How can we damage this thing?

Another thread here mentions that once it activates the towers, the window of opportunity is lost, so that means there's no way to win once he gets the towers on, even if we break them? Is there any way to change this pattern?

It's frustrating to finally get a grasp of the situation and realizing there's nothing you can do but die. I tried climbing on it to attack it, but couldn't make it in time, is that how you damage it? 

Thanks

Hi there! So the Excavation Droid is vulnerable when it extends its plug to dock with the outlets on the ground, you need to shoot the part that's extending to damage it - if you do it correctly, a circular healthbar should appear around said part. When the droid is docking with the outlet it is basically activating each of the tower and if it's allowed to complete, the tower will grant it the ability to summon a satellite strike from the sky onto the arena. Each tower corresponds to one beam of satellite strike. You can destroy the tower to eliminate a beam and also force the droid to interface with the outlet again, making it vulnerable.

Sorry if it's not too clear! We're still working on telegraphing this fight a bit better.

Oh thanks, I kept my eyes on the health bar at the bottom when doing this, didn't see the circular healthbar. I'll try again and get this bastard!

Loving the game so far! Great work!
