|
Collect all items before fighting
Immediately pick up all the items and ammo behind you because you won't be able to return to this area after defeating the Pesanta. Once you've collected all the items, start focusing on its head and shoot it with your TMP or Rifle.
The area is spacious enough for you to kite the Pesanta without getting too close. Keep circling around the area while dealing damage with your powerful weapons. However, make sure to save your Arrows and Grenades for the second phase.
Use Flash Grenades to Stun Pesanta
Use your Flash Grenades to stun Pesanta giving you an opportunity to perform Grapple Melee attacks on it. This will save you bullets and the recover period from the melee attack gives you a bigger window to rain bullets on it.

Be Mindful of Your Surroundings
After dealing enough damage to the Pesanta, its tail will detach from the main body, triggering Phase 2 of the boss fight. You will now be in an area much larger than in Phase 1. Use this to your advantage and maintain your distance. Additionally, the Pesanta will sometimes spawn bombs on the floor that explode on contact. Try to move away from these bombs as much as possible.
Keep Distance and Focus on Orange Target
Continue to keep your distance while waiting for the tail to become upright. Once it is still, look for the glowing wound on its chest and use your Blast Crossbow or Rifle to shoot it. Keep repeating this cycle until you defeat it.
