Robot Boss Help

[DukeEdwardI]

I don't get it. How are you supposed to beat him? It's impossible to dodge the red orbs and spam the attack button enough to barely even destroy ONE of the five crystals. I've got 200 health, fully upgraded sword/crit/hammer perks, level 5 sword, level 3 armor. Seriously frustrating.

Which robot boss is that?
I don't think I've come across that boss yet and my sword and armor is Lvl 4.
Perhaps get more orbs?

[DukeEdwardI]

It's the third one. At the top of the clock tower on the Robot world. Was hoping I could avoid grinding for more xp/orbs, but that's what I might have to do. Lame.

Try using the Hammer and the Shuriken combo. The shurikens work a lot like ripper projectiles in Doom in that it does damage for every tick it is inside an enemy. Extended Invincibility frames, extra Health/Armor and the chance for armor to not be deducted when blocking would help.

It's a lot harder to do this boss using the melee build than a ranged build, simply because of how difficult it is to stay in attacking position up close. Just keep practicing, you'll eventually get it.

Finally beat him. Just went back and collected a bunch of leftover orbs and upgraded the sword/armor to max and just used a combination of sword/hammer attacks. Put more priority on dodging the orbs than doing damage.

And now I'm stuck on the very last boss. Before I can even hit him 3 times I'm down to half health. Having to wait for 4-5 different near unavoidable attacks (can't avoid the spinning fire AT ALL), to only damage him for maybe 1/4 health with a yellow orb is ridiculously frustrating.

I'm stuck at this guy now as well. Feels like a very dramatic spike in difficulty considering up until now I was mostly breezing through on Normal. What I find irritating most of all is that the fruit outside his room doesn't respawn. I picked both up first time I got to him, but then I gave up to go find more orbs. Now I'm back but it looks like they're just gone, which means I'd have to redo the second half of the tower to minimize damage. It doesn't even seem like he drops any pickups during the fight at all.

Bit of a nightmare to be honest. I'd be more inclined to look for missing orbs if I had a map or some kind of indication as to where they or missing keys are located within a specific area, but as it stands I don't really feel like aimlessly retreading old grounds. I think I'll be shelving this game pending a few more attempts tomorrow.

It was super fun up to this point, though.

Yep I can confirm that.

This guy is a pain in the ass...Its absolutely impossible to beat this guy on Hard mode.

I tried it 20-30x now and Im really frustrated.

You can`t dodge this red orbs. I got health regeneration and during the fight a level up, but it is not possible to kill this guy...

Even you have to "jump up" to beat the crystals in close combat on ground...Then you have to stay on this moving platforms up ahead and dodge this orbs AND fight this crystals.

This suxx. Please Paul fix this boss... Its not possbile at moment.

How dare you say it's impossible ;)
Of course it's possible! Otherwise nobody could have ever beaten the game on any difficulty above normal.

Most people make the mistake and think the game is just for little kids and there should be no challenge in the game at all. But I find these kind of games boring. All my games will be challenging, even if you don't play on the hardest setting. Also even little kids can manage all kinds of challenges, sometimes even better than adults.

For your particular issue with the robot boss, there's a great video on YouTube from Omgarrett who beats the boss on Ridonculous. Maybe you can check it out and see what he's doing differently:

May be it is possible, but too hard, or too long) So I came to ask for adding immortality cheat code to have a choice of taking challenges or not)) There is another moment I really hate - jumping through cogs in the tower to obtain the yellow key. This is imbalance I think)

I personally had more trouble with the robo-ape boss than the final boss because of the yellow bananas hitboxes.
Was Ridonculous supposed to be extremely hard? I don't try to brag or anything, but the game is VERY forgiving. (block / invulnrability shield / free full recovery by lvling up)

My suggestion that will definitely help against any boss would be to start the battle with about 70% exp, then midbattle via combos you'd recovery all of your health and mana.
As or the final boss - use only charged attacks and make sure you have the butterfly relic to maximize your damage.

I didn't think this boss was worth recording, but I'll post a vid for you guys and hopefully you'll get some pointers.

I beaten him today! Now! Strange, but it wasn't hard, made it from the first try, although I failed dozen times before... But now I forgot where lies the second part of mushroom relic, oh dear)))
