Returnal Ixion

How to Kill Ixion in Crimson Wastes Ixiom’s main thing is fast movement and big bullet hell patterns that force you to stay on the move. The boss does pause in places, allowing you to focus your fire on him, so as with Phrike, keep applying the pressure as much as you can. Don’t forget your alt-fire, and any consumable items you may have! The large, spiralling bullet patterns look intimidating, but they’re not so bad; you can either keep to one side or dash into the middle of the pattern, where it’s safe. Meanwhile, smaller bursts of projectiles aren’t too much trouble. When you finish a phase of the fight, Ixiom launches into the air and crashes down to the middle of the arena. He stays there for some time, expelling an energy wave and a mess of projectiles. This is a tricky part of the battle and will really test your avoidance skills, but you should aim to get in as much damage as you can while the boss is stationary.
