Monster X

Hi
I'm new here and have just started playing Cave Story within the past week or so.
I have got as far as the boss Monster X, and am stuck! I really cannot figure out how to do damage to the thing. If anyone could please help me with this or give me a few tips, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

I'm inclined to say that Monster X is actually the hardest boss in the game besides Ballos. I had a hell of a time trying to beat him the first time (using the polar star, at that). Then I switched to the blade, and everything was better.

I disagree, Monster X was very easy, it tooked me 1-3 times to kill him
I needed more times at the 3 Bosses on Balcony and on Ballos.

 

The hardest boss by far for me wasn't ballos; It wasn't even Monster X...
Fighting that guy at the beginning of the game was so hard
I remember the toroko guy would weaken me in the suprize attack and then .... He shows up, no matter how far I ran he would jump and land on me
First balrog battle.... arg..h....

 

its funny if you say no (you did not want to battle him) then he says
"Huh. All right, see ya then."

 

Core 1 is the hardest for me, mainly because having to deal with the water, him pushing me back, and his projectiles all at the same time is infuriating (And I'm not a great shot with the rocket).

 

None of the bosses are really that hard for me... But even then, a quick edit to any boss would make it quite challenging. For example, has anyone tried to fight ballos while it rains 10-damage bolders? ...I'm gonna try that out right now >:3

Lol my idea was it to have a boss fight when 10-damage blocks come on miza I did it already it works. (By teh way I think I had already posted an screenie of that.)
Anyhow you will run in problems since that is a special entity who only spawns blocks on special coordinates, good luck!

My idea for doing a harder ballos fight was covering the floor with instant death spikes, covering those with those little green guys from the plantation, putting some blocks only solid for monsters above that, and covering those with the rhinos from egg corridor. For flight (since without that it would be a little too difficult), you get the machine gun instead of the booster.

 

The instant death spikes would've been enough. Also, if the invulnerability that comes right after being hit works for death spikes, the death spikes become useless with the elephants.

The entire point of the rhinos and green guys is that they're the enemy types that you can walk on top of without taking damage.

What can be easily hacked.

 

The hardest one in the game for me was the Island Core...It would ALWAYS fill the room with water, push me up against the back wall, and fire it's three huge spheres of death at me, leveling my favorite weapons down and slaughtering my health at the same time. Not fun.

The same thing happens to me, with the exception that I can avoid the 3 spheres... But I fall to the bottom and die drowned. >_<
Is a good boss anyways =D
