Indeed. I mean, when I first heard about it, I thought they would actually make the game harder. I was wondering if Ballos had 12 forms or something. :p But nooooooo.

I posted the way I fight Ballos in the "which is the hardest boss" thread. It's nowhere near as fast, but it takes a lot less damage. IIRC I beat him from 40 health or so without using the exploit on the last form and without the potion (don't think I used any missiles either).

Also, I heard the Hard Mode basically consists of an enforced 3 HP run and the Easy Mode halves all damage taken. Is this true?

There's a trick to it. When he charges (he screws up his face right before charging, so that's the cue) do a long jump over him. He'll fly at you, so run to the left. Do a high jump over the fireball and bone spray (a classic mistake is to be running away from Ballos and jump in the same...

No, it doesn't. However, the Counter won't show up if you've already locked yourself out of Sacred Ground (ie if Curly's dead).

What, like the Super Missiles?

I presume you mean "Run!"? Eh, it plays outside of boss battles more than in them. (Yes, I know Gravity plays outside of a boss battle, too, but for all of 5 seconds, so it doesn't count.)

Five. Oppression.

The first time I beat it I used nothing but the Blade. You can imagine how long that took.

Yeah, one of the biggest holes in my playstyle is that I don't use rockets enough. Did you figure out that the bullets can be killed to give you health and energy back? Especially if you're using the Blade lvl 3, you'll almost never get hit and can simply pick up hearts when you do. And I...

What weapon were you using against it? Also, were you using a walkthrough? Monster X was the first boss that drove me to consult a walkthrough IIRC. Nah, I've never really thought Ballos 3 was particularly hard either. I mean, all you have to do is avoid getting hit by the eyes. That's...

It's the same line on PC.

Personally, I think Monster X is the hardest, with The Core second and Ballos third. What are your opinions? EDIT: The Core's only in second spot if you don't have the Booster 0.8.

No, because without your help Curly's stuck in the Labyrinth after being severely damaged by Misery. Incidentally, what happens if you get to the Boulder Chamber without curing Curly? Do you just have to go back?

The first time I played Cave Story, I didn't realise you could scale the Outer Wall.

Quote/Sue? Just no. They're friends, but she's a little girl FFS. :momo::muscledoc::balrog:

I didn't actually say what I liked. There's a few things worthy of mention. It's hard to pick a "best", since I'm sure I missed something. 1) the game allows you to bow out and doesn't invoke "karma" on you. 2) the music works. "Gestation" is particularly good. EDIT: And Geothermal. 3) the...

This... is key to almost every RPG ever made...?

Well, there are places where it's useful. Such as before Monster X, when you want to kill some of the flying Gaudis on the right without triggering the start of the boss fight. The Missile Launcher's range is longer than anything else, even the Spur. But yeah, there are quite a few bosses with...

You have to get the Fireball? Can't you just not talk to Santa? I mean, I know you have to go into his house, but don't you only get the Fireball if you talk to him?

More seriously, they're probably a representation both of how Ballos himself wants to escape from life, and of all the people slaughtered when he lost control.

Demon Crown wearers, not doctors. Being a doctor is not required to use it. :D

It's worth noting that the Drolls disappear with the Mimigas, but the Midorins do not.

Um, okay?
