Andross Boss Fight Guide

Venom 1:

Fly through doors 1, 2, and 6 without hitting the walls
Crash through doors 3, 4, 5, and 7
Your wings will break on the 3rd hit and laser upgrades repair them. If you crash into 2 walls, then pick up a laser upgrade, then crash into 2 more walls, you're fine. If you crash into 3 walls without the laser, you'll lose your wings.
Trigger for the boss fight is the last laser upgrade, before the . Get to this upgrade as quickly as possible by full-boosting towards it

Phase 1:
1st person and look up once the boss fight triggers, until the top of his head stops shaking
Shoot Andross' left eye and destroy his right hand
If Andross pulls back (further away from you) his left hand before you destroy the right hand, shoot him in the left eye again. If you don't, Andross will succ you in and this wastes a lot of time
Shoot his left hand and then his eyes

Phase 2: 
First person and look up until the last explosion sound
THE HITBOX IS HIS CHEEKS, NOT HIS EYES

Venom 2:

If you have no bombs and no wings, retry stage immediately
Fastest tunnel path is Right -> Left. If you have single lasers, go Left -> Right -> Right

Phase 1: Same as Venom 1

Phase 2: 
Do a loop immediately
Throw a bomb at his eyes after you loop
Shoot him anywhere to make him teleport behind you. If Andross runs away, that sucks, but just chase him
Take a sharp right turn once he disappears. Shoot him in the cerebellum. Repeat as required

Escape: Don't go the wrong way

Katina 1 Loop Tutorial

Katina 4 Hatch Tutorial

WARNING: This trick is the hardest in the game. That being said, it requires a LOT of practice to get down. This tutorial is meant to give you an idea of how the trick is supposed to work. 

If you're currently aiming for a 22, you almost for certain need to do this trick (you can still get a 22 without it but it's really difficult, as in you need to be almost perfect at everything else). 

A note: there are other ways of doing this, but this has been the easiest one for me.

1 loop strat, developed my an unnamed former runner (not LylatR). This is much faster and saves a good chunk of time, but MUCH more difficult: https://www.speedrun.com/sf64/guide/2mojy
