Dabulas are aquatic Akrid that resemble sea snakes which attack by biting foes, they appear in Lost Planet 2, serving as the third boss of Episode 4 and are overall the eight boss of the game.
Overview[]
Two of them are encountered during Episode 4, Zone 2, Area 1, after crossing the second door and killing the four Thermal Energy- sucking Jellons.
Their spines are their weak spots along with a large deposit of thermal energy on their tail, but making contact with the spikes on their tails will do damage. Staying at a distance is key to defeating the Dabulas. Due to their massive size, not even Vital Suits are safe from them, since the creature's massive jaws are powerful enough to destroy a VS in only a few hits. They also seem to have a suction ability in order to destroy their prey more easily.
Strategy[]
After crossing the second door, the two Dabulas can be seen when standing close enough to the cliff leading to the next door. They can never reach the player if he/she stays on the cliff, but the Dabulas can still inflict damage to him/her if he is too close to the cliff. From there, just shooting them with weapons with decent range is sufficient to deal with them without taking unnecessary risks. Usage of VS Weapons is also reccomended (Triseed is also a worthy option if the player can keep his/her distance).
Tips/Trivia[]
- Despite being a Category M its more similar to a Category L in size and power however since that Category didn't exist at the time it was just classified as a Category M.
- Dabula are the first bosses of Lost Planet 2 to not be over viewed in the result screen after completing the mission.
