It wouldn’t be a FromSoftware game without infuriating boss fights, and the case is no different for Armored Core 6. Early on in the game, during the final mission of Chapter 2, you’ll face the Sea Spider boss, which is essentially a spider mech.
The Sea Spider boss can be defeated using Tetrapod Legs and a fast AC which will help you move quickly as well as assert aerial dominance. For offense, using Laser Blades and explosive weaponry should do the trick.
Here’s how to take down the boss:
1. Phase I: Be on the move
During Phase 1, the Sea Spider boss fires barrages of laser, turrets and concentrated bursts for which you need to evade left or right quickly. To dodge the charged-up beam which deals massive damage, you need to stick close to the boss. Keep an eye out on how it charges up its beam.
If the Sea Spider charges up the beam by aiming to the left or right, then it’s about to deliver a horizontal sweep which can be dodged by jumping up and boosting mid-air. On the other hand, the vertical sweep can be dodged by evading to the left or right. Sometimes it does both simultaneously so watch out for that.
Be on the move at all times to dodge the fire bolts that rain from the air. In order to avoid the incredibly powerful melee attack, where it lunges forward and stabs downwards with laser blades, boost away from the boss as far as you can. This will keep you out of reach from the boss.
2. Phase II: Deal airborne damage
During Phase 2, the Sea Spider boss goes airborne to launch a devastating laser beam dealing explosive damage. To dodge this, go airborne when it fires. You need to be on the move either in air or on the ground as this phase focuses on attacking with laser fire.
The boss will emit laser blades from each leg, for which you need to get above the Sea Spider when it does so. Staying at a height will ensure that the lasers don’t connect and deal massive damage.
3. What is the best build to defeat the Sea Spider boss in Armored Core 6?
The best build players can make to defeat the Sea Spider boss in Armored Core 6 is as follows:
- Right Arm: 44-414 JVLN ALPHA
- Left Arm: PB-033M ASHMEAD
- Right Shoulder: SONGBIRDS
- Left Shoulder: SONGBIRDS
- Head: VP-44S

What makes a build like this suitable for this boss fight is the Tetrapod Legs paired with the SONGBIRDS grenade launchers to stagger the Sea Spider boss while airborne. Once staggered, the ASHMEAD Pile Bunker comes in handy to deal massive damage to the boss.
That’s everything you need to know to squash the Sea Spider boss in Armored Core 6.
