Title: Final boss help! (spoilers within)
Post by: Anonymous on October 12, 2010, 10:50:04 PM
I'm at the final boss, but I'm having a hard time hitting him consistently.

While on the ground, I can't get within firing range and still keep his head in view, so the only way I can hit him is to use the Rush Coil, but you also have to have the RC in order to finish him off, and you can only hold one at a time.

Has anyone found a good strategy to bet him?

(PS, that's amazing spritework, kudos to whoever did it.)

It's possible to hit him if you aim above his head-he'll walk into it.  You'll have to get pretty far away from him first, but you can see the head and above from the starting distance.

By the way, which weapon are you using to defeat him?  I'm using Atomic Fire.

Yeah, me too.

Once he's down, Protoman implies that you need to use Top Spin to finish him.

Yes, when he goes into his "vulnerable" phase he can only be taken out by Rush Coiling into him and letting loose with a Top Spin (By the way, start spinning before you contact).

If you're having too much trouble getting far enough away from him to aim slightly above his head and making him walk into the shot, you could always try grabbing Rush Coil, wait for it to respawn, Rush Coil into him and launch a final shot, then quickly grab the Rush Coil and Top Spinning him.  I've never tried doing that, though-it's easier for me just to shoot him from the ground, as it gives me more time.

You can use Atomic Fire against him? Geez.
I am so ashamed though. I haven't beaten him without using "fly" yet!
However, like Magnemania said, aim above his head, then finish him off with

You can also use Pharaoh Shot, and it can be useful cause it flies faster than the others. Hard Knuckle is the fastest way to take him though

I thought he was only weak to Hard Knuckle (his MM3 weakness)

I just stuck with the MM3 weaknesses.

Because I have that kind of time, I've made a weapon weakness chart for the final boss.

The best way to deal with the final boss might be to do some critical damage with the Atomic Fire, then fire Hard Knuckles as fast as robotically possible.  As others have said, aim for above his head and you should hit him more often than not.  After that, it's a relatively simple matter of using Rush Coil to hop up to his level and Top Spin him into oblivion.

Only noobs use cheats. C'mon... If you're going to beat the game, make it legit.

Wait, you can get Ballade Cracker in the final round if you beat Ballade in chapter 6.

That reminds me, he's also weak to that weapon so if you beat ballade, you've earned it  :cool:  (unless you cheated, you bugger)

Well, I obviously didn't beat Ballade, so there!  XP
