folnevar Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Does anyone know how to achieve 100% destruction on this boss? I get 90% every time. Not sure what I am missing. This is the retro looking vector boss. Any pros out there willing to make a FAQ for 100% destruction on all bosses?

WilRonward Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm no pro and this boss was also the last one I needed... Took a few tries to figure it out! You need to destroy: * Both hands [10% each] (that shouldn't be a problem) * Both cannons [10% each] = easiest part to miss! One of them shoots 3~5 ways (depending on your difficulty), the other one shoots straight lasers. The trick is: only one of them is hittable at a time. The boss needs to flip over (not turn, FLIP) for the second one to be shootable. * Body (big rectangle part) [50%] = be careful! If you destroy this, only the core will be left... so destroy the hands and cannons before the body. * Core (yellow sphere) [10%] = try not to destroy it before the rest, but that isn't really an issue The rest is 0% destruction so don't worry about it! Other bosses are pretty straight forward to 100% IMO. I was thinking of making an achievement guide for the game... But I wanted to 1CC Arcade first, and it is now obvious -even with 10 lives in Very Easy- that I won't be achieving this before quite some time. There's no way to "cheese" this game, you HAVE to get good and score big if you want to have a chance against the Last boss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chain maximum score is lower (100,000 vs. 25,600), but there are many opportunities for scoring, and it's a lot easier for novices (think stage 3-3 without restricting yourself to shooting red only). I predict your weapons will be several levels higher by stage 6 without any massive study on scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folnevar Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks for your help! I will give it another try. I haven't been keeping track really well, but I'm pretty sure this is the last boss I need 100% on. I thought I was pretty good at this game back when I had the Saturn version, but maybe it was just the attrition of having lots of continues in Saturn/Story mode. Getting my butt kicked nowadays!

I usually get to stage 5 with V15 H12 S15, scoring mostly on the 3-x levels, 100%ing all bosses, then just trying to survive. At first I thought I wouldn't benefit from switching to Ikaruga scoring mode 'cause I had already learned how to chain and survive... How wrong I was! Got to stage 5 with V18 H15 S19... lost ~4 lives I think just on this stage (yeah I hate it, never trained on it), still a lot left but Xiga always rapes me with his random (who likes random attacks??!) green lasers attack... Thinking I'm done for, all stress is gone. Then level 6 starts, and I NO MISS the sucker!! Thank you for the advice deexor!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
