Let's see.

The doctor makes a resonance cascade and you go to Xen (hell) and kill a giant baby thing with many grenades to the face.

Well, i know how i edit npc values,
If you use CaveEditor, you can edit stuff like hp and damage (has a built in npc table editor, works for what your looking for)
But if you wanna stick to sue's workshop (cuz caveeditor edited exe's wont open with SW once u save) idk what you should do,

Okay, first. Do you have any idea whatsoever how hexadecimal works.
I know what the answer's gonna be, but let's hear it.

You don't know decimals?

Decimals are like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.

Hexadecimals are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10, 11, 12, etc.

OK, you've gotta know a bit about hexadecimal to hack Cave Story- so google it, and if you're too lazy to do that, you shouldn't be modding anyways.

Thats wrong.
For hacks like this you need assembly.

Whuut? I thought NPC health values were all just bytes in NPC.tbl?

...Yes, I know. To learn assembly you need to know some basic hex values.
