Makai Prince Dorabocchan (Kid Dracula)
« on: January 08, 2013, 10:35:57 PM »
I had real problems with the final, final boss here.  Anyone else beaten him?  He's pretty much all over the place, and in his final stages of aggro, he's all over the place :(

Seems he's quite a big number.

His is!  The problem is that in (what I assume to be) his final pattern, the lightning attack is random (requiring very sharp reflexes), and his movement pattern has to firstly be avoided (damage) when he swoops down, but you also have to time it to get into position to attack him.  So I either spend ages avoiding his attacks and not doing any damage, or really go for him and get pummelled by the lightning.

Unless I'm missing something, it's really quite hard.

*edit* I've just found a long-play video that gives me some idea.
I was thinking about the previous guy, and the floaty head bit.  The guy in the video also took a beating, and made it to the final boss with one heart, but he knows how to avoid the fireball.  Maybe that's it?
