Just hold Famine with The Hook like on a leash.
This doesn't really help to fully defeat Famine because main problems are in Phace 2, The white spikes that slow you down And yellow saws Attacks are pretty hard to dodge.
Also few times this broke for me, Famine was able to take me off the ground or other stuff, so its not 100% success rate.
This probably isn't intestinal, and just left over from the fact Famine reuses a lot of programming from the Normal small version of this enemy(i think?), Developers possibly could fix this in later bug fixes update.
I mostly recorded this because i saw few humans on Steam Forums say they have problems with this boss, Even for me it took like 20 tries With using the ''phace 1 skip''.
Hope this Helps at least one person!
