Tentacles

Overview

Tentacles is the first boss in the game. He has 1200 HP.

Phase 1

Tentacles hides underwater and summons mini tentacle enemies that you need to shoot. After ~1-3 seconds of not being shot, a mini tentacle will turn pink. If you still neglect to shoot it, it will come up close to your ship and try to deal DMG. Trying to shoot them in this state will still do DMG to the boss, but it will not make the tentacle go away. In order to make it go away, you have to do a crit strike with your paddle (3rd hit or time a spin on the sound effect.) When they are at half health, they will come out of the water and spit out 10-15 Slurgs. While he is above the water, he is open to attack for large damage. After a while, he will go back under the water, and Phase 2 will start.

Phase 2

Tentacles will spawn mini tentacle enemies around your boat in the same manner as Phase 1. However, every ~20 seconds he will pop out of the water and fire Slurgs and Albino Slurgs, increasing in amount each time. After you kill him, he will drop a chest with 3 Tendrils and grant you passage to the first Siren lake.
