Mini and Max: Invincible Boss?

[Echoing Lion]

First thing's first, this would probably have to be my favorite game in the whole collection. Every time I think I've reached the end, I get another side quest added to the mix! I want to prepare for the last boss by tackling whatever I can beforehand. Right now, I'm stuck on the roach inside the walls.

No matter how many blocks I throw at it, it just won't go down. Is there something I'm missing? Or does it just have a lot of health? Maybe I need a certain power-up combo?

I managed to beat it by poisoning it.

[Echoing Lion]

That was fast! Your technique worked out perfectly! Thank you.

It just has a lot of health.

I killed it with blocks, and some shots from the yellow wall shooters from the micro world.

Grabbed every block I could from its side of the wall, plus some of the ones it made by breaking the big ones, while also breaking the big blocks the safe side. It died eventually, and I've got all 8 throwing upgrades. I would try using the Max boomerang, but Max has been dognapped at the moment.

Poison is probably the best method: does poison wear off before death?

I brought a throwing axe. Renewable and potent damage. I forget where exactly you can buy one, but it was more than enough to take down the roach.

the brown ants, specifically the right power outlet. Third one going left from the entrace.

I brought two knights that were patrolling outside, surrounded the roach with them and they slowly killed it as I sat on the sidelines. Really fun game in the way you can solve problems.

I love how many ways there are to solve the problems in this game, very creative

I think the biggest problem with the roach is that you can't kick it. Still, I did manage to find two items which make the fight a cakewalk beforehand. The items are listed below.

Pheromones - full invulnerability to contact damage from insects.
Hexan book - Issue a command to any insect while standing on its head. For the roach, it will cause it to permanently stop moving.

With these two, you can put it in a position where a turret virus can kill it easily while you just stand there.

As for locations, I unfortunately forgot where the second item is and can't find it, but I can tell you where I found the first. go to the cave with the stolen termite egg, and shrink again in front of one of the Termite corpses. The item is found in the first one, but I would strongly recommend you look through the others as well; most of them have other items as well. I might've even gotten the second item from there, I can't remember.
