Dead Space Remake is full of hideous and terrifying bosses that can frustrate you endlessly. Leviathan also falls under the same category. Many who played the original Dead Space remember how grueling this particular battle was. However, we plan to simplify things a bit. In this guide, we will show you how to defeat Leviathan in Dead Space Remake.
Leviathan Combat Guide: Dead Space Remake
You will first encounter Leviathan in the sixth chapter “Environmental Peril”in the hydroponic food storage area. In this room, you will have to use weightlessness, as well as look for resources in the form of ammunition and explosive canisters. Like other boss fights, this one will also be divided into three phases. To start the fight, just get closer to the bottom. This will wake up the giant Necromorph boss Leviathan.
Phase 1
In the first phase of the fight, the Leviathan will throw out its tentacles to attack you. You need to dodge these attacks by getting to the other side. Once you dodge it, use your weapon to attack the glowing pouches on the Leviathan’s limbs. The best weapon you can use here is either the Plasma Cutter or the Canon Beam. Rinse and repeat until you have destroyed those ugly yellow pouches. You will now enter the second phase of this boss fight.
Phase 2
In the second stage, the boss will spew explosive projectiles at you. If you want to defeat the Leviathan in Dead Space Remake, you should aim for its mouth as often as possible. This phase is pretty easy as you will just need to aim the projectiles back at the Leviathan’s mouth. You can do this using your Kinesis abilities. Just keep repeating the same method and you’ll activate phase 3. Alternatively, if you can’t catch the projectiles, just hold the explosive canisters and launch them into the Leviathan’s mouth.
Phase 3
The final stage is without a doubt the most difficult, as the Leviathan will regenerate its tentacles as well as release a poisonous cloud in the area. Now he will use both attacks at the same time. Don’t make the mistake of starting with the tentacles as you won’t have enough time to kill the Leviathan. Since your oxygen level will drop rapidly, aim for the mouth first. Either use your kinesis abilities or throw explosive canisters that float nearby. Don’t forget to dodge these attacks as it’s just as important. Keep repeating this until you throw the Leviathan into space.
That’s it, now you have successfully learned how to defeat Leviathan in Dead Space Remake. More tips and tricks like these can be found in our Dead Space Remake section.
