Answer 1

The above poster gave decent advice, but I found it easier to shoot at the tentacle nearest you with your shotgun. After 3-4 hits, it will stop attacking for a few seconds, so you can concentrate on aiming at the eye, and not worry about constantly ducking and dodging. Use the shotgun on the eye until Salazar shows himself, then switch to your Broken Butterfly or Killer 7 (BB is stronger) to target him. The rifle will work well, too. Here is a video walkthrough that may help you:

Answer 2

Try not to be overwhelmed by this boss, it actually has a fairly simple pattern to follow. Basically here's how it works, the boss has two tentacles that will be constantly attacking you during the battle. Ignore the tentacles and focus on the central head. The central head has a large eye that you need to target, however it is constantly moving around so it makes it a good target for the Shotgun which does not need to be too accurate. Each of the tentacle's attacks can be dodged using the dodge buttons when prompted on the screen. The head has one instant kill attack which is rare, just be sure to run when it opens its large mouth and you can avoid it just fine. As you shoot the eye you aren't actually hurting the boss, just trying to hit it enough to expose Salazar the real boss. Salazar is the small little grey man who appears on the central head when you damage the eye enough and it buries into the ground. In this case pull out your most powerful gun and start attacking. One Rocket Launcher blast will kill him instantly, but that's no fun so I recommend the power of the Broken Butterfly, followed by the Rifle as a backup. After a couple of hits the boss will be covered again and you can restart the process.
