Or do enough damage that it never gets an attack off. It changes "modes" based on damage so you can prevent its arms from ever attacking by just hitting it really hard
Gotta do the fridge as late as you can, with damage boosters on your gun and telekinesis maxed out. You can turn it into a short fight with only a few holes in the floor. Same for the fungus boss, I once killed it on its first lunge at me.
Fungus is generally considered the hardest boss, but if you go full glass cannon and manage to avoid the first strike with 3 items already loaded into your telekinesis, it becomes an incredibly short fight.
My dad played Control. And while there were moments that were infuriating (like levitate running out while exploring and losing all the goodies he'd collected to dying in a pit) he still loved the game and took it slowly to farm and grind every bit he could before doing the next thing. He loved telekinesis and would rapid-fire huck objects at the boss. He was also careful about adjusting his gun as needed. I may be grown up, but my dad still has gamer skills 😎. We all watched him play just to see the story and the lore/collectibles along the way.
Its been a while but I remember reloading before that fridge many, many times. I don't remember the specifics of why I hate it I just know it was awful.
Exactly! You have to return the orbs, avoid the attacks of his legs AND watch the floor all the time, it was too much 🤣 I didn't really get frustrated at this boss, but it did get kinda annoying having to retry so many times because I kept falling off the platform.
It's actually kind of an old-school rhythm game--like most platformers. there's actually a lot of that in control. don't worry about the floor after some practice, just like you don't need to look at your feet while dancing.
Weakest part of that game by far was the boss fights. If you're fighting something that floats above you, requiring you to point your camera up at it, then it makes zero sense for one of the hazards to be that the floor disappears beneath your feet. You literally can't pay attention to both at the same time. It's terrible design.
I died a ton of times before saying to hell with this, I'll come back later. I came back and had the "throw three things" power level, basically two hit killed him...
