How to Defeat Wako Tako in Astro Bot

Once you have completed the rest of the level, you’ll face Wako Tako, the gigantic octopus. Keep dodging the punches Wako Tako throws at you. When its fists get stuck in the ground, seize the moment to strike back by alternating between L2 and R2. Additionally, you will need to take out the spiky enemies it sends your way.

Wait for the boss’s fists to become lodged again, and keep using your boxing gloves to hit it. Grip tightly onto its suckers and slingshot into its face. Time your jumps to avoid the spiky urchins Wako Tako hurls at you. Trick the boss into punching the ink that’s spilled on the ground, which will help immobilize its fists again, providing you with extra time to attack.

Utilize your frog gloves power-up effectively, and then slingshot into Wako Tako’s face one last time to finish the first phase of the battle.

As the second phase begins, make your way closer to Wako Tako using the platforms. Jump over the waves it sends your way and continue advancing on the platforms. Keep an eye on the shadows cast by the balls it throws to dodge them successfully. You will need to avoid Wako Tako’s attacks strategically and wait until it lowers its head.

When it’s vulnerable, strike its eye using L2 and R2. Repeat this until Wako Tako is stunned. Finally, slingshot into its face one last time to take it down.
