This Last Boss is a Pain in the Ass

[Aniaran]

Any advice from anyone? I can easily clear the rest of the game but as soon as he pulls out the laser I end up taking a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of damage.

[Mr. Blue]

At least it's not just me having trouble with this thing. I don't wanna be the "WAAAH BOSS TOO HARD" guy, but I genuinely do think some of his more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ attacks could do with a nerf. Ffs, I had less trouble with the two-minute horde rush and the three-rival cage match in the boarding lounge than this git. Middle bit's censored in case anyone here doesn't know what follows the boss yet.

It became much easier for me after I got the double dash, but yeah without it he's quite difficult

[Mr. Blue]

Thing is, I DO have the double-dash and still get shredded. I'm not gonna pretend that my deaths are all on the boss here, sometimes I dodge into a kamehameha or try to pump damage when I should focus on evasion, but some of his moves just feel like "heck you" tiers of chicanery.

Best I can say for myself is that I can consistently get him down to half-health before getting deleted from this mortal plane.

Here's a final mech boss Fail Video.

Pretty good stuff, getting there! Some tips if you want, hopefully these help others as well:
- The fast red laser rifle fire can be dodged fully with dash->slide, you get more distance with slide and can chain dash->slide infinitely (because dash cools down during the slide).
- The fast red laser rifle fire is always followed by a sword slash once you get close to the boss.
- Single big blue orb is the indicator for the floor overheat. The orb goes to the wall and then either of BOTH ends of the map can be hit to fix the floor.
- For the red orbs and huge red laser, you have the good idea to get far to give yourself space to dodge! I also dodge over the huge red lasers the same way you did, you'll need to do the same when the lasers get tighter after.

After finally beating it a few times I can agree with what others have said. It is very much a kill it before it kills you. Stand and burn. Had to tank the laser a couple times just to keep blasting for the win. Super dumb.

It really isn't like that. Everything the mech shoots can be dodged. The timing just gets super specific when the beams come out. Also getting deflection experiments helps significantly. My first few kills, I felt the same way, as I just sort of face-tanked certain attacks. Eventually, I got to the point of actually evading and moving fairly successfully.

He's just... a lot.

Trying to beat the game not spend a half hour dodging just to get a single hit in every 10 seconds.

He's easy enough if you're patient. You can find range at about half screen and walk (not dash) between the beams as they rotate and you won't get hit. You can also use the fire suit with the second upgrade and the boss' laser will heal you instead of doing damage.

When he starts firing giant orbs, stand a bit back and just use melee to hit the orbs- if you have the baton upgrade you can knock them back at him for big damage. He punishes you for being greedy, but if you take your time he's not too bad- you'll most often take damage because you're trying to do damage instead of dodging.

It really shouldn't take more than about 2-3 minutes, even without losing a Caress.

How do you upgrade suits if you can't beat the final boss? They all say locked until you make your first escape.

I'm pretty sure upgrades are locked for the guns until you beat the game once, but suits can be upgraded whenever.

oooh ok, my mistake

[acefondu]

Finally beat the last boss, then died during the escape section lol. But then another trip there I beat it. I find the escape section is dumb if you beat everyone there, you should just win instead of having to survive a 5 minute gauntlet.

[Samseng Yik]

Nothing much to say aside from dps race.
In the past I focus evading the fire laser, but I find no point prolong the nightmare.

So I shoot and "try to sync the movement" with laser.

Turn out focus fast killing the boss is better than hades style hiding

[Samseng Yik]

As for the final room survival.
Actually you can just wait the rival arrive first, then you just go in.

Bypass the annoying deadly endless monster spawn survival pointless event
