How to Defeat The Parasiter in Evil West?

You have to kill the two tentacles first before you damage the main head of the Parasiter in Evil West. Only then will the boss really become invulnerable for you to damage.

It would also be a good idea to use the flamethrower here as it is very effective against the tentacles once they’re stunned.

Shooting these with your guns will cause the Parasiter to take heavy damage. However it won’t stay that way for good as the Parasiter will eventually summon its tentacles back after some time.

After you damage its health enough, the Parasiter will leave cocoons on the ground. You need to dispatch these cocoons before they hatch because spawn minions which will be another problem if you let it. These minions spawned from cocoons will also explode upon death which provides another additional problem.
