the boss also has three additional attack patterns. asides from spawning minions

1. a tentacle swipe that kills anything inside the area between tentacles, triggered by being inside the attack range and damaging the eyes/mouth.

2. a Lazer pillar attack that homes in on your main robot, that gets triggered more often if you are attacking the left eye. this is easily avoided as an attack indicator follows you around letting you know where the beam initially lands. It is possible to damage the boss or its tentacles by kiting the beam towards them.

3. a tentacle poke attack that lands a second or two after the shadow appears on the ground and squishes anything there. a little bit harder to spot if you aren't paying attention. like the lazer pillar attack, it triggers more if you attack the right eye.
