I did this quest just a couple days too. I quite enjoyed it, and it was easy-peasy with my heat-weapons, so fortunatelh for you, I accidentally hit myself with throbb after finishing the first time when I meant to head north so I ended up playing multiple times, adjcdjadjjajdj. Janeria spawn I could kill in a few hits (one-shot if I have the Laser Drone equipped for the most part). Typhon is insanely easy when I spam him with Thermic Disruptor, but regular attacks put me close to death and I would have died if I hadn’t just T. Disrupted him.
Janeria herself is a bit rng on difficulty I noticed. First time, I killed her without much trouble. Second time I got a full loss after she did the huge opening thing and I decide to power the thing down, which also killed my shields, so she got me next round. Third and fourth times (yeah, fourth time happened because I forgot I didn’t save beforehand before examining what happens if I hand in the key cards) I killed her quickly by spamming T. Disrupt and my Plasma Blade, but she also didn’t do the opening thing again.
I would say she’s a reasonably tough opponent provided you have either heat or freezing based weapons/attacks, and we get a clear warning to do so before the dungeon starts, but YEESH, even then she’s pretty darn tough if you don’t have something like T.Disrupt on you.
Oh yes, I am a level 10 Tech Specialist equipped with Plasma Blade and Teyaal’s Plasma Caster. Also had the Drone starter perk so I could switch my Siegwulfe out for the Laser Drone, but I kind of wonder if I’m not better off keeping Sig with me so I don’t have to panic every time my shields go down. I kept Laser Drone anyway for heat damage, but in hindsight, it may be a bit redundant for my class build and weapons/perks.
EDIT: Oh yeah, question: I incidentally was toting my Goo Armor in my inventory and discovered she could gain the Janeria’s shield ability. I am thankful I always have her on even when I feel like a change of clothes, but is there or would there be an alternate way implemented for her to gain that ability like how the generic ganraels are alternatives to beating the Crystal Goo Incubator?
