I've tried many times, get through the first tentacle wave, then shoot it in the eye 3 times, the 3rd time you run in, shoot the blue things, then grenade in the mouth sure, then saw the tentacle again. Then he keeps chomping the boat, and if you don't back up you die from getting smashed or he brings it down. I keep shooting the eye with my friend, but we cannot get past the second phase there.

None of the online guides give good Insane tactics. Anyone have a concrete strategy or able to tell me what I'm doing wrong after I saw the tentacle the 2nd time after the grenade in the mouth part? I can never survive past then.

Any good links? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

That's pretty weird; you're doing everything right, so that isn't the issue. I'd say keep trying. For the record, shooting its eyes doesn't achieve anything. Just keep trying and make sure you get far enough from the mouth to not get eaten by it. Don't waste time or risk your life shooting the eyes, because the only damage done to the massive fish is inflicted within its mouth.

You have to go inside his mouth again and do the same thing, shoot the tentacles and drop a nade in its mouth. Not sure if you have to repeat 2 or 3 times.

Yes this I know. But every time I try to sneak into his mouth after the 1st grenade, he crushes me. I am able to sneak into his mouth with ease on the 3rd shot to the eye on the first wave, but I keep shooting his eye to open the mouth and he ALWAYS closes it and kills me before I can get in on the second attempt to get in and grenade him.

So your friend didn't die after you went in and handled business? That's what happens, my friend usually gets chomped after the first time rushing in.

What are you shooting with? I just hit the eye with one burst from the lancer and then run in. There has never been any sort of danger to get eaten. Yes, on insane.

The lancer as well. Apparently I just need to be closer to jump in quicker is what everyone keeps telling me.

Just tried it again. No problems. At the beginning there are six boxes on the boat. When I shoot his eyes I'm standing between the 2 in the middle and roadie run into his mouth when he opens it. After his first attack there will be only 4 boxes left but you keep standing between the same ones as before.
