Expert Mode

[Spockus]

How much harder is expert mode that regular mode? I've done the game on normal and also just finished getting all 6 P ranks and tbh the game isn't that hard for me. Is expert mode tear-your-hair-out difficult?

Also RIP that there isn't an achievement for getting all S-ranks :(

The difficulty varies with each boss. For example, Hilda Berg is much more difficult, but Grim Matchstick is the same. The only difference with his fight is that the stress moves from Phase 3 to Phase 1. Dr. Kahl's robot isn't much harder, but Cagney Carnation is a lot tougher. The run and guns don't have an expert mode :(

I don't think Kahl's robot can get much harder tbh, him and King Dice were the only two bosses who gave me a lot of trouble on normal...

Actually Grim Matchstick is NOT actually the same, the clouds go to the reverse direction, but yeah, nothing much changes other than proyectile speed.

Hilda, Wally Warbles, Djimmi the Great, Brineybeard and Phantom Express are perfect examples of the difficulty changes a LOT.

Expert CAN be hard-as-nuts if you don't know the patterns or the new mechanics. But give it a few tries, and you should defeat the boss soon.
Becuz I completed EVERY boss in S-Grade, too bad no full S-Grade achievement

Though King Dice is definetively hard, but because of some mini-bosses like the Cigar and the Bunny.

Ikr the fact that there's no "get S in every bossfight" achievement is kinda crappy...

Actually Brineybeard isn't that hard. But the difficulty curve is a lot honestly, things are a lot more quickier and unpredictable in Expert mode.

with expert bosses might have different attacks or upgrades to their attacks and I recommend with each boss equiping stuff SPECIFICALLY for that boss idk why but I always S rank it without completing the boss in expert first probably not a good idea but thats what I do

Yeah I took a few cracks at them but keep dying because I'm not used to using the smoke bomb on levels that aren't run n' guns, but that's more because idk the mechanics of the charm as opposed to the boss is hard.

If you're trying S ranks, there's nothing better than the coffee charm. Smoke bomb is better to bosses like the Devil, sugar is also handy against Captain Brineybeard.

Sugar is also good for Cagney and Phantom Express, but you have to be reeeeaaaaaally careful using it against Phantom Express

Yup, sometimes when I was trying to jump to dodge the ghosts from the third phase, i accindentally parried and the ghost damaged me.
