Try to keep the tentacle range of the giant squid, while being close enough to connect to the cannon attack.
As you approach the range of the shelling, avoid warning marks appearing in the water by accelerating the attacks like a mortar, quickly pass the marked red dots.
When you are at a medium distance, the giant squid will also fire a four-fork water bomb, which is difficult to completely avoid, unless you accelerate in advance before the attack arrives.
Ultimately, it is most effective to cause more damage by quickly spinning around the giant squid and drifting to switch sides during charging. This way, you can release cannons on both sides in one stage.
