Topic: Splatoon 2

I can consistently get past first and second phases, which are straightforward enough, you play dodge the inkjet around the large pillar, and then you just go extremely aggro before the bubbles end. I just cannot deal with all the autobombs though. The one time I somehow managed to end that part by sheer luck, I got taken offguard by the saucer phase. I know there's only one phase left after that, but phase three just seems to be blind luck. Any tips? (It doesn't help that I still main rollers and use sticks, which makes the splattershot quite hard to aim. XD)

In general, try not to engage Agent 3. He's just too powerful and more than likely he's going to destroy you easily if you do so. Unfortunately for Agent 3, he doesn't know how to predict your movements, so as long as you keep moving he really shouldn't be able to shoot you. Just keep going around him until the time is appropriate. The statements below in bold are the most important!

1st phase: He uses the Inkjet to fire 6 shots (which are easily avoidable). After the final shot, he returns to where he launched the Inkjet, as you might expect. This is his weakness. Around the 4th or 5th shot, head to where he launched his Inkjet, and lay a Splat Bomb in that spot after his 6th shot. If you time it correctly, the bomb should explode just after he lands, dealing serious damage. To finish off this phase, make sure you shoot him as soon as he lands.

2nd phase: This time, Agent 3 uses the Bubble Blower to blow out 3 bubbles. The annoying thing about this phase is the fact that the amount of space you have when fighting Agent 3 reduces due to the space occupied by the bubbles (you do not want to be near those bubbles since 3's Autobombs can set them off). It's a little tricky, but you want to be near him when he uses the Bubble Blower. Go around the bubbles (shooting from the front is basically useless) and shoot 3 from the side. Do be cautious, since he usually throws an Autobomb on the third bubble. Oh, and you can be quite close to him while still going around him. This makes it easier to attack him while he's using his special.

3rd phase: This is where he spams his Autobomb as his special. Believe it or not, his weakness is when he's using the special. Try getting close to him while he's doing so and shoot him with all you've got. However, immediately bail when he begins shooting at you again. You want to stay alive rather than just trying to risk everything. This is easier said than done, but honestly that's all I've got to say haha!

4th phase: He attacks from the saucer. This part's quite easy, actually. Just throw your Splat Bombs to the top of the saucer. Do this successfully two times, and 3's dead. However, make sure to avoid the missiles and, yes, his Autobomb!

5th and final phase: Easily the most difficult phase. In this phase, 3 has learnt how to spam Splashdown, and with his Autobombs it's not hard at all for him to finish you. When he has his special, he will perform 3 Splashdowns in a row, so its very vital that you effectively create a straight path of escape so that the Splashdown doesn't deal you any damage. As to how to beat 3? Well, remember when I said not to engage him? After countless times losing in this phase, I realized that you have no choice but to actually engage Agent 3. Like I said earlier, a freak shot made me win, but I think this is what you should do: throw a Splat Bomb at him. He's gonna dodge to one of the sides. But before he does so, make sure you're already shooting at where he's dodges to. In other words, bait him into dodging, and then shoot with all you've got. He might dodge to the side that you're not shooting, but stay alive, save ink, and simply try again.

By the way, a tip you are missing for phase 4 is once you've downed Inner Agent 3, Ink all of the turf back. Phase 4 seems to me as a setup for phase 5, which is why it's so easy. Whenever they start spamming Splashdown, get close to a pillar and constantly move to the other side of their Splashdown. This is the safest and easiest way to avoid taking damage, while limiting the area that they paint. Also, for any phase, they are most vulnerable when rolling. They can't shoot you, so as long as you follow them with your shots, you can force them to roll again, opening up more weakness and inflicting massive damage. I actually only used Splat Bombs on phase 4, because they used so much ink up.
