MM11 Fortress situation: can it be done piecemeal

yes

I imagine the fight in the other version of this game would be much harder than this one, although while part of me is glad I didn't have to deal with it, another part of me is morbidly curious about just how hard it is. Surprisingly not that hard. Charged Lightning Web undoes a lot of the debris f...

shrine of the toasted armadillo -World 7- https://i.imgur.com/7GGtR61.png *Note 1: Rainy Turtloid has two gems that must be destroyed before he can take damage. I do not know what their health amount is in X6, but in here it takes 19 lemons . There are also some oddities with this. Guard Shell: Due ...

I think I ended up using flares to beat the second half of Baphomet, since the ring apparently doubles(?) subweapon damage? It does only increase them from 1 to 2 so using the axe (5 damage) is much faster with the melee attack speed item.

no context

stuff Don't worry man, it's really rough, and this is why I refuse to do this game on hard mode. Every clear i've watched of 6-3 (v2) on Hard has to use a glitch where they get Fake Zero stuck on the right wall while they camp at the top of the screen and drop Frost Towers on him. Even then, you ba...

energy apple cider vinegar -World 6- https://i.imgur.com/vHAZ9ot.png *Note 1: Same thing as before, but it now works the opposite way where hitting with the blade part is better since it does normal damage with Z-Saber damage properties. raocow experienced this trying to hit Wolfang and not doing we...

Including both 5-3's this time! -World 5- https://i.imgur.com/pLY3iRT.png *Note 1: Magma Blade actually has 3 damage values. The first one is for hitting the enemy with the Z-Saber part of the animation. As you can see, it is equal or worse across the board to hitting them with the flames, which is ...

raocow's decided to soldier through volume 1, so the context for just the new stages are going up. For the record, the weapon choices are exactly the same from both volumes - it seems that they're selected with all 4 pairs across both volumes for that world in mind. Volume 1: Worlds 1-4 https://i.im...

When I talk with most of my friends who know about X5 they will literally have no idea what the hell I am talking about if I say Tidal Whale or Spiral Pegasus because they grew up with the good ol psx version

Being able to press buttons and watch bright lights happen is a simple, and timeless concept that Mighty No.9 failed to grasp in every way. The fact that this distorted travesty ass bootleg unbalanced side mode can do it better is a testament to how bad it was as a kickstarter. -World 2- https://i.i...

Here's the chart for World 1 Vol 2: -World 1- https://i.imgur.com/DESbELB.png *Note 1: Guard Shell is difficult to attack with. It has to block a specific projectile with seemingly no standard definition, and therefore wildly differs per battle. It will attempt to counterattack with a projectile per...

raocow actually didn't do 3-1 and 3-2 much differently than you'd do them on Normal, but it just took half as long. He also took the weapon set I used when I finally beat this level - the Soul Body is invaluable against High Max. It is the only weapon that goes through his shields without destroying...

X Challenge as a whole just feels like wasted potential. Just think if, instead of both bosses just doing whatever they feel like, they actually coordinated to do sort of Pandora/Prometheus-style combination attacks. Like Frost Walrus planting ice spikes all over the ground while Chill Penguin does...

That aside, I thought of more I wanted to say about this mode since yesterday. I've seen people calling the bosses in this mode damage sponges, but I actually kind of like the amount of health they have. Some bosses, like Commander Yammark, had too little health in their original games to do much a...

WONDER OF THE WONDER

glances into the episode You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference. https://i.imgur.com/m6b1At7.g...

X3 Boss Remix is also amazing.

Final Boss Theme (and both vocal versions) also.

All the bosses have a ton of extra weaknesses from other games' weapons, right? Could that have helped at all? ...Sort of? It really depends on the fight. To give some examples: Storm Eagle takes "secondary weakness" damage from Aiming Laser. Given how it also allows you to hit him when h...

I also started on normal then quickly realized it's way more fun on easy mode. The one big thing about Easy Mode is that the bosses are so weak that it's fun to score run it... if you can deal with taking like a minute per restart due to all the animations. To give an idea of how big the difference...

Haha wow, I just tried this mode out of curiosity back when this game came out, died not too far in in the first round of fights and never touched it again. I figured it was kinda tricky but I didn't realize it'd be a total nightmare like this. You can tell this was rushed. I am disappointed becaus...

I think the best would be to go easy then, and then when I do volume 1 clean-up those would be single fights done in normal? that would make sense to me. Just in case, even if you don't commit to this choice, I have a better idea. I'll just do Vol.1 on Easy and give you that file. You do NOT want t...

I'm also going to put this out here as well because it's important: If the switch to Easy is ultimately decided upon, it should be done sooner than later. Progress does NOT save between difficulty modes, so raocow would be starting all the way back from 1-1. Neither of my save files have the game cl...

i can only assume hard is "bosses take one hour to kill. you die in one hit" You take double damage, they take half. So... yes. I cheated through Hard to see the super secret final boss only available there, and it decidedly wasn't worth it. The secret True Last Boss took me like 9 full l...
