomps so the shockwave passes beneath you. Bring extra oxygen because the cave layout makes exits slow.

  • Single-shot high damage
  • Stay above during stomp
  • Extra oxygen for cave exits
