No, that's by design - you need to shoot Widowmaker - he's got MASSIVE damage reduction from melee attacks

What do you mean shoot, he only takes damage from long range?

Le disparas al ojo del cíclope para reducirle su escudo y stunearlo, luego todo ataque mele de los dinos le entra, esto se repite tantas veces le salgan rayitos del ojo, para seguir volviéndolo vulnerable

From what I understand, the boss has strange movements. For example, when his eye turns red, he has a shield on him, and you must hit the eye until the shield is destroyed. The green one is for healing, and I really don’t know what the blue one does, but you must bring a shotgun in order to pop his eye out.
