==Walkthrough==
==Walkthrough==
The boss fight takes place in an circular arena similar to the other boss fights in previous games. Directly to the right behind the [[Spawn point]] is a speaker that plays the [[Easter eggs|disturbing boss screams]] found in Octo Valley and [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]]. Despite the kettle being located in Octo Valley, the mission takes place in Splatsville because it is only accessible through ''Splatoon 3.''
===Phase 1===
===Phase 1===
During phase 1, Ashley will be standing on top of a Sanitized Octonozzle. During the fight with the Octonozzle, Ashley will be attempting to splat you with her E-liter, and you'll have to restart at the checkpoint if you get splatted. The Octonozzle can be defeated in a similar way as [[The Dreaded Octonozzle!|before]]. The Octonozzle will have all its layers extended, so to defeat it, you have to shoot all of the tentacles from all three layers. Once all tentacles have been drestroyed, the Octonozzle will explode, making Ashley fall, allowing you to splat her.

During the fight with the Octowhirl, Ashley will be attempting to splat you with her E-liter, but after being knocked off, she will place three [[Ink Mine|Ink Mines]] as another defense. Like the Octonozzle, the Octowhirl can be defeated in a similar way as [[The Rampaging Octowhirl!|before]]. To defeat the Octowhirl, you have to get it completely submerged in your ink, which will make Ashley fall and reveal the tentacle. You then shoot the tentacle to destroy the Octowhirl and then you splat Ashley.
