The single-player campaign mode of Splatoon 3 pits players against some truly wild bosses as they travel through Alterna. The campaign mode has six sites, each with a boss of its own. The boss you will face in Site 2 is Frye. This guide will give you a proper road map for defeating the Site 2 boss, Frye, in Splatoon 3.
How to unlock Frye in Splatoon 3
To face off with Frye in the second boss battle of the Hero Mode Campaign in Splatoon 3, players must head to the second site inside Hero Mode, Cozy & Safe Factory.
There they must unlock The Future Strikes Back, stage, and enter it to initiate a bunch of cutscene sequences. The boss battle will commence soon after.
What weapon does Frye use in Splatoon 3?
Frye mainly makes use of her eels to attack the player. She also has large cubes at her disposal that she uses to crush the player.
The eels track the player and inflict damage on contact, while the cube falls on the player. The cube attacks are easy to dodge as they are highly choreographed and provide will a window to counterattack.
The attack patterns of Frye
Frye’s attack pattern is fairly simple in the first phase of the fight. All Frye does is spam her eel attack. In the second phase, you will face some challenges as Frey starts mixing her block attack with the usual eels.
In the final phase of the fight, she will be using all the attacks from phases 1 and 2 along with a few new attacks. Predicting her next move is difficult, so you have to rely on your reflexes. Once you recognize what attack is being thrown at you, dodging it is fairly easy.
How to defeat Frye in Splatoon 3
The battle against Frye, in The Future Stares Back mission, will consist of three different phases. You’ll have to use different tactics during each phase so that you can defeat the Site 2 boss with ease.
First phase
As soon as Frye begins the battle, she’ll send out all her eels, who will mostly stare at you for a while before attacking you.
The eyes of a few of the eels are covered in a dark mask. To send these eels tumbling back into Frye, hit them.
Shoot ink at her until the second phase starts to stun Frye, after which you must climb the block.
Second phase
You’ll need to dodge Frye’s blocks in the second part of the battle. Whenever her block comes near you, she’ll send out her eels again.
Allowing it to get too close can be dangerous. Shoot all the eels surrounding the block with ink and swim up to the block to shoot Frye.
Third and final phase
It is the third phase that is the most challenging. Each eel groups together and circles the surface. As they are in a large group, it may be difficult to avoid them, but you have to avoid them.
If you have not yet used your special attack, now is the time to take advantage of it. To take out a large group of eels close to you, press L3 when they are about to swim toward you.
As soon as you’ve splattered every eel, move toward Frye, and start shooting. Once you’ve followed these instructions properly, Frye will be defeated.
How to fight Frye again in Splatoon 3
You can fight Frye again by simply heading back into The Future Stares Back boss battle mission.
During the cutscenes you may notice that the dialogue is slightly different, simply skip the cutscenes by pressing – to continue toward the boss battle.
