how do you defeat the last boss?
Viewing post in Dr.Dashley Runner Release comments
okay figured it out but the boss feels unfair and I mean this in a pure technical standpoint. see the thing is his attacks and pattern are really easy to dodge which is fine, its only easy when you figure out his mechanics. the problem is his armor it is way way way too chonky of a health sponge and i get it im not used the very best gun in the game (which im pretty sure requires me getting the red coins but ive been plating this game on patch 1.7 and ive seen the hell that could be ON EASY MODE though im using normal for the boss) but im using the secound best fully upgraded and it takes on avarage 30 shots but because of the recycling upgrade it could actually be way more because im counting the end bullet to figure this out and it varies drastically. thats not only a large shot count but a massive amount of time just dodging and shooting and reloading if you run out by shooting the pea shooter. you also have to count of him just flying around for two minutes so the battle isnt actually terrible diffcult (except for the kaizo ass lazer and saw things but thats more of a me not being that good at dodging than the boss being bad). the game is balls to the walls one hit you die hard but ussally its my fault when I lose because i either messed up the timing or didnt notice a game mechanic like the lamps turning green for the spirit wind and doging under the blue dragon makes him stand still untill your ready which helps with platforming. the last boss is kinda just "hope you can whitlle down his armor while you dodge and god forbid that you make a minute error and hit his kill zones, oh and if you do get to the kaizo portion lets hope you memorized and dont make a single mistake or its another five minutes hopefully to get to this point again". im pretty sure that your not supposed to even get that mega gun unless you play hard mode so if im playing normal the boss should be scaled to the shot guns damage. sorry if it sounds like im complaing too much but ive been on this boss fight for 3 maybe 4 hours now and uasally your bosses, after figuring out theri mechnic, take like 5 trys at most maybe ten for the harder bosses
okay i know i just finished that whole rant but im gonna go on another one because your game has kinda got me in a obssessed (compliment) state and if i dont figure how to kill the boss soon im gonna lose it. anyway, his parts should have indivual health bars that are visable because even you dont change his item healths i should be able see them espically if i break the wrong one in the wring spot its instant death. the health bars will also help with the lack of feedback, i have no flipping idea how much damage im doing or if my attacks are even having an effect, and having a health bar tick down will help me feel less like im in purgetory till the kaizo kicks in. like again you did very well on this game and all of the bosses while frustrating have been fun while still being fairly diffcult but in your effort to make this final boss top them all you kinda made minor mistakes that create a worse experiance. okay i should be done ranting for now im gonna take a break from the game and hopefully ill figure out how to defeat the boss later
This boss is gonna test you for sure.
And its also gonna check you if you got any of the upgrades and new weapons.
If you don't this boss is almost impossible specially with just your first gun.
But since I am a gamer myself I now push you in the way of unlocking the Railgun or you go and find the hidden levels and do the challenges.
Or you farm up the gems.
Try the boss again and you will see he is really easy once you know the tricks of him.
And the last boss has a blind spot if you double jump and jetpack at his armpit level you can damage him
Good luck
okay , when I said I figured it out i was doing the things you said, using upgraded shotgun to shoot at armoit level and was even got to where he does the butt smash thing that is where I died and haven’t been back since so maybe if I get this rail gun I finally be able to beat it . Just a few questions
1.hidden levels? Where! I only think I found a hidden one on the very edge of the lab where you buy upgrades but I can only see barely, could I have some hints or instructions on how to find or get to them.
2.are railgun parts behind red coins or hidden levels or is it a mix of both
3. What in your opinion is the best place to grind gems because I use the place right after the purple blue dragons throne room where there’s a gaint gem and an extra life with a respawn pad close bye.
Your game has made me obsessive so those rants were more gamer rages than anything, I hope you continue to update the game to fixes bugs and maybe if god smiles apon this game add more content
Hello
1. if you look at the machines in front of the portals you can see what you can collect.
If you want to acces the hidden level you must disable easy mode and find the hidden level in, HUB 1 Temple, HUB 2 Castle, HUB 3 Alien.
These levels are really tough since its filled with traps (and checkpoints so you will die a lot) so pack up on lives if you attempt these.
2. Just hidden levels or farm up gems to buy the gun in the shop, and you can try for death_coins because they will also give you a pack so you can carry more ammo.
3. HUB 2 Temple level up the shortcut kill the minotaur, Spooky 1 for early farming, or City Level 2 for late game farming (the fights)
You ranting is a good thing because the game interests you, if i get more bug reports I update the game and maybe tweak some of the game, no promises :P
And later as I took a long break ill make something more, I am having a few idea's.
Good luck with the challenges.
