yeah just spamming the monster with the blade is the most easier way, the sword can easily destroy as stuff fired at you so it shouldn't be a problem compared to other boss's :S

Hi guys.
Thanks for all the recommended 'what game' advice.
Ok, I hear what your saying Rooni Wazlib. I did jump the gun with my comments about the game I'll complete it first, then post my final thoughts about the game...I have no doubt they'll be good though
Guys, would you be so kind to throw me a few tips on how to defeat Monster X? You know the room where you take the 'cure all'..is this the closest save point to Monster X? Also, when Monster X stops moving and opens up..where's the best place to stand when taking out the green targets inside?
I've been standing directly below, between the treads, firing upwards..but I seem to be taking a lot of hits here......?
Yup that's the nearest Save. Your HP should be a MAX of 41 now. If it's not 41, you've missed a few life capsules. Replay the game till where you've reached in that case, since you'll meet bosses 10 times harder, and you'll need as much health as you can get then. I dunno how many missiles you must have now, maybe someone else can clarify that. Either way, you won't need missiles till 2 bosses later. So, Monster X...
You've got mainly two weapon combination choices here -
Blade lv. 3 + Polar Star OR Blade lv. 2.
Here's a tip to level down the blade and fight in lv. 2-
Level DOWN your blade to halfway through level 2 outside your save point ( Get hit by monsters till your health is around 10, go inside, revive, save, rinse, repeat. Once you do that, it's easier to kill MX's purple projectiles. Also, NEVER stay on the wheels when MX's changing direction. And make sure you're on the edge of the "playing field" when he stops and opens up. At this point, spam a few blades and run out into the open, destroying all the purple thingies he shoots at you. You can afford to take a few risks, since you have a weapon with a great rate of fire. Just make sure you finish the four green pods with a decent amout of health. If you've lost lot of health destroyng the first and second pod, DON'T destroy the other 2 before revivng a good amount by destroying projectiles for power-ups. The Game is much more straightforward once the pods are gone. Spam the blade and, once MX closes down, destroy the missiles while keeping an eye on MX.
(Read the next part just incase blade levels up during the fight.
Blade lv. 3 + Polar Star
OK, this is from an FAQ by HAPPYPUPPET. It's a flawless run FAQ , so it assumes that you never get hit in the fight, therefore, that your blade never levels down. If it does, just level it up using the projectiles. Just try to not take ANY damage while fighting MX, and you'll most likely have just managed it.
Talk to people in the clinic, enter and leave. If Curly isn't gone yet, repeat.
When she's left, you're ready to move on. Make sure you save.
Make your way towards the right. You'll see Monster X there. The fight starts
farther right in between the two small ramps of destroyed blocks. It's hard to
describe... maybe some ASCII art will help?

The S represents when Monster X will start charging at you (the same time the
Boss Music begins). Use the Bubbler's range to kill as many Gaudis as you can
before you start the fight.
= MONSTER X =
The real pain about this battle is how long it takes to get to him from the
last save point if you die.
Finish off the Gaudis on the far right quickly. When Monster X reaches you,
ideally there will be none left. If there are, things might get tricky, with
dodging the treads and the Gaudis that are left both. Eliminate them quickly.
For both phases of this battle, try to time it so that Monster X is as close to
the edge as possible when he opens his center up. Having a lot of room to move
around to dodge his attacks is key.
You should already know Monster X's movement pattern. An important thing to
remember is not to be on the treads when he changes direction. Don't let the
chance of the game's physics decide whether it just barely knocks you off of
the treads and leaves you no room to escape being crushed.
For the first phase, he has 4 little pods that shoot the same things as Flying
Gaudis. When he opens up, throw ONE Level 3 Blade at his center, then run out
into the open, pull out the Polar Star, and dodge/shoot the projectiles. It's
too risky to try to damage him any more, because there's going to be so many of
the projectiles, and it's a one hit kill from them. Once he has only one or two
pods left, you can afford to be a LITTLE bit more aggressive. Don't get
careless.
When all four pods are gone, he enters the second phase. Again, when he opens
up, throw ONE Level 3 Blade at his center and run out into the open. Blade the
homing missiles he fires. There should be 2-4 left when he starts rolling at
you. Get rid of the missiles as fast as you can. This part takes awhile and
there's a lot of opportunity to get hit. Expect to have to try Monster X many
times before you finally defeat him.
If you're feeling lucky, hit Monster X with as many blades as you can while
dodging the missiles he's firing. If you hit him enough, he'll stop firing and
start rolling again, and you'll only have to deal with about half the missiles
you usually would. This is risky though, especially since you can't afford to
get hit.
I tried using Level 3 Missiles on both phases, but they didn't work too well on
either one of them. Stick to the Blade.
When you win, some little rodent pops out of the destroyed machine. Man this
game is weird...
= DEFEATED MONSTER X =
As I said, this is a flawless run FAQ. Threrfore, 1 HP kill would mean 2+ HP damage to you.
EDIT: What say reserve this thread for gameplay related "I'm stuck!" problems
rather than hijacking it completely.
