Once Human: Ravenous Hunter boss mechanics

In the first phase of the fight, the Ravenous Hunter will use its minigun to attack you. When that happens, you must jump into cover behind the various objects placed in the arena. While in cover, you can use your Butterfly's Emissary Deviant companion to dish out damage to the boss.

Every once in a while, the Hunter will stop firing to roar, and that is the time when you get out of cover to shoot it. Aim for its head to inflict critical damage and jump back into cover when the boss starts attacking again.

Weapons like rifles, SMGs, and LMGs are preferable as they can deal a lot of damage with their automatic firing.

After a while, the boss' minigun would overheat, and you need to hit its weak spots during that time. As mentioned before, the head is a weak spot, and then shoot at its right arm to sever it off. Once you cut off the right arm, the minigun will fall, and you will be able to pick it up and use it.

When the Ravenous Hunter's health goes down by one-third, it becomes immune to damage and jumps to the edge of the arena. Two Spawners will spawn during that time. You must destroy them quickly as they keep spawning Gnawer adds.

Ignore and dodge the Gnawers and go straight for the Spawners. Once the two Spawners are down, all the adds will automatically die.

After destroying the Spawners, phase two begins. The boss will jump down, and you will have a few seconds to inflict some free damage before it starts attacking. The rest of the second phase is exactly like the first.

You must stay in cover, DPS the boss, pick up the minigun, and destroy Spawners when the Hunter becomes immune after two-thirds of its health goes down.

Note that during both phases, the boss will fire homing rockets in the air before jumping to the edge of the arena. You have to jump behind the cover as the rockets deal heavy damage.

The Ravenous Hunter also targets you with missiles when it's immune. Keep dodging and going behind cover whenever he fires. The Hunter will shine a targeting laser at you before firing, so you have plenty of time to get into cover.

In the last phase, the Hunter does not use its minigun anymore. It will start with a homing rocket barrage and then regularly keep firing single-homing rockets. Jump into cover every time to avoid damage.

The boss then shoots five acid blobs in your direction, and they cause lasting AoE damage and slow you down. Avoid them by constantly moving and dodging, and keep on damaging the boss with your weapons and by throwing the flammable barrels scattered around.

After the last third of its health goes down, the Hunter is defeated.
