Tips and Strategies

Use Obstacles to Your Advantage

The Thunderjaw's arsenal of ranged attacks have plenty of bells and whistles, but it's in the melee department where it really and literally stomps. Even if you try to get away, the Thunderjaw is both faster and bigger than you. You'll have a much harder time handling it if you attempt battle in the open desert instead of using the nearby building for protection.

Although it's true that the Thunderjaw can tear through walls like paper, a lot of the time, it simply won't. It will often use its basic laser attacks which can't penetrate the walls, allowing you to kite it effectively. Keep Acid inflicted on it throughout the fight and Concentrate on its forehead, a constantly vulnerable weak spot. Note that Acid doesn't increase damage to already-vulnerable weak spots, but it will gradually inflict damage over time.

Run Away from the Corruptors

You will have allies you can depend on to help you against the Corruptors. They have heavy weapons that will deal tons of damage against the 2 Corruptors. Just focus on running away from them to save resources. Also, you can try to get the last shot on them to earn more XP.

Collect All the Loot

Since the area will not be available afterwards, it's better to explore every room and corner of the place to get valuable resources and craftable materials. You can use your Focus to find and get them easily.
