I dunno why this didn't come up when rao was fighting Arikan, but I just got up to him (finally decided to give the game a shot,) and the first thing I thought to do was jump to a higher platform and pester him with Boki Beam. This actually ticks him off and, if continued, starts the fight without the sword. It looks totally doable, too. My first try I got about a quarter of his health off with beams and kicks, and I'm pretty terrible at Copy Kitty. =P

Is there any reward for beating him this way? I'd be really interested to see it done, if I don't do it myself.

My hunch would be that nothing happens if you do, but I haven't tried it.

raocow, I don't know if you've noticed, but those satellite guys that shoot a laser at you? They're always linked to another enemy. They fire on you if you shoot the enemy they're linked to, and they die if it dies. That's why that one in the wall suddenly blew up; I'm pretty sure it doesn't die if it's still cooling down after firing its laser.

And we've got a boss tomorrow! Once again, I don't think it's very likely you'll get the low damage run in a timely manner. If you luck out and get it on your first successful run like you did with Arikan, great, but that doesn't strike me as too likely. I found this to be one of the toughest low-damage runs in the game. It's doable, mostly it's a matter of paying attention to what attacks are coming, but it's easy to slip up.

Shouldn't they change what constructs they're linked to and only self-destruct when there are no more constructs left? Or maybe that's the hard mode version, i don't know...

Nope, that doesn't happen in hard mode. They don't really have an "upgraded" version, I think.

@ sedron: In older versions at least, there isn't anything special for beating Arikan with only the Boki Beam. If I recall right, Azure said that sort of challenge wouldn't be fun to play and thus no special dialogue is prepared for winning in it. Though maybe a later update did end up adding it in - need to try again to be sure.

For what it's worth, Arikan has different dialogue depending on how you hit him before the fight proper starts.

If you restart so you can skip the intro dialogue and start moving before the sword drops, you can go behind Arikan and kick him, which will result in him asking if you want to fight with your "own two feet," instead of hands. If you jump on him, he will adamantly declare that he is not a trampoline.

No, we're not rewarding the player for winning with Boki Beam, and we never will. It's not supposed to be a challenge, it's supposed to be a punishment. :P

My first battle with him I accidentally started the kick fight. But I didn't rush I just jumped over the sword.

I'm not sure you understand the mentality of your standard player... :P



...I got about 2/3ds of the way through first try as weaponless Boki, but that powerup sequence is pretty nasty when you don't also get it.

Haha, I believe as well if you fight him with Boki Beam or kicks and you die, he says something funny. Probably the closest thing to a reward you're gonna get.

Best result is if you bring a Virs into the fight.

That is funny.

Marathon mode lets you bring stuff over. Though my mechs tend to not last that long, so I use cheats solely so I can see the dialogue.

Marathon mode as Savant is hilarious, because I've yet to see a limit on how many hacked machines you can have following you at once.

Aw man, Rao never died to the boss once in the video, so it didn't show any of the new dialogue that was added since the last time he fought it. :<

consider it a reason for people to play this game on their own instead of just watching an LP - Raibys wrote up 16 different on-death quotes for this boss. Although, when raocow gets around to hard mode though (next version), you'll probably get to see a few

Wow, Savant's Bounce really brought his health down fast, there wasn't much time between the first and second orbital lasers. (Which are triggered by him losing health, in case anyone didn't notice.) Nice job!

And yeah, the Hard Mode version is going to have a lot of death quotes. I found that to be by far the hardest battle in the game.

What's this about doing Hard Mode next version? Is raocow going to wait, or do you expect to have the next version out that soon?

What, no cookie today? But 25 is plenty of damage to soak.

Kind of both? There will be a pause between raocow finishing and the next version being ready, but it won't be too long, I hope. Since next version will completely revamp hard mode to be much better, it would be kind of pointless to do the first few worlds in the current hard mode before the switch. It's nice to get a little break to build up anticipation, anyway

I'll be waiting for that so that I can play along with raocow's LP. I'm not looking forward to fighting this guy on hard mode though.

The guy's not all that hard in hard mode. You have much more space to dodge his stuff.
