I awoke feeling energized this morning, after strange dreams of Harley Davidson ownership.
I beat the level 4 boss immediately, then proceeded through level 5 with a vengeance. Earned the Moth Hunter acheivement, stomped my way through the caves, and then fought level 5's boss and proceeded to break my foot off in its ass! God damn, I feel like A MAN!
*cough*
Maybe the source of your difficulty was your load-out going into the fight. There's a not-so-secret but sort of easy to miss room with a few Vital Suits right before the boss room. I chose one of those High-jumping chicken-walker ones. A little gun juggling and disarming of the other VS in the room allowed me to outfit my Suit with twin gattling guns, each with 700+ rounds - In the fight I found a nice rhythm, so this plus my surplus of firepower allowed me to fairly quickly overwhelm the poor beast. I did need a second VS though, but some quick rocket-to-the-face action gave me what I needed to finish the job. |
Most of the bosses have a "trick" to them, as far as I can tell. Once found the boss becomes much more manageable. For example, the boss described above was easily beatable by me even though I stupidly jumped down with NO vs. Why? There's some crap hanging over him on the ceiling that when shot... falls on him and knocks him down so that you can shoot him repeatedly in the face. And so on... |

****Spoiler Hints on how to kill the Giant Worm below!****
You can always skip him. Just survive long enough to make it to the other side of the area and you'll get to the next level.
I was able to beat him by getting in a routine. Whenever he comes up out of the ground, be sure to be standing far enough away that you can dodge out of the way when he comes dashing toward you, but not so far that he spits giant globs of ice at you (you'll know when this happens). If you're standing the right distance away he'll usually yell at you once then come dashing toward you. Jump out of the way when he dashes forward and you'll find yourself on his side with around 15 seconds of attack time. Use this time to blast the hell out of one of his orange eyes. You should have enough time for it to explode. Repeat as necessary.
When he sticks his ass out of the ground your best bet is probably a well-aimed rocket. The problem with this is that those little flying thingies get in the way. This is the only real reason I can see for taking them out. It's definitely possible to kill all of them and doing so gives you plenty of room to line up rocket shots without the small enemies getting in the way.
If you're having trouble running out of ammo be sure you're slowly but steadily making your way toward the other side of the field while you fight. You'll often come across checkpoints and ammo scattered through the snow, making it so that as long as you're not being totally wasteful you'll never run out.
Be patient and meticulous and you shouldn't have any trouble taking the big guy out. Good luck!

I don't even think you're really supposed to even kill the worm. I killed like... 1 of them and got an achievement for it and then saw another and just started running towards the end of the level. |

This is where grenades come in. Get used to counting out the stand animation and timing a grenade to be sitting next to the guy when his avatar stands up. I usually do (from the moment they flip and land) 1.2..throw.
Works pretty consistently and lets you be moving around so he can't do the STANDANDSHOOT on you. |
