You're not at the beginning of the game anymore and the bosses are starting to get more difficult, but this is still pretty doable. To start with, the monster acts just like a Warrior Ing. First get a scan, then start shooting the monster with the charged Light beam whenever it's in Ing form. Eventually it turns red and drops the Ing form,  alternating between its liquid form a Morph Ball form which uses a Boost ability to bounce around the room. You can't damage it in either of these forms, but if you drop bombs in its path in liquid form you will eventually force to switch back to it's Ing form. Avoiding the puddle of liquid can be tricky, but not impossible, however the Boost Ball attack is fast and hard to dodge. Fortunately, the monster doesn't seem to be able to aim these attacks so with a bit of luck you won't take much damage from them.

One way to avoid the Boost Ball attacks is to switch out of Morph Ball form yourself and do Space Jumps to stay out of reach.


When in liquid form the monster will spawn Inglets which is actually a good thing, since they drop refills when you defeat them. There are pillars here as well and the monster destroys them when it collides with them in a Boost Ball attack, and you can get energy refills this way too. There are no safe zones in this battle, so defeat the Inglets when you see them collect the refills if they appear.
