Astro Bot Wako Tako Boss Guide: Rewards and Location

The Tentacle System Galaxy in Astro Bot presents players with a challenging boss fight against Wako Tako, a formidable octopus adversary. This guide provides detailed strategies to locate, battle, and defeat Wako Tako, as well as the rewards awaiting victorious players.

Locating Wako Tako in Astro Bot

Before facing off against this tentacled terror, players must meet specific requirements to access the boss fight.

To reach Wako Tako’s planet in the Tentacle System Galaxy, players need to rescue 60 Bots throughout their journey. Once this milestone is achieved, the path to the boss encounter becomes available.

Upon entering Wako Tako’s planet, players must make their way to the end of the first island. There, a slingshot awaits to launch them onto a smaller nearby island where the boss battle begins.

Overcoming Wako Tako grants players valuable rewards:

• VIP Bots: Rescue the Boy and Dad of Boy, inspired by God of War’s Atreus and Kratos.
• New Area: Unlock the adjacent planet, Bot of War, for further exploration.

How to Defeat Wako Tako in Astro Bot?

Defeating Wako Tako requires skill, timing, and an understanding of its weak points. The battle is divided into two distinct phases, each with its own challenges.

Phase 1: Island Showdown

The first phase of the battle takes place on the small island. Here’s how to tackle it:

1. Attack Wako Tako’s Gloves: After its tentacle attacks, target the gloves. Hit them twice to stun the boss.
2. Pull Wako Tako’s Tentacles: Use the Frog Gloves to pull both tentacles when Wako Tako is stunned. Launch yourself towards its face for a powerful blow.
3. Target the Head: While Wako Tako is unconscious, attack both sides of its head to complete the first phase.

Phase 2: Shrunken Battlefield

After the first phase, Wako Tako retreats, revealing a series of platforming challenges. Navigate these quickly to reach the second battle area.

1. Follow Wako Tako: Use the Frog Gloves to swing across ledges, avoiding the rising tsunami.
2. Adapt to Smaller Space: The second battle area is more confined, making dodging attacks trickier.
3. Target the Eyes: When Wako Tako lowers its eyes to search for you, attack them. Do this twice to stagger the boss.
4. Deliver the Final Blow: Use the Frog Gloves to pull both eyes and launch Wako Tako into the air, ending the battle.

Wako Tako’s Attack Patterns

Understanding Wako Tako’s moves is crucial for survival. Here are its main attacks and how to counter them:

First Phase Attacks

• Targeted Tentacle Punch: Keep moving to avoid the following punches, then strike the glove.
• Enemy Drop: Wait for enemies to gather, then use a charged attack.
• Underground Tentacle Punch: Watch the ground trail and dodge, then attack the last tentacle.
• Urchin Roll: Run away from rolling urchins rather than jumping.
• Charged Tentacle Punch: Stay out of range, then attack the glove after the punch lands.
• Ink Bomb + Enemy Drop: Avoid ink puddles and defeat small enemies.

Second Phase Attack

• Urchin Rain: Watch for shadows to avoid falling urchins. Stay close to Wako Tako for a follow-up attack.

Remember to stay agile, time your attacks wisely, and make full use of your Frog Gloves to emerge victorious in this epic octopus encounter.
