Neverending green orbs in the Nihilanth fight

[Alex Reynard]

I just got through the end of this %@$#!&! game and it was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. So I get to the Nihilanth chamber, it starts shooting green orbs at me. They take me to other rooms. Okay. Problem is, for the entire rest of the fight, it never STOPPED shooting these green orbs. I read somewhere they'd eventually stop. Nope. I read somewhere else they could be shot down. Nope; tried every weapon in the game. I kept getting sucked back to that huge room with the water underneath and the two pink trampolines. And half the time, when I managed to jump to the portal on the ceiling, it'd take me BACK to that same room and I'd have to jump to the portal AGAIN!! When I did manage to get back to the Nihilanth chamber, I had about thirty seconds worth of time to shoot at him before the green orb would suck me up again. I thought maybe killing the Gargantua that appeared in the trampoline room would change things. Nope. Kept getting sent back. Over and over and over and over. I only managed to win against the Nihilanth by constant save-scumming and managing a jump inside its head where I fired everything I had.

The game can't possibly be set up like this for real, can it!? Please tell me this was a glitch!

2013 update messed with the level coding, as the game was transfered to a different loading system

they has a limit, in fact, but just when Nihilanth is very wounded, and they send green orbs when you are swimming in the last chamber... Of course they are buggy, but they has a limit.
