Monstro II got too OP
Alright, so don't get me wrong here. I like the way they've fixed the exploit where you could let him shoot lasers at you over and over and over and... well, over again.

But really, does he HAVE TO DO ONE HEART OF DAMAGE EVERY HIT? It's the friggin' depths, not the womb for fs!

If you're in a challenge run: It's over. No way you can ever save yourself. Honestly, I'm having less trouble fighting 20 bosses in a single room for 2 items, then fighting Monstro II. It just doesn't make any sense.

Stay above or below him. No lasers. Problem solved.

Honesty I think Monstro isnt too bad. The new bosses are a lot more unfair.

I've fought monstro 2 a few times so far, and have yet to been damaged at all.

It's not just the lasers. It's EVERY SINGLE HIT, that does one heart of damage. The tears, the flies, everything. It just doesn't make any sense.

look at the shadows, not the shots. You will never get hit again.

Play on an easier difficulty if you think it's too hard then. :l
To be honest, I like that he does one heart.

He is super predictable, you just need to learn his moves and you're good. Laser left and right, jumps fire shots in eight directions every other time and summons four red flies every other time, alternating.

Later levels have always been one heart per hit. Works the same as in the original game.

Ok, so a lot of people are misunderstanding me here.

The point I'm trying to make is that it's weird that they've made Monstro II do one heart of damage, even though it's a boss in the depths (where you should just take half a heart of damage).

So please don't come ranting about how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ I am at the boss. I know his patterns. I know that he isn't that hard. But I'm talking about CHALLENGE RUNS. Ever done "Solar System" and came across Monstro II? Or "Cat got your nose"?

I just want to clarify for myself, why they've made the decision to let him do one heart of damage, before it actually becomes part of the game. I just don't get why did that.

He does more damage because he is far easier to avoid than most bosses, so you are punished more for failing. Otherwise he would be even gimpier than he already is.

Solar System and Cat Got Your Tongue have issues with practically everything because they are dumb gimmick challenges, not because of anything related to Monstro II.
Quackertree Nov 7, 2014 @ 12:02pm 
Ah, ok. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

And yeah, you're right about those challenges. They are the worst. :\

I've done many challenge runs and I've come accross Monstre II a couple of times and he's not hard at all. Just don't trigger the laser and the rest is a cakewalk. I almost want to reset when I get it by that thing since it's so easy.

I agree with OP.
Sidyctism Nov 7, 2014 @ 12:17pm 
i think the problem is he has too much HP
Curious Duck Nov 7, 2014 @ 12:24pm 
Monstro ll is fine. Just need to learn to dodge.
