Tomb of Sobek - Defeating the Boss (Part 1)
Challenge: Feed Sobek Three Time Bombs at Once
These screenshots show the single-player game, but in co-op mode the battle works the same way. This challenge may be a little easier in co-op, since each player can work independently.
Even if you are not attempting the challenge, You'll need to do the first part of this sequence in order to defeat the boss. So follow along for now.
Approach one of the time bombs that's fairly close to the hanging basket. Plant a remote bomb behind the time bomb. Then raise the Staff of Osiris and hold it up throughout this sequence to prevent the time bombs from exploding too soon.
Now detonate the remote bomb to (hopefully) fling the time bomb into the basket. If it doesn't work the first time, you can either choose a different time bomb or move to where the first bomb landed and try again using another remote bomb.
If you're not going for the challenge skip the next 4 screenshots and proceed with shooting the switch, below.
Once you have the first bomb in the basket, repeat the process with a second time bomb. Note that you can use a remote bomb to shift a time bomb whether is is on a raft or in the water. Just be sure to position the remote bomb on the opposite side of the time bomb from the basket...
...so the force of the detonation propels the time bomb toward the basket.
Do the same thing again with a third remote bomb.
Remember to keep holding up the staff as you work so the bombs don't explode.
When you have three bombs in the basket (or just one bomb if you're not attempting the challenge), shoot the switch...
...to raise the basket. Then immediately lift the staff again so the bombs don't explode before Sobek gets to them.
After a moment, Sobek will power up out of the water and devour the basket, bombs and all.
An on-screen message shows you've beaten the challenge, and you receive a MAX AMMO UPGRADE for your efforts.
There's a commotion below the surface as the bombs explode. Then Sobek floats to the surface belly up. That red, scaly spot on his tummy is his weak spot. Quickly jump/swim over to him.
Climb on top of him, and plant a remote bomb on the red patch.
Then detonate it to take about a third of his health.
