I can deal with a single octigi without too much problem but two of them is just screwed, especially as there is really no place to duck and hide from their goo in that level.

So give me some tips on how to get through. I'm so close to the end!

Stingbee 'em to smithereens, with thudslugs or boombats too. Every time they take a certain amount of damage, they disapear for a moment, leaving the other all alone. The trick is to shoot that one enough to make it disapear by the time the other has reapeared and finds you. Lather, rinse, repeat.

may I also give ya a tip? DON'T let 'em octogis get too near ya, then the most bad things would hapen n' believe me...:) if they'd get too close they'd attack ya, it's pretty hard ta escape then. but in the meantime follow Nepharskis advice.

Yeah dancing steef is right about you shouldnt get em near you.
I had to try it over about 8 times before i got them.
If they get to close or you let them get you in a corner its very hard to escape.I cant tell how menny times they were juggeling with me,as in:1 stands there and they other on the opposite side and they used there melee attack to throw me from 1 place to another and back.
Seeing the library lookt like a maze i was hopping for alot of hidding place
but they just shoot there acid through the book cases.The best thing in my oppinion is to stay in move ment.No time to stand still to aim correctly for they are lightning fast and i gues they prove that 2 are beter then 1

that thing about too near isnt a prob, if they juggle ya, then go to 1st person, choose boombats and thudslugs and stingbees (at least the thudslugs) blast them to ghosty things, head to 3rd person, shake off damage, and get the heck out of the place your standing at.

in fact the way to beat 'em fast is to run near them, and do what I just told.
the only prob there is, if ya havent got any ammo then, then ya screwed.
so after evry time you stand safe(they just flew away) quicksave.

I hope I helped
