I WANNA BE THE GUY: THE MOVIE: THE GAME: THE PICTURE BOOK: THE GLITCHIEST BOSS FIGHT!
Hi again peeps.
This has lain a little idle lately because of work issues, so to make up for, it DOUBLE SIZED UPDATE!
Last update we were facing off Kraidgief. As you can see, he's a little more physically developed than the Kid, so brute force isn't going to work. We'll have to use our cunning.
Also the fact that we have a gun and he doesn't.
As you can see when he roars here, he has one weakness: HIS TEETH. They're so white and shiny... it's almost a shame to destroy them.
To provide more information about this boss, he's what you'd get if Zangief from Street Fighter and Kraid from Metroid got together and had a baby
Self explainatory really.
In between showing off his lack of fillings, Kraidgief will advance, hoping to get you with his giant hand of murder, then pull back and do one of two highly predictable attacks.
I think he's planning something.
You can actually stay on the middle platform and he'll still miss. He's not so spry.
He's raising his fist!
Standing here lets you dodge, for it is the secret heart of the game, about which the whole world revolves.
Shoot his precious teeth enough and...
What is it with these guys and flying into the sky by spinning?
He flies into the air, breaking the ceiling and leaving a series of platforms. Follow him! Or else you'll die!
This stage of the fight, you have to drive Kraidgief back by shooting him in the head. Eventually it will annoy him enough to show his vulnerable point (shown here as he likes to roar right at the start of the fight). He'll advance otherwise and kill you if you touch his giant, kid killing hands.
Also, spikes are falling from the ceiling.
Oh, don't let him get all the way to the left by the way.
Yeah baby, this is really happening.
It's kind of like King Kong.
What a way to go...
Anyway, if you do hit him enough, before kindly revealing the one part of his body where bullets have any effect, he'll attack you.
Sometimes he runs forwards at you.
Other times he goes for a headbutt. It's a very fast headbutt too... it was quite a pain to catch a picture of.
Or sometimes he'll just settle for breathing Hadokens at you. They
hurt
After this, perhaps a little frustrated by your lack of dying, he reveals his pearly whites as he roars.
You know what to do. (Hint: BULLETS!)
After hitting him enough, not able to take it any more, Kraidgeif charges, somehow this time bashing blocks out of his way.
You know what to do. (Hint: RUN!)
What's he
doing? Make the bad man stop!
I should mention his third stage takes about five times as many injuring shots to kill as the first or second stages. Interestingly, you can often bounce bullets off him so they hit his mouth.
But this isn't the real way to shoot at his mouth. Let's see the real way.
Why yes, he's shooting Blanka at you.
Oh come on, this isn't even the third weirdest thing you've seen.
Climb those Blankas, CLIMB!
SHOOT THE TEETH! THE TEETH!
Kraidgief does not approve.
UNACCEPTABLE!
Time to stop playing around.
By forcing Kraidgief to skip his second stage, we can make him get stuck in the floor and completely unable to hurt us! Also he's at the perfect height for shooting his face off.
NOW DESTROY HIM!
I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like victory.
DEFEAT IS HIS!
And the third unit is ours!
After getting back to the seal, we'll finally embark on the Upper Path, the route to another of I Wanna Be The Guy's giant muscle-men: MIKE TYSON!
