How are you supposed to beat Mega Death?

[DarkWolf]

More specifically how do you dodge his laser attack that covers the entire arena at once, that leaves no safe area and takes all my health?

get really lucky. if that fight lasts more than 2 minutes, you are unlucky. just dome him before he makes an attack.

ideally, your attacks should deal 2k - 10k damage with a fast fire rate to do that.

The one with tons of lasers usually have a safe spot on his left or on his right. On the opposite side of where he started to attack. In Phase2, he will do one side then the other, you have to dash through the boss to avoid the second strike.

If you are speaking about the one with the rotating lasers, don't move as soon as you see the telegraph but wait a bit then move by doing circle clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the pattern, and the boss will rotate between clockwise and counterclockwise pattern. The trick is not to panic when you see the red telegraph and remember there is quite a delay, if you try to dodge the red telegraphs, you'll get hit by the current wave of lasers.


It seems impossible to dodge at first but it's entirely possible to do a no hit of all his patterns.

if you just want to beat him once with any character, I suggest you to do it with sorcerers soul heart build.

stack a lot of soul hearts, choose the "damage per soul heart" trait and dont get hit till you get to mega death. by then you'll have big ♥♥♥♥ damage and health, impossible to not kill him at this point, no matter how many times he hits you.

EDIT: someone made a guide for it https://steamcommunity.com/app/2088570/guides/

I had the Death Beam which did 10k damage before crits, with reloads and refire on dash, and 5 stamina. It killed every other boss before they could attack. The problem was not killing Mega Death, it's avoiding his blanket of lasers from every angle with explosions in phase 2.
