Well, yeah, I'm playing it on my laptop. Hmm. Maybe compatibility mode will solve it.

Is there a reason the program shuts down when I get out of First Cave?

It only takes 14 missiles to destroy Heavy Press from full health.

Their long range can help in some situations, like when you're clearing Monster X's room. And of course they're invaluable against the Core.

It's "Feed this one a flower", or in your version "Feed this one a pants".

Jammed pants into Curly's mouth (has this been done before?).

Spur, Super Missiles, Fireball, Bubbler, Nemesis. I'm kicking myself for that last one.

"SPAM ROCKETT", as you put it, doesn't work against Balrog III (shuts its mouth upon getting hit), Curly (has an invincible shield), or Omega (closes instantly upon getting hit), so you'd think the average player would have learned better by the time they reached Monster X. In fact, I learned...

Because I'm not particularly a braggart. But yeah, I'm currently dying to the Doctor and Undead Core. It's annoying that you have to take out Misery before Sue in that fight (because otherwise Misery launches homing missiles). EDIT: Beaten it now. Now comes the masochistic bit...

I was debating whether to add a smiley to the end of that.

What? What's wrong with using the Nemesis, besides it being hard to dodge all the crystals? I'm 100% sure Monster X doesn't let you kill it in one go - it autoshuts if you take off about a third of its health.

Heavy Press I said was hard because "victory" is more defined by "having a lot of health left" than by "not dying".

Ballos is more predictable than most other bosses. So yes, you need to memorise how to beat him, but once you've done that you don't have to think on the spot much. Not so true with the Core or Monster X. And I'd agree that the Core isn't hard if you have the Booster 0.8. If you don't, though...

Well, then, you missed enough to make you uninformed. No, it's not that. If you bothered to read the thread instead of quipping you'd have noticed that. It only visually shortens them, they still work.

Is it necessarily the case that the "red monster" that Arthur fought is the Red Demon? Or is this drawn from "True heroes encounter the Red Demon"/"Here sleeps the noble Arthur, true hero to the Mimigas"?

Yeah, Heavy Press is hard. I once got killed by Pooh Black on my second playthrough. If he lands on you, you take a whopping 20 damage.

Same thing. After all, it's not like you can tell whether the Counter's in there or not without opening it, is it?

I prefer 0 damage to somewhere between 3 and 20. Especially as I'm now doing a 3 HP run. :chin:

I had the same problem. Download the Boss Rush mod and practise on Ballos. It works a treat.

Walkthroughs help. I posted my take on it earlier in the thread. Thing about Ballos is that he punishes you really nastily if you screw up, but he's very predictable except in the last form. Hence he's "easy once you know how" as opposed to "hard, even when you know how".

Because good people don't end up running companies.

Wait, the Fireball works in that fight? I didn't know that. Hmm. It still looks at least a little luck-based. And mashing one button's quite enough for me. EDIT: Oh look, first attempt after posting this and I pull it off. Irony! I am using the missile launcher though. I'm not reallyjoel's dad.

I thought it was more of a mine-car, really. It certainly reminded me of the hilarious minecar in Abe's Exoddus. I was just on the wrong end of it. :p Yeah, that's close to how I do it. She's not nearly as predictable as the Red Demon, though. Incidentally, is there any way to make the...

I was struggling for what to call it. It bypasses that entire stage. Sure, it's legitimate.That doesn't mean it was the intended way. :p

No, Monster X is a cat. Balrog appears to actually be metallic, so he's probably the highest. @sinophile: Thanks.
