Tips against the old king

[Herr Gutentauben]

I'm 16 hours in...i'm getting better and gaining consistency on my dodges. I've even managed to reach the 4th chamber many times but...i have never been able to beat the old king.

He is extremely tanky and tricky to dodge....any help please?

A lot of people think the old king is the hardest boss in he game. Perhaps you should skip the Abbey until you can beat the fourth floor

but you need to beat the abbey for the bullet that can kill the past don't you?

Nope, it's not necessary for that

The Secret floors are not necessary to beat the game.
They are just bonus challenges for some unlocks.

I had an amazing run going... multiple A aand S tier weapons when I beat the old king... took all of my ammo to do so. He has a TON of health to get through.

Usually, unless you're very unlucky, getting to the old king gets you a lot of good items and weapons to beat him, still it's very hard to do it, I'd say since not getting hit doesn't give you any reward try to get hit AS LESS as possible and maximize dps (since he has a LOT of health), keep a distance and stay near the walls... good luck

Do not use beam weapons - you need to dodge roll as much as possible with dps along the way

Fight near the edge of the room as the spinning chaser dammed bullet needs to be erased using the wall in order to dodge well as well as the flying skulls and spreded bullets that encloses into the bullet king.

There are two attacks that the bullet king shoots in all directions and they are the dammed bullets and the finisher after he spins around. You will need to dodge roll forward for both attacks but becareful since the dammed bullet attack will sometimes have two layers and the finisher attack will have leftover bullets from the spinning attack. You want to land on an empty spot.

always keep a distance, since the frontal spray attack will be undodgeable if you are too close (too fast and too wide)

basically, you need to outlast with dodgeing keeping up dps. Unless of course you have a godly setup :)

P.S. If you have a weak weapon or health it is very tough to get past him ;D

Just a couple of tips from a player that always take the long way
