She once said something about "going to rope" and "blackpilled" in the same line and I can't find a screenshot of it for the life of me.

So, either for just this boss or for a stretch of the game, you actually don't have a shooter-type weapon. This boss was fought with a melee weapon only, much like the splatana.

This dream also took place in a lava pit, and you didn't produce any ink.

The boss was a mound of rock/flesh, and the battle consisted of knocking back his attacks into lava until he ran out. You'd jump across solid parts of lava rock and then jump up, and swing, to do so.

Eventually the enemy grew a bunch of eyes, and you could then knock THOSE off to defeat him

Yeah so nothing about the dream really screamed splatoon but I still kinda knew it was raiders afterwards? Trust me on this.
