Labyrinth Sentinel Cheese boss

[Commander Tom]

What a nice boss u made guys.

I especially like that one of the (20 or so) crystals is not targetable. How can you hit a target that's facing the wall for 8 of his moves. And his ninth move he will have to crystal facing up. I've watched this cubes movement path for 30 mins now. He never shows it.

Shot ALL the other crystals. and now i'm standing here.
Wasting my time .

Watch a youtube video on it as their is a trick. Before the boss fight, you can go to a secret path that leads you behind that cube and shoot it's back. Great thing is even if you die, that last crystal cube stays shot.

you can shoot most crystals within the first 4 squares of the boss fight just rotate so the one that rolls there does not crush you. take the path to the right where you have to jump over the hole in the floor take care of those 2 cubes. makes the last one easier to get. boss takes about less then 5 mins once you know where to shoot from.

You can shoot that crystal from across the small gap across from the red energy barrier.

There's 2 things regarding the boss, and I want to start by saying it IS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I agree with you 100%

However, the cube in question (back right from the point you enter, right? Touches the same path as the one coming towards you first?) IS shootable if you go on the right side. However its only available for a single turn, which leads to death quite a bit.

However, there actually IS one other way to do it. During the rotation as it goes into the wall, you can shoot at the gap with an auto gun and hit the spot.

I completely agree though, a "hidden" pathway is no excuse to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spot.

If you go to the way to leto armor mk2, you can shoot the boss' exposed ass. And then you always begin the fight with -1 cube to shoot (also the hardest cube to shoot for most people).

[Handbanana]

You can literally hit all but like 2 of the spots from the starting location. Then you just have to time it and jump across to hit the last spot.

You can tell which cubes still have spots based on if they are glowing or not.

Thanks for the help guys,I know u can beat it standing in one spot. I already did that.

The issue is the last cube NOT SHOWING AT ALL. I just saw a video, where he shot the last cube(same cube as I was talking about. But in this guy's run, it shows it's crystal to him. While in my situation, It does not. I've stood in that place several times. He shows the crystal only to the left wall.

I will try shooting that one weakspot before the bossbattle like someone suggested. I think this is my best shot to beat this bugged out boss.

Oh wow, it was driving me nutty why that exposed cube was sitting there in the wall, for the life of me, never understood why it existed, like it was some kinda secret boss skip, or glitch to do xyz to/go the labyrinth. Ultimately I assumed it was just to tee-hee got 1 before the fight, just to make it slightly easier for anyone passing through there first, had no idea that particular weakspot was such a pain... as I've never fought him without praising the leto first xD

I guess most players approach that cube from the left side, because if you approach if from the right side (outside of its pathing area, like across the gap from where it turns around) you get a very clear shot of it.

That is how I did it, never even found that secret path to take one out but that will be nice for next time.

Basically just go left when you go in and you can take 80% out right there just staying safe as it rolls over you twice then move up a bit and do the same. Eventually jump across hole and take last few out.

This was a challenging part but it was pretty memorable.

The biggest problem with this boss is the fact it isn't really a 'boss'. It's a puzzle. It invalidates any sort of builds or equipment you have since it is 'shoot glowy spot, destroy glowy spot, get crushed, die instantly'. It is basically the same experience regardless of your equipment or archetype selections. And the exact same strategy to kill/beat it. There really is next to zero 'variation' in how to fight it.

Exactly!! what a refreshing change for people who like puzzles instead of slogfest bossfights.

I have a love/hate relationship with it myself. Like, on one hand, it was fun the first few times I fought it. But now? Now it is just a chore since you do the exact same thing every single time you fight it. So it is just sort of 'oh, here we go again', thing for me.

You can say that about any boss though. I despise having to go up against that stupid slime boss in the Great Sewers. It's a boring fight that is less difficult and more frustrating.

You can also say the same about any puzzle in the environment. Once you've worked it out, they aren't much fun to do again.

At least the Sentinel is pretty fast once you know how to do it.
