Any tips for the final (?) Boss? Spoilers obviously
Talking about Fred Fuchs. Even if I get there with a bunch of lives left there's just no reasonable way to dodge and attack him. I'm having a hard time even just dodging for that matter.

When he unzips his "balls" it's pretty much game over, if I even get that far.

Anything?

Might as well be the final boss because I'm not gonna beat this ♥♥♥♥.

Haha, yes. Really one of these "you just gotta ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do it" bosses. Doesn't seem like there's an exploitable pattern.

This video may help you. http://www.twitch.tv/neorydia/c/2969005

-The first 2 parts are easy once you can identify the pattern of the fire balls. I just simply made a back and forth motion between the middle and left platforms to dodge them.
-The poo drops at irregular intervals so you can't simply find one spot and be safe there the whole time. The gaps between each one is pretty large though so if you just watch for where they will be at you should beable to get through fine (also this is the best time to grab health imo)
-I dont have a reliable way to complete the last phase. BUT the strategy I used in the video (if you want to call it that) should work for the first three difficulties if you have 2-3+ health at this point. Get on one of the pink blocks that sit higher up on the edge of the stage (next to the spike block). And as he comes under you just spam fire as fast as you can up into him and hopefully he will die faster then you do (and try to get some shots in when hes on the other side of the stage too).

Taking a look now, thanks for that!

Autofire would be so damn helpful here.

You're not only person. Because, I got Game Over (I had more, than 30 lives after beating 8th main level during first run) twice on Normal mode thanks to his stage and boss himself. I have no idea, how you supposed to beat it on harder difficulties. I'm not sure, if on harder difficulties - game disables abilitiy to revisit stages. But, there's kinda "Multiple 1-up" trick. I'm still not sure, which stage is easier to get multiple lives at the same time (mostly, cameo characters has them). So, here's trick: pick up some 1-ups, exit stage and repeat process. I didn't touched "Hard" difficulty yet, so I'm not sure about restrictions of harder difficulties.

Die once, then when you reload fire straight up with the nerd, then up-left, then left, then jump and keep firing. This should be enough to put Fred into his second phase - switch to the Guitar Guy and stay on the lowest left platform, then fire right as he lands - his fireball will miss and the Guitar Guy's shots will go through his balls. When he goes up, hop to the lowest right platform again and whale on him from the right, then repeat the process until his irritable bowel kicks in. Switch back to the nerd and get to the middle, firing straight up and diagonally to hit him. Remember you can hold either trigger to freeze the Nerd in place and still fire in all directions. With a little luck you can get Fred to his final phase before he even passes over you twice with his IBS - for the swinging balls, just stay calm and head in the opposite direction to Fred, hopping over the large ball as it passes as best you can. Don't go for the beer, it will put you in a bad position and screw up the pattern. Just shoot him as best you can - remember, you can hopefully still tank one or two hits and keep firing.

The last phase is extremely difficult and took me many tries.

Hey, thanks for the elaborate write-up. Will give it another shot later today.

I can't get past his balls either. I've tried so many times, ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Pretty much what I did is spammed him with Guitar Guy from the sides hoping he would die before me =)
40 lives later it finally happened)

I used Kyle (guitar guy) exclusively for this fight.

Phase 1: Stand on middle, shoot a couple times and jump left over the fireball. Stand on the block before the spike block and spam attack. Once he shoots a second fireball I walk off the platform to duck under it and hop back onto the middle going right of center. Rinse and Repeat.

Phase 2: Do the same as Phase one, just remember to stand near the edge of the middle when you return, sometimes its better to not attack just to dodge.

Phase 3: I hated this phase, like someone said it has no pattern and I died a lot before I got something down. I jump between the 2 platforms below the spike block (not the one block platform) to avoid the bombs, its enough room and if you pay attention you won't get hit. Once he starts going to the other side of the screen I jump to the block before the spikes and jump and shoot. Can usually get two jumps in and hit him 1-2 times before going back down to duck bombs. Patience, dodging and getting a couple hits off is better than praying you'll switch phases.

Doing this I could keep 3 beers to the last phase.

Phase 4: Wow, at first these kicked my ass. I camp the left side again, focus on dodging to get a pattern down. For the most part you can jump the long chain ball on the same platforms you used to dodge bombs. There is a tricky swing he does, I believe its on his third pass where it looks like you have to hop over the ball, but you don't. If you just stand on the platform below the one block he passes by you without damaging you, you just have to jump over it when he passes by again. Again, when he goes to the other side jump up in front of the spike block and mash the attack button. You'll whittle him down slowly and he'll hit...

Phase 5: Two balls swinging. This one is tricky, do the same as above, you will get hit though, but he'll have low enough help that if you can make it to 1 or 2 pass bys you can jump up and spam attack him. If you were good enough at dodging you'll still have the 2 beers left.

That's about all the advise I can give. I can't say much more about Phase 5s pattern because I didn't really study it too much.

Why is the AVGN's gun grey in this video? In my game it is orange.

Gun color reflects what difficulty you are playing.

I have to have died over 100 times against this final boss. It's insanely too hard, I have no idea how that guy lands the shots that he does in the video.
0dds_0f_Even Sep 22, 2013 @ 1:16am 
I have the same prob
ronny b. gud Sep 22, 2013 @ 4:01am 
Just burned through 127 lives (yes) and got him on the last one. Until he starts ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you can definitely loop him and get him down to half his health without getting hit. When the ♥♥♥♥ starts to drop it's a matter of dodging and attacking him occasionally, and the last phase was just spamming hoping he dies before I do.

Until he gets his balls out The Nerd is the best IMO, but afterwards it's just Guitar Guy for me.
