Boss 3 balance is way off

[Broso]

Compared to boss 1 and 2 this one is so much more annoying. It moves completely randomly, sometimes it will just fo from one side to the other several times in a row. This results in a random movement pattern and bullets flying around randomly. It hits you like a truck and you do next to no damage to it, not even the mines do much damage. This is like a bunch of random crap thrown together to make a boss.

Do you have the "SNIPER" item?

I really liked this boss, actually. It keeps you on your toes, and even when it's moving fast, careful play will keep you safe while still letting you deal damage. It was the second boss that annoyed the heck out of me. Are you really expected to do super short hops several times in a row with perfect timing, taking a minimum of 4 damage if you jump slighly too high, too soon, or too late? (2 damage from the hit, which knocks you backwards off the ladder, so you take another 2 getting back into the middle.) If that guy wasn't so squishy I probably would have stopped playing.

Ah the second boss, well that one is actually a bit too easy to be fair, IF you have 3 lasers on you...

And yes, I have the Sniper item.

Just stay in the middle upper section and easy peasy

I found this boss the easiest, actually, at least in terms of not getting hit at all. While it's on the upper half, move to the lower center and you'll have to just barely move to dodge its shots; as soon as it descends go away and climb to the opposite diagonal immediately, taking a parting shot on your way up if you have Sniper. At that point if it rises head right back to the lower center safe zone, shooting it along the way; if it moves horizontally to below you head for the upper center safe zone, where as long as it rushes back and forth below you'll again have to barely move to dodge bullets, and when it rises you can just fall down, again shooting it along the way. Mines will speed things along a bit, as will some other secondaries, but you shouldn't be in any danger unless you're taking risks to speedrun.

So it is a good AI that you cannot predict.

I didn't even find the Sniper before getting this boss. Honestly, I thought it was immune to my normal shots, though the lasers I had did a number on it. I actually think I ended up killing it with Knife....

I found it to be the easiest boss, with the second one feeling unfair.. it seems like plenty of room is given but I don't know if the laser hurt boxes are off or something, but I was constantly being hit and bounced down, over and over..

I just finished the game and I found this to be the easiest boss in the game. It's the only one I didn't die on my first try at it.
