Singularity Hints
Echo Zek Combat Tips
1 of 6: Your best hope for winning this fight is to slow down and/or freeze the echo zek and shoot him while he's incapacitated.
2 of 6: First, use the four cryo tanks that are in the room. Have one picked up when the echo zek appears, and quickly freeze him with it. If you're too close and get frozen yourself, immediately do an impulse blast to break out of it so you can start shooting the echo zek in the head with the shotgun.
3 of 6: After he starts flashing around the room, wait until he becomes solid and comes after you before shooting or cryo-tanking him again. That means you'll almost always get frozen when you throw a cryo tank, but you'll have a few seconds for shotgun-blasting the echo zek up close after impulsing yourself free.
4 of 6: After you use up the cryo tanks, start using deadlock to create chrono-bubbles around the echo zek. They won't stop him from moving, but they will greatly slow him down, allowing for easier dodging and shooting.
5 of 6: Another strategy is to combine the cryo tanks with deadlock bubbles. As soon as you freeze the echo zek, impulse yourself free of the ice if necessary, then create and toss a deadlock bubble at him. You won't have much time before he unfreezes, so quickly start shooting him. If you're fast and accurate enough, you may be able to kill the echo zek before the deadlock bubble wears off.
6 of 6: Yet another strategy involves running over to the bunk beds on the left after entering the room. Crouch down between the bunk beds and a tilted crate, then back up against the wall. The echo zek can attack you by either running up to you or leaping at you from across the room, but he can't sneak up behind or beside you. You can probably kill him with just impulse blasts and the shotgun, though it may work better to toss deadlock bubbles at the floor just ahead of you to slow down the echo zek's attacks.
