You will find the boss in this room. After it fully appears, it will roam left and right while flailing its long tentacles at you. You are safe from the tentacles as long as you remain on the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, that won't give you a very good chance to hit the boss' only weak point, the mouth, unless you have a fully powered up gun which can pass right through the creature and strike its mouth. If you do, remain at the bottom of the screen, and fire upwards as quickly as you can. It will take a little while, but you should be able to destroy the boss without ever putting Jason at risk. The gun will even destroy the small bullets fired by the boss. If you ''don't'' have a fully powered gun, you're going to have to take more of a chance. Getting closer and pumping the mouth of the boss with grenades is a dangerous, but effective way to eliminate the boss quickly. You'll have to remain in step with the boss, correcting your position before facing up again and tossing more grenades until they are no long striking the boss. Either way, once you defeat the boss, you will obtain the Crusher Beam, allowing you to destroy the blocks that line the bottom of certain walls throughout the area. | You will find the boss in this room.

Alternatively, you can take the easy solution and use the Pause Trick. This boss (and any other boss vulnerable to grenades) can be destroyed easily by firing a grenade and pressing start while the boss is taking damage. The game pauses but the boss continues to take damage from the grenade. This makes the boss one of the easiest in the game. | |||
