I want to smell dark matter
I failed ont he bird thing a few times too. The other thing I actually did first time somehow, but the time before when I had to fight him I died once and he killed Groose. 
That long string of purple ones with the purple bubbles just about made me RAGE RAGE RAGE. Anyway, standing up to swim helped a lot, just like it does for skydiving and flying. Remember that, Tisiphone... if you can't do something try doing it standing up, maybe it will save you from the RAGEFACE.
