Exit the Island Within the Time Limit
Once you've defeated Saddler, make your way off the island before time runs out. The enemies you encounter will be incapacitated, so you can safely ignore them.

Tips for defeating the final boss |

Focus on attacking the eyeballs on the joints |
When it's down, get close and finish it off with the Knife |
Shoot the nearby cans to make them explode |
Defeat the second form with the Rocket Launcher obtained from Ada |
Focus on attacking the eyeballs on the joints
In the final boss battle, concentrate your attacks on the eyeballs on its leg joints. Breaking one eyeball will momentarily stagger it, and breaking two or more will cause it to go down, giving you a chance to deal massive damage.
When it's down, get close and finish it off with the Knife
When the final boss is down, approach it and press the R2 button to inflict heavy damage with the Knife. If you manage to down it from a distance, it's recommended to aim for the long frontal eyeball section.

Shoot the nearby cans to make them explode
If there are cans near the final boss, shoot them to make them explode. Hitting the boss with the explosion will stagger it, allowing you to attack the vulnerable eyeballs at the back more efficiently.
Defeat the second form with the Rocket Launcher obtained from Ada
When the final boss transforms into its second form, it will launch multiple attacks, so use the ◯ button to dodge. As time passes, Ada will throw you a Rocket Launcher, so aim for the central sphere and shoot to complete the strategy.
