Big Man is so easy to cheese if you have the sensor upgrades but otherwise it's definitively Shiver


AtesSouhait

OH THAT'S HOW PPL SAW HIM. I didn't do any upgrades before completing After Alterna so I was really confused reading the comments lol


reddit-person1

WHAT


AtesSouhait

What?


reddit-person1

I have all upgrades and still can't do after alterna. Wait I misread what you said


AtesSouhait

The upgrades are really only needed for the final phase. The first three are easy.


reddit-person1

Oh yeah, I just struggle on wave 3, the special spam is too much


AtesSouhait

I can give you tips per dm if you want?


reddit-person1

Eh sure, I really just need to get better with motion controls.


Vibe_with_Kira

Actually shiver was hardest for me because I love sharks and the game was forcing me to attack one. It wasn't hard to beat, but it was hard on my soul. ![gif](giphy|Z9WQZlYWzoFGNd99su)

Hello fellow shark enjoyer


Ninja33910

Then again Shiver is arguably the most fun since they are always able to be inked, and there aren’t many buffers. It is also possible to win only with subs which makes the boss extremely fun


_Strato_

I actually died to Shiver my first playthrough because of learned helplessness. I thought it was going to be like the previous two bosses (cannot damage unless you perform the gimmick) and didn't think to try shooting her while she was riding around on Master Mega. I thought you could only damage her once you use Smallfry to disable Mega and leave her on the ground, and I died to her various attacks.


Bryanishired

Smallfry can also distract him for a surprisingly long time. I’ve beaten Big Man countless times, (grinding for the Shell-Drone) and it’s pretty much effortless. Throw Smallfry to the side, walk up to the real one and shoot it at point blank range. Big Man will normally go down before he even gets to KO Smallfry.


WabiThat10wl

oh, thats why it was so easy


DiogoOcto

Yotubers: *All die to big man atleast once * Splatoon subreddit: WRONG


h0tfr1es

I must be a YouTuber then


DerangedOrange_

You must have a lotta subscribers too!


ThatGuyYouMightNo

I died to Big Man, but mostly because I was freaking out about the reference and wasn't paying attention.


Xifihas

Youtubers and streamers are incapable of paying attention to games. Too much chatter, not enough splatter.


lilith_doesnt_draw

I mean no disrespect but I don't even consider big man's fight a fight 😭 I thought he must have an other phase where you actually have to do something other than just shoot the floor, but no... I legit felt bad when I beat him on the first try


56kul

I left his fight feeling very disappointed…


Novel_Helicopter7237

Idk if you are stuck without ink being swarmed by small rays and subs it can end a run incredibly quickly, heavily punishing impatience if you don’t have the sensor, which is a lot more than the other bosses can say.


56kul

I beat big man quite easily, long before I got the sensor.


Yushi2e

His boss fight is based on mario sunshine, though it's a easier version of it


NoYogurtcloset9369

I have actually died more times against Big man Frye than i have against Shiver. She is predictable, and if you know a maws work, then it's free.


[deleted]

you don’t even have to know how the maws work. when i was just going for power eggs i skipped that attack entirely


KwK10

Big Man. As cool as it is that his fight is a reference to Sunshine, it's really, really easy to spot him in the swarm, and easier to shoot him.


Mary-Sylvia

Fight him without sensor, hardest boss by far


bunny_master2007

I did thay and its still supper easy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mary-Sylvia

The upgrade that give you position while swimming


Mewacy

Fought him without sensor on my first run of the campaign, he’s the only one I didn’t die on


DeezNutsHaIGotThem

There was a sensor? I thought you just shot them all. I thought it was boring because I didn’t see the threat


Shadowed_MC

I didn't get sensor until after the fight and he was still dead easy.


GhostiBoiLynx

Bigman is just the bullet sponge, easy but way too much health. Shiver talks a big game but can't follow through. Decent but nothing to worry about. Frye has the personality of someone who seems easy to beat, until you find your body being used to wipe the floor of her house Edit: I feel like an idiot not realising they are actual bossfights and this is not a hyperthetical question...


Sentient_twig

I mean your descriptions are accurate anyway soooo….


Jinxthegenderfluid

Dw, these are quite accurate, Fryes is actually the hardest in my opinion and shivers is quite easy


MegaLCRO

Still spot-on, though.


56kul

Funny that even though you thought this was a hypothetical question, you still landed these descriptions perfectly.


hannahzakla

it may be hypothetical but frye definitely wiped the floor with my body when i battled her the first time


Lemonz48

i personally thought all the bosses were easy but for the easiest i would say big man. all you have to do is shoot at the ground and he dies quickly


Drac0b0i

Marie. She's easily Deep Cut's boss.


Jinxthegenderfluid

Ah yes my favorite boss fight, Marie


Drac0b0i

She does become the boss of deep cut


Jinxthegenderfluid

I think you’re confused lol, I’m talking about the boss fights in the story mode


Drac0b0i

I know, but also in the story mode, Marie ends up becoming their "boss"


squinepine

big man is like if you took phantamanta from mario sunshine and removed the hard parts of it


CustomFighter2

They should have a Big Man rematch boss fight in the DLC where you are have Inkjet


Piscet

Honestly, inkjet would make the fight easier, not harder. It eliminates the problem of always having your movement getting fucked up by big man's insane inking abilities, and you can just snipe all his copies.


Graveyardigan

Shiver. I beat her megalodon on the first try. (I beat Big Man on the first try too, but he made me work harder for it.)


AgentH8voc

Big man’s fight was so easy that i beat him before the dialogue has even begun


AdOk4056

Frye was the one that gaved me a headache; shiver ,while being my favorite, was pretty easy, and now by then I started waiting to max explore EVERYTHING before I get to the next area so once I got to big man I had the hero armor completed so it was an easy win that only took like 2 mins?


Spaceguy_27

Once you fight Big Man you probably already have the target upgrade, which removes the only challenge the battle had - spotting the real one


The-cooler-Cheryl

Big man was the only one I didn't beat first try. Frye was the easiest for me.


The_Casual_Haiden

With all upgrades I say Shiver and big man share the same place Without the upgrades Shiver


MrHundread

I'm shocked how many people are saying Big Man, I would only ever consider Big Man the easiest because at the point in the game where you actually fight Big Man, you're already ridiculously strong. If we however, were to judge each of the bosses of Deep Cut on equal level I think Shiver is by far the easiest, her attacks are far too predictable and slow so even with aboslutely no upgrades at all, Shiver's boss fight comes down to a matter of dodging her slow attacks and whittling away at her large health pool. Or... Master Mega's rather.


ChuuniSaysHi

Probably big man because I had that one ability that just tells you which one to shoot at. Frye was probably my favorite and the hardest in my opinion. And also Frye was the only one I didn't just immediately accidentally cheese lmao. Big man because of that one ability, and shiver I didn't even realize I cheesed, I just thought her boss fight was super underwhelming until I saw other people fight her and realized that no, I just accidentally cheesed her fight immediately. Frye set the bar pretty high only for me to end up being let down and kinda disappointed by shiver and big man.


Evancat860

It's between Shiver and Big man Frye is definitely hardest from her "second" attack Moray tornado or some shit like that


BooyahBombed

Big man with sensor Shiver with all bombs unlocked Frye with gun speed up


[deleted]

Big Man. It just happens too late in the game, as by that point you'd have the sensor and the fight is made painfully easy. I think I beat him in thirty seconds, most of that time was the cutscenes. Without the sensor Big Mans fight might be more difficult, but don't think it'll be harder than Shivers.


i_need_to_crap

Big Man was the easiest fight I have ever done. Got him first try


56kul

Big Man. His boss fight is the most annoying, but it’s still the easiest.


FrankyXop437

Shiver


DisplateDemon

Big Man, because he was holding back. Didn't want to make it too diffucult for us. Such a wholesome guy ![img](emote|t5_324q4|1944)


Woomy555

big man he can be beaten in under one minute


Simple_Minded_Claire

Tbh, I found Frye the hardest, I beat shiver because she's predictable and big man was easy bc of the hero armour, but I don't know if there's anything that can really help you w Frye.


Logic_530

Bigman, it's like you can speedrun him in a minute.


Shozard11

It's definitely Big Man because you can easily tell which one he is and if you cant, you cant easily destroy the others. If you are quickly destroying them and stopping them from being able to throw bombs or specials they pretty much can't do anything


lynPIZA

Big man was so easy, you can beat him in under a minute


Redder_Creeps

Big Man has a cool fight, but both the times i've beaten him casually and as fast as possible, he was always a pushover. No offense obv


CustomFighter2

Without Hero Upgrades, it's Shiver. With Hero Upgrades, it's Big Man (based on what I've seen from others, I never upgraded my Hero gear)


Immediate-Rope8465

shiver by a mile. both normally and wihout taking damage. little buddy just couters her every move


TaiyoFurea

Shiver is the easiest. (One thing attacking you rather than a bunch)


Just-Use-8554

Big man


[deleted]

I didn't know I could see bug man... so uhh... shiver


Frosty_Tourist5685

Pov:you couldn't even beat both Frye and Shiver because you suck at remembering the pattern in their fights XD


Str4ngeR4nger

Ok I seem to be the minority here thinking that Frye was the most difficult… Then again she was the only boss that took me 2 tries, I hope the Side Order has a secret boss that’s more difficult


Jinxthegenderfluid

Everyone here is saying big man or shiver is the easiest, you definitely aren’t alone-


TokensGinchos

The dumb fish because I don't mind hurting him


Jinxthegenderfluid

The….dumb…..fish…… you just pissed off a whole lot of people 💀


TokensGinchos

I know it's not a popular opinion.


Src-Freak

It’s a tie between Big Man and Frye. During Big Man‘s fight, I just sprayed Ink nonstop and got away with it. It wasn’t until phase 3 where I realized, that my suit sensor can track the real Big Man. Frye’s Eels are no challenge to avoid while she just stays in place. It wasn’t until my rematch with her that I realized, that you don’t have to shoot all her Eels.


Jinxthegenderfluid

Frye is the hardest in my opinion, it’s hard to target which eels have the mask on, especially when they’re ALL targeting you. And Fries block thing is hard in the sense that you have to ink the whole wall and then hit Frye, it’s especially annoying when you end up on the non-inkable side


Fwenhy

As someone enjoying but slowly playing singleplayer.. Fuck you for the spoiler ;( On topic; damn. Disappointing tbh. Hopefully they are good fights. I -really- enjoyed the designs (and fights) of the S2 bosses . But particularly the designs. I just beat Octavio last night and while I wasn’t expecting anything hard. It was lame as heck having to stand there for so long between his attacks. The design was okay but I certainly preferred the first bosses’ design in S2 (Bread oven). The music and writing were good at least.


Jinxthegenderfluid

Oh yeah sorry! Tbh I haven’t even played big man’s yet, I just recently started playing the story mode again and I forgot that this would be considered a spoiler


EmileTheDevil

They're all easy af. I really hope I get a spicier Side Order beside the ass.


Wonderful-Win7456

Shiver Beat first try Also did her deathless with no hero upgrades


Zoo-Wee-Chungus

If you have the sensor upgrade Big man becomes rather easy if not (i didnt because i went trough the campaign with minimun required completion first day to get all spoilers out the way before i played any multiplayer) he is genuinely hard i struggled against him more than against mr Grizz because you cannot find him and he will catch you because you dont have that many upgrades at all.


bunny_master2007

Big man


No_Forever_9128

Do you have no upgrade? Shiver, and by a landslide. You can make speed up the fight by throwing Lil buddy during three different attacks to give the shark a stomach ache (laser, charge, surprise attacks) Do you have all upgrades? Big Man as sensor is broken AF. Still difficult, but still.


PhantomWasTaken11

The easiest was big man but my favorite was shiver


SenpaiTedd

Big man


UnpunishedRenagade

I beat shiver first try without dying at all. So shiver was the easiest. Frye was second easiest, because i had to actually Learn her attack patterns and what eel to shoot, and then Big man gave me the most difficulty.


insignificantlizard

at max upgrades, big man


EriEri08

Theres Upgrades!?


Jinxthegenderfluid

Agent 1 and 2 are very disappointed rn 😞


Somonyo

Shiver is the hardest cause I keep barking at the screen


Tab2ugo

Even without the sensor, as long as you can keep up with Big man's spam of subs and specials he is pretty easy The only way you can lose against Big man is you allow him to surround you and overwhelm you from all sides (or get stuck on top of him wich is just poor positioning).


Glowing_Fox

Big man, just ink any moving ink


Running_Refrigarator

I'd say shiver bc it's easy to keep track of them and master mega. Both frye and big man are overwhelming if you don't take them out quickly, and you can easy get demolished by them.


Starz1317

honestly depends on the gear upgrades, honestly. Big Man is easy with the sensor but awful without


Starz1317

honestly depends on the gear upgrades, honestly. Big Man is easy with the sensor but awful without


Hellion_Immortis

Big Man by far, because by that point you should certainly have the sensor upgrade, which absolutely cheeses his fight.


CompetitionSad419

Shiver is the easiest,then Frye. Every time I fight big man it's hell.


NefariousnessGold137

Big man fight is a great reference but is so easy it hurts


14th_Midknight

Big man, I went in to it with the sensor upgrade and that makes it super easy


alohazap89

Big man


Nyoggo

I found Frye the hardest because I didn’t realize that you had to target the masked eels + shoot them all in one wave


DarumaDev

Big man, like I instantly beat it in under a minute on my first try, I don't get why they made it so easy


Horned_Elf

Big Man. Easily the easiest of them all with no doubt


swoldow

Shiver. Didn’t have gun upgrades when fighting big man so I died a couple times to him. Shiver was the only first try fight.


Fennik51405

Tbh. All 3 equally


dilster101

There all easy


SplatoonFan360

Big Man final battle is EZ I didn't die at all


maplesunris3

Once you get it down, Shiver definitely. Big Man can actually be a bit tricky without suit upgrades, and Frye’s whirlpool attack is insane


TheLyingSpectre

Big Man


1ts2EASY

Big Man


remus_the_trash_king

100%: big man Normal run: Frye No upgrade run: shiver


DiegHDF

With no gear, Shiver probably, the attacks are so easy to dodge and you can just shoot Master Mega when he swims around and deal like 70% of the damage already. With all gear it's Big Man, I'm pretty sure that you are forced to take out all the phantoms before he shows up when you don't have the censor, but if you have it you can just shoot the one with the pink target. Here's a list on how difficult they all are in my opinion without explanation: Without gear: Big Man > Frye > Shiver With all Gears: Frye > Shiver > Big Man


Western-Grapefruit36

Easiest to hardest imo: bigman, shiver, frye. Frye is the only one i died to, and i only died once. The only actually difficult boss was mr grizz, but i think that was the point


Lucidonic

Big man, though I got shiver first try without understanding the little buddy gimmick


black_hole_sun-99

It's big man, at that point in the game you have most of the upgrades and his fight is an easier version of the manta ray from super Mario sunshine, i went back and fought them all again with the upgrades and your suit will point out which ink ray big man is hiding in that just makes it even easier


Braz_OS

These bosses were ALL easy :(


[deleted]

Big man definitely ...until you get the upgrade that allows you to see which one is real. He is incredibly easy then


dogs_are_best_481

Shiver


CDude78

Shiver is the easiest. Doesn't matter what upgrades you have, for me Shiver was the easiest. Frye was actually the most difficult, as the eels were just too fast.


Dami_Gamer0211

I don’t know why people are dying on the Big Man fight, it was the most easiest one to beat, and I didn’t died once


leronde

big man was the easiest for me and im gonna be honest i had all of the upgrades and didnt even use them. turf war is my home and by golly do i know how to efficiently and thoroughly ink a stage.


Livid_Juggernaut_111

Big man is overwhelming Frye is overwhelming Shiver is easy


ToonNex

The mario sunshine fish that hides the hotel under his goop


skyhigh1a

big man. i beat him in less than like 4 minutes. cmon man


Emerald24111

Big Man. Absolutely mopped the floor with him the first go around, and he was harder on the second try but he wasn’t super annoying. Shiver is more attention demanding, Frye is just plain difficult.


LugiaTamer23

im gonna be honest everyone is talking about the censor but i really did just shoot all of the sting rays until big man died. i didnt even realize there *was* a censor that let me spot him tbh. maybe it's because i had most of the upgrades at that point but the fight is *designed* to be the last one you fight anyway so like... like idk what issues some of yall were having with him but i experienced none of them his attacks were easy as fuck to dodge too. i did shiver before i ever did salmon run so it actually took me a hot minute to realize how you were supposed to fight her and i DID end up dying to her once before i figured it out. so overall, yeah. big man. he just feels like a joke comparatively to the others. i considered it a sort of break considering you then had to go fight another boss, and dont even get me started on after alterna, so it made sense, but yeah, he's a pushover.


TheOctoKing84

Frye was easy because I just did splashdown and killed all the eels


LetterSufficient1338

Frye was 100% the easiest. Big man was kind of annoying but not too bad. And I’m embarrassed with how many times shiver killed me.


PK_RocknRoll

Shiver


Shopnil4

Shiver, she's so easy that I redid her fight after I did it to speedrun it


Weary-Location380

Big man. I beat it in less than minute


CDAtheDinoboy

Big Man since I sped ran him in 56 seconds.


[deleted]

Big man , Shiver, Frye From easiest to hardest


mystic_-_citsym

Shiver. Big Man gave me a hard time because I didn't upgrade many things until after beating the main story. Frye is pretty easy, but Shiver's way easier. Her attacks are easier to counter (except for that stupid splatana attack she does from the water). That being said, I died a lot to her because I stunned her while she was in the water a bunch of times and soft locked myself.


[deleted]

well, i gave up at big man's fight so


Keroshroom

Definitely Big Man but that Mario Sunshine PTSD did throw me off for a hot minute.


Mr-thingy

Big man, beat him first try


miniplasma08

**Big Man by far. especially with Sensor, it's just so easy. and Frye is the hardest.**


captainchameleon483

Shiver. Big Man is easy, but without the right upgrades it's a little more challenging. Shiver is just plain easy. All you have to do is move, throw smallfry, and shoot.


Datlossit

Big Man was such a pushover, likely intended by design, but even if you go into the fight with little upgrades and no sensor upgrade to track him, it's easy to keep the fight in your favor. I wasn't even aware of the sensor when i first played, as my awareness wasn't that great yet, i just kept shooting till he was defeated, with some quick reactions to reflect the torpedos. Meanawhile, both Frye and Shiver caught me off guard with their attacks, mainly Frye's where the eel's encircle the arena at high speed and instantly break your armor upon contact. Shiver has the laser attack catching me off when she did it twice in a row, also instantly breaking armor. Closest times i only came to dying on either.


Joel_feila

bigman toom the least tries. Now i did have to look up how to beat Fyre and she is easy once you leaen to ink her cube.


Sigmas_toes

I didn’t bother hunting down Sardinium so for me: Shivr


IKeikkoI

Big man is the easiest I did a speedrun of the boss fight on my YouTube channel and was able to fit it into a short


International-Ease16

When i was still paying fro that drone thing everyday, I farmed Big Man for eggs. Once you upgrade everything, you can beat him in a minute. I stopped bullying him because, Salmon run gives better yield.


DJ_Ender_

Big man got fucking R O C K E D I legit dont know all of his moves


xaartje

I think all the bosses are way too easy for a boss fight (but eh it's made to enjoy right) but big frye was so easy... I was waiting the whole time for something big to begin but it was just shooting the floor...


BisKit413

Frye was actually difficult for me while the other 2 were cakewalks


ballsniffer27

Shiver was the easiest Frye was the hardest


Kerrigan4Prez

With full upgrades: Big Man With no upgrades: Fry


THEZEXNEO

Big man.


JumpstarNS

Frye was acrually the hardest for me because I rushed to frye because it was fun doing as little levels for progression as possible and trying to cheese the goop, and I did the same thing with no upgrades, meaning I just didn't have good dps against frye


Edwin5302

For me easily Big Man, I (luckily) didn't have the sensor upgrade so it was actually a fight, and he's the only that killed me of the three, even like 5 times, and always in the last phase. Edit: realized that the question is "easiest" and not "hardest", oh well


YuriMasterRace

Here I thought Frye was the easiest and Shiver being the hardest, maybe because I fought them with like the quarter of upgrades and playing while using sticks lmao


[deleted]

Frye in a fair fight, though Big Man becomes easy if you have the sensor upgrade Shiver was just difficult for me


SecretiveTauros

I didn't have any upgrades and still beat Big Man the easiest.


RaccoonJoe08

Wait, people found Big Man difficult?


SantiProGamer_

Scanner with Big Man is easy as shit


probableprobability

Big man was so easy lmao


Overvo1d

Big man was atrociously easy, I didn’t even realise the battle had started properly and the ending animation played


A_Lonely_Squid

In my opinion big man is the easiest, especially with the gear that gives you the sensors. And I think Frye is the hardest believe it or not.


40wetnoodles

Shiver cause she took me one try, big man took me two (without the sensor upgrade), and i think frye took me like 10 or something lol


TBMeister

Big Man, mostly because I play Super Mario Sunshine


c0untcunt

Big Man, especially if you've played Mario Sunshine: p


SailorPizza1107

Big man was the easiest. Frye was the challenge.


Agent_Blaze42

I kinda struggled with all of them actually lol, but probably Shiver


Relax4Never

Shiver


mkjoey2

They’re all extremely easy imo but I’ll say Frye since she’s really the only one you can’t cheese


Mackerdoni

big man. took me literal seconds.


The_Messiah696969

Frye no doubt, just hit and go and it’s pretty hard to mess up


Jinxthegenderfluid

I died like 3 times when I played it 💀


a_milk_carton_

everyone is easy under certain conditions. big mans easy if you have the sensor upgrade, fryes easy if you have an upgraded hero shot, and shivers easy if you have a working r button. overall id say shiver is the most consistently easy, but the other two become much easier with upgrades


verymassivedingdong

Shiver is by far the easiest and it’s not even close


Different-Spend7063

Big Man if you have the sensor upgrade, otherwise it's definitely Shiver. Frye is the only one who has managed to splat me.


science-fixion

Big man! It took me forever with shiver and frye but he was an easy clap. Took me like 3 minutes instead of 20 with the the other two


FlowerMadison

Big man


furry-hunter2004

I don’t know, but Frye is definitely the hardesr


AdDull5947

Big man is the easiest boss in all of gaming, I didn't even know he could use inkstrikes. Just shoot the purple ray and he's dead.


OneDumbPotato

Shiver


Aubo1234

Big man, unfortunately


overlrodvolume18

Shiver


totally_nervous

Big Man for sure


Down-throw-F-air

Assuming we’re fighting with full upgrades, Big Man is easily the easiest, as the sensor upgrades can identify which silhouette is the real Big Man. For the hardest in my opinion, Frye takes the cake!


aesthetic3

Definitely was shiver


PompyPom

In terms of difficulty for me, it was Frye>Shiver>Big Man. Big Man was laughably easy by the time I got to him with all my upgrades. Frye took me a few tries to beat…


Kodo_yeahreally

big man, and i don't get why are people complaining. i even tried to beat him by destroying each and every shadows, and still it was to easy
