Tentaculus is a boss that appears in Serious Sam: The Random Encounter.
Overview[]
Tentaculus is a massive, bluish-green worm-like creature that is armed with many tentacles. Its mouth consist of several smaller mouths that will spawn a swarm of Reeban Electro-Fish.
Appearances[]
Tentaculus is encountered in Sewers.
Behavior and skills[]
Tentaculus will try to damage the player by swinging its tentacles to the upper or lower part of the screen. The player will be safe while they're in the middle, but it will also open its mouths to spawn a swarm of Reeban Electro-Fish. It also uses its tentacles to periodically shield itself from incoming bullets, making it a tough boss fight.
Tactics[]
- Tentaculus can take a lot of damage before it is killed. The player should kill it after they get the keys to the exit of World 2-3, so they won't have to kill it again.
- Avoid its tentacles by staying in the center part of the screen.
- Its tentacle shield can be bypassed by a Grenade Launcher, as the projectile is lobbed from above instead of fired directly at it.
