If you have grenades, this is also effective. Just jump on the trampolines and throw grenades in his head like a basketball. His moving higher makes this easier as well. If you have particularly good aim, you could use the grenade rounds from the assault rifle as well. However any other explosives, (remote mines, proximity mines) will not work Thus limiting your range. This is very effective as far as damage is concerned, but you also have to be careful not to die by falling, or bolts. You will also be subjected to portals here as well.

===~~Travel all the portals first method~~===

===Hide and Shoot===

If you purposely go into all three rooms that you are transported to through Nithalinth's portals, you will be able to collect ammo and then not have to worry about dodging the portals later on. Once you have been to all three rooms, take the portal for a forth and last time, this time using the rocket launcher and then gluon gun to take out the waiting gargantua. Bounce up into the portal and return to Nithalinth. Now destroy all three crystals (crossbow works best, only two bolts per crystal) and he will now take damage. You will now only have to avoid the electricity he shoots. Keep shooting from the cover of a spike (will take only a minute or two, green slime will show it is working) until his head opens. When this happens, he will only be able to shoot one ball of electricity at a time, so you will be much safer. Bounce up and fire explosives, e.g. from ~~machine gun~~, into his open brain. I found this much easier than even the "Jump shot method", as although essentially the same, there is no need to avoid portals, as they will be done and dusted.

When this happens, he will only be able to shoot one ball of electricity at a time, so you will be much safer. Bounce up and fire explosives, e.g. from the MP5, into his open brain. It can be done in only one bounce up if you fire grenades quickly enough.
