– Periodically exposes its heart, which is what you need to shoot.
– The shotgun does heavy damage to it, especially if loaded with gold ammo, but you need to be right next to it otherwise there’s too much damage drop-off due to range.
– Flesh pods around it will occasionally open, allowing you to shoot them. It’s unclear what this does but presumably it’s beneficial to you.
– Vendigos did not appear during the boss fight when I fought it, possibly because I buried all pieces of Cursed Gold before proceeding to the boss?
