Use L2 to Drop Special Objects on the Enemy or Drop the Enemy from the Ceiling

Charge up your Psychokinesis bar and lead Gunkin Fisher under the Special Objects hanging above and press L2 to drop them on Gunkin Perry. Doing so will deal a huge amount of damage to the enemy.

Likewise, you can do this when Gunkin Fisher scales up the ceiling. Once the L2 prompt shows up, take down the ceiling entirely along with the enemy.

Break its Shell Using Sclerokinesis and Activate Brain Drive

Gunkin Fisher has a large Crush Gauge. Break its shell to activate Brain Drive. Brain Drive enables you to deal a massive amount of damage to the enemy, so enter Brain Drive as often as you can.

Fill Up Your Psychokinesis Bar for When Gunkin Fisher Climbs to the Ceiling

You will not be able to do melee attacks on Gunkin Fisher once it is up the ceiling. You will have to resort to using your Psychokinesis abilities to throw objects at it to deal damage.

We recommend filling up your Psychokinesis bar as often as you can.

Get it Covered in Oil and Use Pyrokinesis on the Enemy

Once you get Gunkin Fisher covered in oil, use Pyrokinesis on it to maximize your damage output.
