The | The Primogenitor begins the fight attached to a [[Barnacle Hatchery]]. The creature will float in circles around the arena's center, periodically bombarding the [[Traveler]] with a long ranged three-shot barrage.<br/> | ||
While attached to the | While attached to the Hatchery, the Primogenitor acts as an additional weakspot; shooting it deals damage to both the Hatchery and the boss itself. It will however change spots after every attack, shuffling between three of the holes on the back of the Hatchery. | ||
Throughout the arena there are also numerous | Throughout the arena there are also numerous Hatchery corpses. If destroyed by either the Hatchery projectiles or by the [[Traveler]], they will release a swarm of [[Space Crab (Small)|Small Space Crabs]]. | ||
Once the main | Once the main Hatchery creature reaches ~15% health remaining, a secondary Hatchery will descend from the ceiling. It too will use a burst of three shots, but instead of a targeted attack it drops the projectiles along its path. This both presents a hazard when doding the shots of the main Hatchery, and will also often destroy the corpses scattered around the arena, unleashing the Space Crabs within. | ||
The | The secondary Hatchery has a roar ability, which will rupture a nearby corpse.<br/> | ||
After about 7s a new corpse will drop from the ceiling to replace it. Its impact will do a small amount of damage, enough to rupture any other corpses it might fall onto. | After about 7s a new corpse will drop from the ceiling to replace it.

At 70% of the | At 70% of the Primogenitor's health, the main Hatchery will gain a roar ability of its own, causing projectiles to erupt from the corpses. The number of projectiles will increase as the Primogenitor loses health. | ||
At 50% | At 50% Primogenitor health, another secondary Hatchery will descend. The number of corpses that drop per roar also doubles. | ||
Any | Any Hatchery killed bursts into a swarm of [[Space Crab (Small)|Small Space Crabs]]. Secondary Hatcheries are replaced roughly 14s after they died. | ||
Killing the | Killing the main Hatchery causes the Primogenitor to fall to the ground, temporarily entering the battle itself. | ||

The | The Primogenitor itself behaves nearly identical to a [[Space Crab (Small)|Small Space Crab]], lacking direct damage and leaping at the [[Traveler]] to latch on. | ||
