This is the boss fight, be prepared before heading down the ladder.

== Objectives ==
* Destroy Tchort

== Walkthrough ==
The objective is to destroy the eye. Destroying it will also destroy all the remaining tentacles and drive any remaining Tchortlings into rage. 

Various tips:
* Injecting Exitus-1 into the crucible by solving the [[Mutagen Puzzle]] will permanently destroy 4 of Tchort's tentacles, making the fight significantly easier. Which tentacles are destroyed is random for each mutagen puzzle solution.
* Characters skilled in [[Stealth]] can bring 4 [[TNT Charge]]s and blow up the 4 mutagen tanks before combat even starts, disabling Tchort's regeneration and almost halting the tentacle respawn.
* The boss fight area has two safe rooms that the player can use to get out of combat. This allows them to recharge their energy shield emitter, wait for cooldowns to progress, and heal up with bandages. Although, after a few turns without fighting and out of combat Tchort will periodically hit the player with electrical damage through tremors. Also, keep in mind that the Mouth of Tchort and Tchortling Scanners can open doors.

Once Tchort is dead, pick up [[The Cube]] near the remains of the eye and use the console to unlock your exit from Deep Caverns.

On DOMINATING difficulty, Tchort will appear with 400% of its regular health.
