Alloy Worship Unit

[tools guy-kun]

I finally made it to Siren’s Call after using lunar coins in the bazaar to get there. I get the nests, and summon the ♥♥♥♥ face that gives me Loader.

I bring it down to near half way, and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ just nukes the entire stage and one shots me. I’m very sad considering I had to spend lunar coins to get there since my luck of getting to the stage naturally is slim to none (yes I know it’s 33% but ♥♥♥♥ off, my luck was refusing to give me the stage in my couple dozen runs).

Found this strat on YouTube and wondering if this still works: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cnMv_gjpWHA

If not, who do you find is the best candidate to beat Alloy?

multi is fairly good at kill it
and if you want to 100% counter the attack that sends you into the air
play either acrid (for slam attack) or arti (for jetpack)

Just keep playing. Been there hundreds of times in my runs without issue.

I have Mul T, maybe I can look into using him next time. Thanks for the other recommendations, too.

This, unfortunately, helps very little, if not at all, to the question I asked.

Still, thank you for commenting.

If you're playing a melee character with mobility like loader or merc just stand ontop of it and wail to avoid the ground AOE with some moments of getting off and on if it's still able to shoot you, acrid could do the same but it is much harder and if your ranged just stay on the move and be ready to use your movement ability

First time I beat the AWU was with Engineer, excellent choice while you're still learning the boss' attacks. Assuming you got halfway-decent items in the first three stages, you could honestly just leave him to your turrets (he'll aggro on them). Depending on how much healing items you got, you may have to replace the turrets a few times. Use your shield bubble and shoot your primary at him yourself too, if possible.

Really he's only got 4 attacks to learn:
Laser barrage (horizontal)
Laser barrage (vertical)
Summon solus unit minions
and of course the big nuke attack.

Keep your distance as most characters, because the laser barrages can kill you real quick. When you see him start charging lasers, get behind cover, or just run in one direction if no cover is available. If it's vertical you'll probably go by unscathed, but if it's horizontal you need to time a jump over one of the blast once it reaches you.

Take out the minions quickly after they spawn, they're just going to be weakening you so that the Worship Unit can kill you with one shot (As long as you're over 90% hp, nothing can one shot you. This is called One-shot Protection).

For the nukes, large markers will appear on the ground. The big ones don't deal damage like the small ones, but they do SLOW YOU DOWN, and of course, they telegraph his giant nuke attack - so get outta there! Hopoo feathers and wax quails can help you escape these easily with time to spare. Otherwise, sprint and jump to minimize the amount of slowness it inflicts until you're out of it. The big nuke attack is on a pretty predictable timer, watch him do it from afar a couple times until you feel like you know it's rhythm, then you can avoid it much easier.

Good luck!

This is all you need to know to dodge the boom boom, and the lasers can all be dodged like other ranged attacks.

If you can grab Shattering Justice, Death Mark and H3ad S3t as Rex, root Alloy, seed barrage, then use volcanic egg to fly straight up and goomba stomp Alloy with H3ad S3t. Or use Brainstalk to drop ten Seed Barrage on it's head at once.

If you want i could help you. we can get into a run and ill explain things as we go. and obviously help you get loader. and even help you afterwards to get you her achievements.
if you wish that is.

The super mega turbo ultra kill move can be dodged pretty consistently with enough movement. Your best bet is to fight it on a sloped surface or near a vent so you can dodge easier.

I only have time to reply to this before I have to head to work but I’m a ps4 player. I just use the steam forums because it’s convenient for me. Also I don’t have PS+ so I can’t play with others online on it.

Thanks though, maybe I’ll get the game on PC again when I feel like it.
