Below we have mentioned how you can defeat esseJ, Mold-1, Tommasi and Former.
How to Beat esseJ
esseJ is a the mirror image of Jesse that comes in the evil form. This fight happens when you enter the mirror and into a world where everything is reversed. The fight with esseJ happens in a mid-sized area that offers some protection against her attacks. Another thing to worry is that you have to fight multiple versions of esseJ.
The best way to fight esseJ is to bring the fight to her and to keep the pressure on her by firing with your weapons and throwing objects when you want to recharge your weapon. With charge shots, you won’t be dealing a lot of damage, but you will keep overwhelming esseJ. Always keep close to her and keep attacking with both charge shots and the weapon fire.
In the second phase of the fight, she will turn the tides and start throwing objects at you. At this moment, you will notice that she will rarely be moving about and dodging you attacks. This is the best opportunity you can have to deal a lot of damage to esseJ.
When the third and last phase of the fight begins, she will Levitate mid-air and stay at the top. You should also do the same thing and continue throwing objects of your own. This will eventually kill her off.
How to Beat Mold-1
Mold-1 is a menacing looking boss that may scare you at first but is pretty easy to defeat if you know how to dodge its attack and keep firing at its head. The Mold-1 boss relies on the smash attack that it does with one of its arms, and the barrage of homing missiles it throws at you.
Your job in this boss battle is to keep dodging the missiles and the arm attack and keep firing at its head. The Grip weapon form is a decent weapon in this fight as it gives you ample time to fire all bullets into the boss’ head while allowing you enough time to dodge and reload.
You can also use the platforms as your shield by standing behind them as you reload. Alternatively, you can continue with your attacks by throwing objects towards its head. This also deals a lot of damage to Mold-1.
How to Beat Tommasi
To begin with, you need to have the Grip weapon form for this fight as it deals a good amount of damage between your object throwing attacks. Tommasi is the flying enemy that sends out objects at your location, while also relying on his minions that he sends to fight you.
Tommasi likes to stay in the air and throw items at you when you are out in the open and vulnerable. Make sure you take cover behind the large pillars on either side of the battle arena. Also, make sure you are at the very back so you have your back covered as well.
To deal damage, throw objects at him which will stun him for a little while. Then fire away with your weapon to deal a good amount of damage. With the right weapon and upgrades, you can end this fight in just over a couple of minutes. Just be aware of taking cover, clearing out the smaller enemies and throwing objects at Tommasi to stun him.
How to Beat Former
This boss is part of the side quest where you enter the refrigerator that teleports you to a different and dark world. The Former is a giant monster with the big eye and spider-like arms. Its attacks are the explosive orbs that it sends towards you from its eye, and the occasional attack where he tries to gash with its arm.
To best way to deal a lot of damage, is by throwing the large blocks of the black pillars straight into its eye. This also gives you a short window to continue your attack with the weapon. Once you deal a lot of damage, Former will drop down and appear from another angle, which is probably behind you.
The worst part about his arm attack is that it is pretty much instant kill if you are a victim of its full effect. Be aware of this attack and always dodge away whenever you see such an attack is imminent. Keep the same attack pattern by throwing the objects, and firing weapons in its eye.
