When he squishes himself down, he is preparing to sock you with a big punch.
This is where he will likely get you if you are unprepared.
if you are beside him, you could just crouch and duck it.
He then levels up and does essentially all the same things.
Lastly, he will harass you from beyond the grave as a giant tombstone.
Just don’t be under him when he does.
Avoiding his tombstone attack is very easy, as it follows a set route.

Here a number of spiked platforms will approach you from its mouth.
Keep shooting, and you will walk away from this casino the winner.
