monstro 2 is 2 OP?

[BitTripBoy]

Whenever i fight monstro 2 i die. I have only won against him a few times and it's not just because im bad.

[Hedonism]

so what's the second reason ? :P he's predictable if he's gonna shoot a laser beam he do a short animation, if he jump the first time he shoot 8 tears around him the second time he spawn suckers that shoot 4 tears in a cross partern when they die.

He just a bit tanky it's more time consuming than hard.

Monstro 2 isn't that difficult. You can bait him into firing his brimstone shot by standing to his side, then proceed to dodge and attack him while he's stuck in the animation.

The hardest part, honestly, is destroying his flies too quickly and risk being hit by the bloody tears that they leave behind.

It seems that he always seems to land on me. when i kill a sucker i don't have enough time to shoot at monstro 2 because im busy staying away from the tears that the suckers make. Then he shoots a lazer that always gets me and before i know it he is on top of me.

Any good tips on how to defeat him?

They fixed the exploit to get him stuck in the brimstone shot attack in rebirth but you can sometimes manage to make him do it 2-3 time in a row

what characters are best to defeat him?

[AutumnLeaf]

Another point I can make is to never stand in place to shoot at flies. Don't prioritize them over the boss. If he jumps, then forget the flies and move out of the way.

[Hedonism]

any you just need a bit of practice , of course any damage up help and being accurate with your shots will make it easy.

[BitTripBoy]

Thanks! I will try to prioritize the boss. The flys are just really annoying and i want to get them out of the way. I guess a boss is a boss

Keep moving and try your best to ignore the flies. If you can bait it properly, when he does his huge leap, he kills the flies so all your firepower can be focused on him.

Monstro II looks like a saint compared to the Cage.

Anyways, Monstro II is a lot more random than he was in WoTL (Where you could've locked him into doing his beam attack over and over again making him absurdly easy), but he gives pretty obvious tells.
When he does his first high jump, it always results in a 8-way tear blast, and Monstro II always follows it with a second jump which spawns the four Suckers (Flies that explode into 4-way tears).

Monstro II only executes his beam attack if you're standing either to the left or right of him. Monstro II will NEVER fire a beam while you're infront or behind him, which can reduce risks. Don't forget that Monstro II always smiles before unleashing that Brimstone.

The toughest part about Monstro II in general is his health. Without a lot of damage ups, it goes from a fight to a war of attrition. Maximize DPS by getting as close to Monstro II as possible unless you have Lump of Coal. Monstro II doesn't really pose a threat in close range, as his small hops are very much avoidable at most speeds.

He's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Think of him as like Monstro, yet you cant go on the right or left side of him. Stay above him or below him. Act as if his flies he creates that break apart, are 'monstros' vomit attack. He's more of a tanky boss than he is hard. His jump is very predictable if he doesn't have a status effect. He'll always jump towards you trying to crush you. Key advice if you'd like to verse him on the right or left side of him is to bait him into charging a brimstone beam then move in a quarter circle to below or above him (whichever has the most room) once his beam has diminished rinse and repeat. Goodluck! Once you've played enough you develop a second nature towards understanding how all enemies work and the tactics behind fighting them. I suggest watching Bisnap's Rebith series on Youtube as he consistantly informs his viewers on items, bosses, strategies etc. It'll give you the upper hand. Hope this helps

I watch Bisnap pretty much daily, but he can be extremely impatient; he probably would try to beat the Cage at 1 heart with Cube of Meat only.

Also can't stop hating Trinity Shield.

Monstro 2 is easy. Wat are you casul?

[Misery]

There's alot of ways to do it; I actually prioritize the flies over shooting him. Why? Because the flies, while they're out, are essentially projectiles that chase you, and you really dont want to pop them when they're too close to you. By the time I get to the point where Monstro 2 shows up, chances are I have at least somewhat decent damage, so popping each fly isnt too hard. I just pop them real fast, then shoot him. When he's NOT doing his massive leap, and is just doing that short hop he does, I stay very close to him and just keep firing. Why so close? ....I've no idea. I just tend to do that.

When he DOES do his big leap though, he'll always leap at your position, so just move, and you have a bit of time to get some shots in as he lands (just make sure to dodge his!). He seems to always follow the "big jump that sprays bullets" with the "big jump that pulls flies out of who knows where".

Piercing shots seem to make it MUCH easier. The flies can be popped the very moment they come out.

But again, like most things in the game, there's a bunch of ways you can approach him. And making good choices about items and such in the areas before you reach harder bosses like him is also important.

I find him to be one of the easier bosses. Just takes practice.

Compared to Bloat or the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mask Of Infamy he's nothing.
