Maws swims underneath the ink chasing after a player. When a green circle appears, then it's preparing to attack so make sure to avoid or it will swallow you whole!
The Maws can still attack players riding the Ink Cannons during the Cohock Charge Known Occurrence, so make sure you get out of the cannon if you see the Maws' telltale green circle appear near you!

How to Defeat Maws | |
---|---|
You can splat the Maws in one hit by throwing a bomb within the green circle before it erupts from the ink. The Boss Salmonid will then swallow the bomb and explode, which will also cover a wide area with your team's ink!
You can also ink the Maws' body when it breaches from the ink, though it will take several shots before it splats due to the Boss Salmonid's high HP.
This strategy is only useful if there are more dangerous Boss Salmonids in the area or can't get a clear shot of the green circle. Splatting it with a bomb is still the best method of dealing with this dangerous foe!
