Ricardo Irving/gameplay

The mutated Irving attacks Chris and Sheva with his tentacles. When his tentacles rise out of the water, you must shoot them with a powerful weapon or the turrets aboard the boat. When Irving surfaces and begins swimming alongside or behind the boat, aim at the orange blob on his monstrous forehead to damage him.

Irving's smaller tentacles will emerge on multiple sides of the boat at once, but can be shot down fairly easily. His larger, claw-tipped tentacles usually emerge on one side of the boat in waves of two to four, and are only vulnerable in the orange band of flesh along their length. If left alone, the tentacles will eventually slam into the boat in an attempt to damage players - the smaller tentacles can be dodged with a button prompt, and the larger tentacles can be evaded by constantly moving around the boat. Irving can also lunge out of the water in an attempt to catch players in his jaws - keep an eye on his icon on the map and move to the opposite side of the boat if it appears to be charging at you.

After taking some damage, Irving will grab the back of the boat and open his mouth, revealing the remains of his human body on his tongue. Both players should open fire on the tongue, retreating to the other side of the deck when Irving submerges himself to avoid his lunging bite. After taking further damage, Irving will begin using his clawed tentacles - at this point, one player should try to disable them while the other continues attacking Irving's tongue.

Eventually, Irving will succumb to the BSAA agents' attacks.
