I beat hyperion on the 1st try, he's really not much of a problem if you use focus correctly, exept on his final form with infinite homing rockets that's bullshit
PRO TIP FOR GOBLIN MADNESS LEVEL: the black goblin can only be killed with non-elemental attacks, so you need to use celestial angel or even better: a lvl2 meteor will 1 shot it
actual best weapons: plasma pistol (ripper does have more rate of fire and 2 bullets per shot but the dps is the same if not lower), magnum for longer range photon blaster for less range, shotgun, assault bouncer (precision laser has less dps even if all shots are criticals, and assault bouncer sets people on fire,but it's less accurate and has less range), .50 cal sniper(headshots kill instantly and can hold 4 shots instead of 1),focus beam(long range) flamethrower (short range, good against multiple people and with double damage boost), rocket launcher/acid hound (lots of ammo and high rate of fire, but can't instakill)
