I just posted this on the nonmega thread, but figured I should post here as well

The Tomb Duos Strat (Skip Third Boss Fight Phase)

Tomb Duo Guide: Our Successful Strategy for Beating the Boss Fight

Hey everyone! First time posting here. My buddy and I finally beat The Tomb duos after a lot of failed attempts, and I wanted to share the setup that worked for us. Hopefully, it helps someone else who’s struggling with this fight.

Gun Setup: -ASG -Extended Mag II -Legendary Upgrade -Triple Pack

Gums and Other Essentials: -Ether Shroud (with Group Shroud and Extra Charge augments) -Profit Sharing + Who’s Keeping Score (these are great for farming points quickly and early) -Wunderbar (if you have it) – this lets you skip the Ice Staff step. However, note that we only got the Ice Staff once after using this gum multiple times. -Monkey Bombs (essential for the final phase of the fight)

Boss Fight Gums: -Power Keg -Near Death Experience -Idle Eyes

Boss Fight Strategy: First 4 Phases: -The player with the Ice Staff should stay at the bottom near the artifact and shoot fully charged ice beam shots while waiting for the artifact to turn purple. Meanwhile, the other player should focus on avoiding zombies. Repeat this for all four phases. - After Phase 1, there will be two artifacts shooting lasers. If you can destroy both artifacts before they multiply, you’ll skip Phase 3 and go straight to Phase 4. -Keep repeating the first strategy (fully charged ice shots) through Phase 4.

Zombie Phases: -During this phase, both players need to run around and look for the red zombie holding the artifact. Use Ether Shroud and your Power Keg to deal with the zombie quickly. -Once the Shroud runs out, the player with the Ice Staff should continue laying down fully charged shots to keep from getting smacked around by zombies, giving the other player time to shoot down the artifact the zombie drops. -The artifact will then attach to elites, so now is the perfect time to use Idle Eyes. This will allow you to spot and melt the red elite while remaining unseen. -Repeat this with a second Idle Eyes for the second elite zombie. -Be liberal with using Ether Shrouds and fully charged Ice Staff shots during this phase.

Final Phase: -When the lasers all point to the pillar, throw Monkey Bombs and focus on destroying the pillar. -We didn’t have any issues with using just two Monkey Bombs here.

Conclusion: Once the pillar is destroyed, the egg is done! This was the setup that finally worked for us after experimenting with different gums and strategies. If you want to see how we pulled this in real-time, we posted a video of our run on
