Here’s a video of someone soloing Atraks-1. Other than final stand, he never picks up the scanner buff, but instead shoots random copies of Atraks-1 with a special grenade launcher. Somehow this is telling him the correct Atraks-1 to damage, but I can’t really figure out what’s going on.
Also, if you already have one of his Replicants, you can push around a Replicant that’s on the ground.
He’s just watching for boss health bar movement, I think. Not sure how it’s not triggering the wipe, though. Maybe there’s a damage threshold to cause the wipe, so stray bullets don’t accidentally do it?

It completely demoralizes me to realize we've struggled as a group of 6 with that encounter.

That’s a great write up!
There’s no way I’d have the patience for the sort of testing something like this requires, but the end result is certainly something to behold. That run is freaking clean.
Dumping his own replication charge with the doorway? *mwah*
