So, I am nearing completion with the final level, so i figured I’d give you guys a heads up on what to expect.
The final level is longer than the others, and you’ll end up fighting nearly every type of enemy in the level. in addition to the usual 2 parts per level, there will be a third part, however this part is not a run and gun down enemies sort of deal, the third part consists of a boss run. thats right, you gotta face every single boss again, one right after another. if thats not bad enough (which its really not) they all have more health, are faster, and have slightly altered attacks. your skill choice is incredibly important! my preferred skill set is as follows…
Fury blade, Spectral Blades, Ground Pound.
the reason is, the blades are strong, and dont have a super long cool down, and ground pound deals damage even when your just jumping over bullets.
another suggestion when you get to the boss run, is avoid getting hit at all costs. dont worry about shooting them unless they give you an opening, otherwise you’ll get wrecked fast. there is a box of health in between each boss, but thats not enough to heal you fully, so be careful!
as for the final boss… well, i wont give much away about him. just be ready for a lengthy fight. no final boss ever shows their true power right away! there are checkpoints throughout the final boss fight, so no need to worry about dying and starting all over. nobody likes that. like, have you ever played megaman zero? (the first one) if you die anytime during that boss fight you have to start over. and you cant heal. huge. pain. in. the. ass. (guess theres a reason it was voted one of the most difficult sidescrollers ever)
…One last thing! there is a reward for a full clear, it wont be obvious, and youll have to find it, but it will be there! I promise its worth it! so be sure to collect every data chip, and buy everything from the shop, and beat those mini game scores!
