How to beat the Wolf Eel inDave the Diver

After shifting some rocks withDave the Divers‘ fancy new gloves, you will now be faced with a monstrous boss battle. The huge Wolf Eel comes out of nowhere to attempt to ruin your day. The mega Eel has a wide range of attacks that can only really be avoided with some pretty nifty flipper work and by clinging on to dear life to the environment. The Wolf Eel will use three attacks onDave the Diver; each needs to be countered in its own way.

Wolf Eel Vacuum

This move comes from the right and will pull you into the Wolf Eels’ mouth. It is possible to avoid it by grabbing onto the hanging anchors that dangle from the ceiling. You need to preempt this move and get yourself close to one of them. Once you have grabbed on, be ready to hammer the spacebar to stay connected.

Background charge

Once the Wolf Eel has made its suction attack, it’s going to charge you from the back of the arena. Wait for it to appear, and get ready to dash out of the way when it charges in. I found that waiting until it locked you in, then dashing, was the best way to stay out of the way.

Wiggly Wolf Eel attack

This is a tricky one to gauge and even harder to avoid. Next, the Wolf Eel will wave from the top of the screen to the bottom, damaging everything it touches. It is almost impossible to avoid, so I would recommend just getting the hits in while you can. You’re going to getDave the Diverhurt anyway.

Dave the Diver’s attack stage

Once the three moves have been performed, the Wolf Eel will retreat before it starts again. If you’re still good on health and ammo, take this time to attack the glowing green tail that’s on display. Pay attention; this is the weak spot. Finally, hit it with everything you have and pray it is enough to defeat the Wolf Eel inDave the Diver.
