M-9 BELYASH will ambush you as you’re about to enter the art exhibition. It’s a colossal machine with a round head and more eyes than we’re comfortable with. It spins its head around to charge up certain attacks, making you feel like you’re about to be ground up into paste between this spinning metal skull and the ground. All of this, however, is a smokescreen for a much easier fight than HOG-7 HEDGIE.
To beat M-9 BELYASH, you need to keep your eyes on it and dodge every time it attacks, regardless of whether it’s close to you or not. The robot can charge up and hit the ground to release a circle of energy that will damage you if it catches you. Jump and dash to dodge these attacks, and then didge every time it tries to hit you with a physical attack. Most of this robot’s attacks are easy to track. You just need to keep away from it when it uses one move in particular that can draw you closer to it, ready for a hit.
If you get the chance to scan M-9 BELYASH, you might notice that it’s weak to ice and, therefore, your Frostbite ability.

These abilities are enough to get through the fight.
