Where
5-2 Missile Area 1F: 1, hatches when you restore power to the conveyor and drops from the ceiling on the way back. 5-3 Missile Area 2F: 4 egg sacs on the walkway, but only **2 or 3** hatch per run. 6-3 Engine Room: 2, when you start the primary bulkhead.

Weak point

The glowing abdominal sac (visible when it rears up to attack or shifts its armour to vent gas) and the 2 glowing sacs on its back (breaking them stuns it and exposes the belly). A direct Rocket Launcher hit kills it. The Stun Rod stuns it instantly; Flash, Acid and Electric Rounds work well.

A cockroach infected with traces of Uroboros, with scythe arms and a caustic spit that blinds you briefly; its shell deflects standard bullets. Its puncture grab is instant death: never fight it up close.

Explosives (Hand Grenades, Explosive Rounds, Proximity Bombs) don't kill it, because it curls up and rolls away, but they drain its health: one or two grenades or one mine often leave it at 1 HP, and any bullet to a weak spot finishes it. Fire does nothing.

Reward

Power Stone (₦5,000) each: 1 in 5-2, 2 or 3 in 5-3 and 2 in 6-3. Figurine: 5 BSAA Emblems and Chapter 6 cleared.

2,000–3,000 HP (Famitsu guidebook via Fandom). Scratch 100; puncture grab, instant death. The gas it vents throws off your aim.

Step by step

  1. From range: rifle into the belly when it rears up. Up close: shotgun, waiting for it to show the belly.
  2. Break the 2 sacs on its back and it is stunned with the belly exposed: finish it.
  3. A grenade or Proximity Bomb first, then one shot into the sac. A direct Rocket Launcher hit kills it (a near miss only makes it roll).
  4. Shooting off a limb stops the grab, but limbs grow back in seconds.
  5. 5-2: constant heat kills it too: lead it into the incinerator. Kill it before you go to the 3rd conveyor with the Disposed Bodies.
  6. 6-3: kill them before the bulkhead finishes opening, or they fight alongside the two Gatling Gun Majini. Acid or Explosive Rounds from the Grenade Launcher work well.
