It was actually quite easy in the end, think I only used one small health vial. 2nd and 3rd stages you can use the platforms to grapple onto, blocking the projectiles.
I used a level 15 Lobber and hardly used the alt fire of Shieldbreaker during the boss fight, but that did come in handy with the shielded turrets. The weapon destroyed the broken Automatons in the room before the boss, and made short work of the normal one in about 3 or 4 hits.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Also went all the way through Echoing Ruins and beat Hyperion! That was a cool boss fight! I had under half my first health bar but a parasite healing me at low health which helped. Hollowseeker with Portal Beam is awesome!
I expect the game to kick me back down to earth when I try Biome 5 later! 😬
First time with a carbine with high calibre and (newly unlocked) leech rounds, I thought that would be good to try - but it was just too slow to damage him, and it he got me in the end.
Second time I had a level 17 electropylon driver with a load of upgrades, and I gave him a good and through smackdown!
I wanted to check something with people who've finished biome 4 (but I'm trying to avoid spoilers for anyone who hasn't got there yet, and also for me as I've only just started on biome 5):
After I beat each of the earlier bosses ... the next time I found the house, I would have a sequence exploring it. But not after beating Hyperion - the next time I found the house, in biome 4 again, it was inaccessible. Is that what you'd expect?
@JigsawPieces Yeah I noticed that too. I thought it was to do that I did two bosses in one run without dying, but I've seen the house a few since I've died and it is still not available.

@JigsawPieces Nice one 👍. Gotta love the pylon gun, it can do some awesome damage.
Re beating the boss in 4, I think that’s ok as I’m sure I had the same and that it was either unlocked after something else I did or it was then after doing 5.
I know it’s not quite as bad as some deaths but totally kicking myself. I was in the abysal scar with a hollowseeker that had the portal beam 3 trait up unlock. Just managed to unlock it and use it for the first time and I got jumped by this big MF and in two hits went from 200% to zero. Worse still I had 3 large health packs in my pocket and didn’t even get chance to use one 🤣
Hope you get a chance to try out that trait again sometime soon, @render I almost unlocked the first level of portal beam earlier, but either didn't quite get there or didn't get a chance to use it. Soon!
While I can't wait to see that myself, I think I'm going to have to. I just don't seem to be able to find anything at all. There's a good chance I might have unlocked all the weapon traits for all weapons before I get the platinum 😂
