Super missiles are the best method of beating ballos's 4th form. Thing is that to deal real damage with the spur is to fully charge it. The super missile's deal above average damage and dont need to charge. In other words the super missiles can do more damage per second than the spur could in a single charge.

Why do you think that everyone speedruns with super missiles?
You'll still have a good amount of them in the end.

Truthfully (in my opinion) someone should close this thread. This is just getting insane. But I'm not a moderator, so that doesn't really count

Yes but i think that any forum member that has beaten ballos with the missiles can attest to the fact that there are enough super missiles to finish him off. And if you dont its as simple as using the nemesis or the blade for the final 5 or so hits. Meanwhile with the spur you will spend the eternity waiting for it to charge and the eyes will block the spur's laser alot of the time. Meanwhile you will have angels flying left and right waiting to knock you down into the sea of spears.

Ironhead's third form! (Warning: May give you nightmares for the rest of your life!)

p143535-0-ivebgn.jpg

Enough of this blasphemy. I present, Ironhead's third appearance! As we all know, Ironhead can span worlds, can summon other smaller fish, and can quite literally bend the UNIverse!

And now, we have a much more sinister version of him. I:
  1. Replaced his eve with a black void
  2. Took out small portions of his body

And what makes this much more terrifying than "Ballos' Fifth Form"? I darkened his body. Fear him. Now.

My point is i think his eyes should be replaced with a copy of manhunt and manhunt 2 for the scariest form.
I googled 'manhunt' and the first few results were a gay dating site.

I see what you did there.
But anyway, I'm fearing him. I fear him just as much as I fear Aidan.

I think yall's can stop calling him Aidan, the joke is getting old and he has asked. It's starting to border on harassment.

Oh, all right, Taeler...

*AHEM* SO! on topic...


I think we should decide how this 5th form would work ingame. I think it should be something extremely trippy and surreal. It'd be sort of continuing the trend of Ballos's forms getting weirder and weirder. I've always thought Pixel didn't go quite far enough in developing the whole crazy-out-of-control-magic thing in terms of gameplay. Thoughts?

@OP
Fifth form ... hmm looks more like a hollow version of Ballos? It would be good for Ballos' body. Instead of exploding, the body lands on the ground in the background during Quote and Curly's victory.

I would imagine it would melt or something and Curly would go, ?!

(alternatively, Ballos' body explodes very nastily across the room) :o ew!

Then the fifth form would end up being some kind of fleshless skeleton form. Maybe all the skulls and stuff would come together to create a giant crushing wall of skulls a gigantic skull with one RED eye?

...

Personally, I think it's more likely that the fifth form of Ballos is non-corpreal, like The Doctor's red mist form. This would be like a super version of that...

Maybe he could possess Quote or something...? (pictures that Quote Ballos mod ><)


@LOLcat .... er Wedge of Cheese :D
Hmm...

If you wanted to go that route, I'd say the floor should empty or a hole should appear in the Seal chamber after beating Ballos... So instead of Quote being saved by Balrog, you end up in some trippy evil place.

Maybe, just a completely black screen, and you land on the ground. It's all dark...

Maybe after walking a little bit, you see a young uncorrupted Ballos ahead in the darkness. If you wanted to be scary, then you only see Ballos' back to you... and when you approach he turns around except his face...
*CENSORED!* AHH!!

"So hot... the pain..."

At that point, all of the wild magic shows up or possesses Ballos once more. (Or perhaps it finally exits his body?)

Perhaps the background ends up looking like a burning kingdom.

Then the final form of Ballos ... or his Wild Magic appears.
Anyways it's a nightmare.
I don't know what the monster should look like, but at the end, a young Ballos could thank you...

After beating the final form, "...ote.." *shake*
"uo..te..." *shake shake*
"Quote!"

You wake up in the seal chamber and the seal chamber is collapsing; skulls are falling out of the walls etc Looks like there's no escape....
But, get saved by Balrog and finally it's over.

So what do you think. Too creepy or just right?[/QUOTE]

I really don't see what's really creepy about it.
I'll admit, it's creepy, but not like over the top.
It's a nice picture.

A wonderful topic (I was offline from school, so feel free to catch me up, tho I read all new posts.) I think ingame would go like this.

Disembodied voice: Well done. You robots are quite unique. I'm glad I created you.

Curly: ?!!

DV: I really am disappointed though. I excpected to kill you. You have killed me as I requested....but Now I am done. I really hope you are ready, ecause I am not *censored* DONE YET! THERE IS NO ESCAPE YOU PITIFUL CYBORGS!

Curly: WHO ARE YOU!?

Ballos: I am back. There is no escape. It was me talking and now that you have relived me of my soul, I feel clensed. I really am grateful for that, by the way.

*song that played when doctor possessed misery plays*

Ballos: ...Die.

*battle starts*
*after battle(and what I have is going to be similar to X-Calibar's)*

Curly *in a smart voice* Are you done now?

Ballos: Agh...shut up...

*ballos returns to his doctor-like toad form*

Ballos: Luckily, this place is cursed. I won't be here much longer, but-

*Balrog flies down*

Balrog: You DID it! We're not cursed anymore! But what are you doing!? Get your unconscious buddy, Curly and let's get the heck outta-

Ballos: Shut up you overgrown lunchbox! *zaps balrog with lightning*

Balrog: AAAAA!

*teleportation sound*

Misery: I sent you here Balrog to save them not fool around! Hurry up!

Balrog:...*faint*

Misery: Ugh. You idiot. Must I do EVERYTHING myself?

WUUUUUUUUUH!

*misery teleports curly, quote, and balrog to the place balrog originally says when you beet the fourth form (I don't know where. Havent gotten to ballos yet.)*

Q...e...
Qu...!
Quote, wake up!

Misery: Curly told us everything about you and your history. I'm...sorry. It was I who caused the Demon Crown to be created. I was rude to Uncle Ballos and he cursed me and balrog to obey the one who wears it. It is a powerful weapon. Thank you. Now I know I did wrong, and I know you're not the same as the Mimiga killers. Tell you what, we'll find that red crystal and those red flowers, and eradicate them. Personally I'm SICK of what the doctor's been doing. Killing mimiga. That's just idiotic. Anyway as soon as you're healed we'll go. And sorry about taking you here. But with curly's machine gun and your towrope you can get back to the Island. Kasuma and Booster and Sue are waiting. Let's go and get rid of that flower!

*quote speaks for the first time*

Quote: Thanks. I'd like that.

Curly: ?! That's strange. You don't have a voice, quote.

Quote *smiles and says* HEY! I'm not just a cold stupid drone, ya know!

*room rings with laughter, fades to black, credits roll*

---------This is almost certainly the best ending, and Could very welll have an afterstory.
