How do you beat the Sea Spider in Armored Core VI? We’ve got all the information you need to take down this tough foe.
How to defeat the Sea Spider in Armored Core 6
The Sea Spider is a particularly aggressive boss found at the end of the mission Ocean Crossing. While there’s no one way right way to beat this spider, this is what we’d recommend:
- Use a mobile mech
- Stay at mid-range
- Use grenade launchers
These tactics will help make the boss battle a bit easier and are the best strategy for taking down this beast.
Using a mobile mech
The Sea Spider boss has a few main attacks that you need to watch out for; the Double Laser Shot, Charged Laser, and Melee Slam Attack. You need to be able to dodge these attacks well or else the Sea Spider will take you down incredibly quickly.
Having a mobile mech allows you to dodge the attacks well so that you aren’t taking tons of damage, because the Sea Spider will take a lot of damage itself before even making a dent in its health bar. This is not a boss that you can overpower by just standing around and launching firepower at it.
Staying at mid-range
Staying at medium range will allow you the time to dodge the attacks while also not being far enough away that your attacks do less damage. That means weapons like shotguns will not be as helpful in this boss battle. Try using a turret to take it down instead.
It will also keep you distant from its most dangerous attack, the Melee Slam Attack. The Sea Spider will slam its front legs down in a deadly AoE attack. Unless you want to use up a ton of repair kits, we’d recommend keeping your distance during this attack.
Using grenade launchers
Grenade Launcher or Grenade Cannons are great while attached to the shoulders of your mech because they fill up the boss’s stagger gauge. Songbirds are great for shoulder weapons, as they fire powerful rockets at the Sea Spider that you can use simultaneously. You will definitely want to use them as one of the best builds to take down the Sea Spider boss.
Tips for Sea Spider battle in Armored Core 6
The Sea Spider fight is a particularly tough battle to do, as the boss comes at you with full force and combat remains at a high speed for the entire fight. It can be a massive threat if you’re not prepared. That’s why the tips above will help you successfully beat the metal monstrosity so you can continue to upgrade your mech and move forward to the next main mission.
