First you have to climb up the mountain side to the left. Jump from one platform to another, fighting off the spiders. Watch out for the falling boulders. Along the way, grab the VS Laser Rifle. When you’re at the top, you can immediately go into the cavern, or take some time to get another optional achievement, called Moth Hunter. Yup, the goal is to strike down that gargantuan moth that’s been flying around you since the previous mission. Here is the best place to do that. Use the laser rifle to target the glowing points on its body (you don’t have to be precise, shoot it a few times with a loaded laser charge and you’ll see the effects), then concentrate on its feelers. They are harder to hit, but fortunately you don’t have to destroy them all. A few accurate shots will do the thing. To maximize your chances, wait for the moth to fly directly above you.
HINT: Just like with the Worm Killer, you have to finish the level after killing the moth in order to unlock the achievement. Keep that in mind if you used the Mission Select option just to get it done.
Enter the nearby cave. Activate the Data Post and go right, along the ledge that’ll take you all the way to the top of this huge room. Enter a VS and go to the end of the path, then enter the tunnel to the right. Inside you’ll find another VS. Go back to the main room the other way and jump right to the other ledge. Go further and eventually you’ll end up in a room with a white ice pillar. Shoot through the goo blocking one of the passages and then go through it.
Boss
This boss can initially seem to be quite difficult, it certainly requires some practice. First of all you’ll definitely want to use a VS on that. A Rocket Launcher would be welcome, as much as a second, faster weapon. In order to deal damage to this creature, you first have to shoot off one of its legs, and when it lowers its head, hit it as hard as you can, preferably using a rocket. You’ll have to repeat the whole process for at least three times before it is finally beaten. Stay close to the enemy, because some of his attacks won’t harm you this way. You can also try to shoot the glowing stalactites above it – they can quickly cut off its legs, but you need some luck for them to work well.
