The Dweller-in-Darkness boss, who appears in Chapter 4 of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, is the game's first boss and is challenging to take down. To defeat the Dweller-in-Darkness boss when you try to escape from Lady Hellbender at the end of Chapter 4, you will need to use precise timing in addition to powerful abilities. This boss can be defeated in three stages, each of which requires a unique strategy. It is necessary to defeat this challenging boss to advance in the story.

Stage 1:
You must keep an eye out for the creature's enormous tentacles during the initial phase of the battle. You can avoid them by dodging them out of the way. While dodging tentacles, remember to fire your blasters at them. Concentrating on a single tentacle at a time is the quickest and simplest way to get through this stage. Gamora will be prompted to amputate the tentacle's limb once its life bar is empty. 

Stage 2:
The second stage of the boss fight will start after Gamora has severed the two tentacled limbs. A wave of minions will be summoned by the boss, and two more enormous tentacles will then appear. Apply the same strategy you did before to deal with the tentacles; however, this time, the monster's limbs will retreat backward, but the trigger for cutting them will remain the same. You just need to be alert for the button prompt, which will appear over a damaged tentacle on the boss's back. The last phase of the battle will start after Gamora severs the remaining tentacles. If you have Rocket's "Gravistack Grenade" ability, using it to group hordes of enemies together before using an ability like Gamora's "Shadow Strike" or Star-Lord's "Fan the Hammer" to take them out is a good strategy for this stage. It's important to keep in mind that the enemies will continually respawn, so don't try to eliminate them all before attacking the tentacles again; instead, just eliminate enough to make going up against the monster easier.

Stage 3
In stage 3, more enemies will appear, and the Dweller-in-Darkness will shoot explosives your way; you must deal with these before they detonate. Use the same strategy as before to defeat the enemies that are swarming, and as soon as the bombs touch down, get Drax to hurl them back at Lady Hellbender's evil creature. The Guardians will be hurt if we don't do this before they blow up. When the boss has taken enough damage, a prompt will appear, and Gamora will deal the death blow.
