How to Deal with Philinosoma: A Beast Force Boss Guide

Philinosoma is one of the newest and most challenging Kaiju bosses introduced in the Beast Force 0.7 update. This terrifying creature demands a blend of strategy, teamwork, and precision to defeat. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about taking down Philinosoma, including its mechanics, battle strategies, and tips for efficient teamwork.

Philinosoma is the first Kaiju boss players will encounter in the 0.7 update, and it’s not a pushover. This massive creature is packed with powerful abilities and requires players to use their wits and team coordination to bring it down. Unlike typical bosses, Philinosoma features specific weak spots that must be targeted to deal optimal damage.

Drops:

• 12 Beast Cells
• Beast’s Body
• Beast’s Head
• Beast’s Horn
• Water Charger (Weapon)

Summoning Requirements:

• Beast’s Body
• Beast’s Head
• Beast’s Horn

Once you’ve gathered these parts, you can summon Philinosoma using the Calling Beast System. The fight is difficult, but the rewards are more than worth the effort.

Philinosoma Battle Mechanics

Philinosoma is designed to be a tactical fight, so understanding its mechanics is crucial to surviving. Here’s a breakdown of its most important features:

1. Weak Spot Targeting

To maximize damage, players need to target specific body parts of Philinosoma. Randomly attacking will deal low damage, so coordination is key. Focus on weak spots like the head, body, and horns to deal more damage and take Philinosoma down faster.

2. Powerful Attacks

Philinosoma has several devastating moves that can easily wipe out unprepared players:

• Melee Charges: Watch out for its crushing charges and melee attacks, which deal massive damage.
• Area of Effect (AoE) Attacks: Be mindful of its AoE moves that can hit multiple players at once. Avoid standing close together to reduce the risk of multiple players being knocked out at the same time.

3. Summon Minions

During the fight, Philinosoma may call in smaller minions to assist it. These can overwhelm players if they’re not dealt with quickly. Be sure to focus fire on these minions while maintaining pressure on Philinosoma.

4. Damage Mitigation

Philinosoma can sometimes shield itself or resist incoming damage. This is where targeting specific parts and working with your team becomes essential—damage will be much more effective if you hit the right areas.

Battle Strategy: How to Defeat Philinosoma

1. Gather Your Team

• Team Composition:
  Philinosoma’s battle is best tackled with a well-balanced team of different roles. You’ll need a mix of ranged DPS, tankier characters to absorb damage, and healers or support roles to keep everyone alive.
• Leverage the Allied Unit (Defense) Perk:
  If you’re in a group, the Allied Unit perk will boost the group’s damage by 1% for each additional party member. More members = more damage output, so make sure you have a full squad of allies.

2. Target Weak Points

• Focus your attacks on Philinosoma’s body parts:
  • Head: Deal high damage here to break its defense and deal the most damage.
  • Horns: Target the horns to disable some of its more powerful abilities.
  • Body: Consistent damage to the body will gradually wear down Philinosoma’s health.

  Be sure to communicate with your team to make sure everyone is attacking the correct parts to maximize damage.

3. Avoid the AoE Attacks

• Keep an eye on the AoE attacks and avoid standing close to your teammates. It’s best to spread out to minimize the risk of everyone being hit by the same attack.
• When Philinosoma winds up for a large AoE strike, dodge or jump to avoid taking massive damage.

4. Minion Control

• Philinosoma summons minions during the fight, and they can quickly overwhelm you if you’re not careful. Assign some of your team members to focus on the minions while others continue to focus on Philinosoma itself. This split will keep the pressure on the boss while also clearing out the smaller threats.

5. Manage Weapon Heat (Water Charger)

• If you’re using the Water Charger (dropped by Philinosoma), make sure to manage the weapon’s heat levels. Overheating the Water Charger will reduce its effectiveness, so use it wisely during the fight.
• If you’re using other weapons, ensure you have the right loadout. Weapons that deal high damage against Kaiju bosses, such as the Sweeper’s Chainsaw, are also effective during this battle.

Philinosoma is a challenging boss that tests your ability to strategize, coordinate with teammates, and handle high-pressure situations. By targeting its weak spots, managing minions, and staying on your toes to avoid devastating attacks, you can take down this mighty Kaiju and reap the incredible rewards.

Gather your team, sharpen your skills, and get ready to take on one of the toughest bosses in Beast Force. Victory is within your grasp, but only if you’re prepared to put in the work and teamwork necessary to defeat Philinosoma!
