Step-by-Step Guide

1
blasting a Stone Talus
You'll be equipped with the Frost Emitter and Cannon Zonai devices for your secondary weapons in this flight battle, as well as the Shock Emitter to enhance your dodges. A Rocket can also be picked up near the beginning of the fight and used instead of either of the starting devices.

The Cannon should be mainly used for blasting the Stone Taluses underground, while the Frost Emitter or Rocket are for taking out the smaller mobs.
*
Rock Octoroks attacking from the background
Watch out for Rock Octoroks along the cave walls as they can catch you off guard with their rock projectiles. Prepare to dodge their attacks every time you see a red flash in the background.
2
stone wall
Make sure to always have the Cannon equipped as you will eventually run into a breakable wall that can be easily cleared by a Cannon shot.
3
Black Hinox guarding the outpost
At the end of the flight, you'll be thrown into a fight with a horde led by a Black Hinox. Defeat it to capture the outpost and complete the Battle.
