RQ: Batrider boss (Blackheart mk2)

Post by DMC »

I think this fellow deserves his own thread.

I have a big problem with his web (the first form). It seems like it does not work exactly like in battle garegga? I cannot figure out if he is about to turn left or right. Anyone know how he works?

Btw, if anyone has trouble with the attack where he shoots a wide spread of tiny yellow bullets. I think it is easiest to try to keep being below either of his wings, rather than staying in the middle.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

For the normal sweeping attack, it goes in the direction towards its current position. So if you are to the left of Black Heart, it will sweep right (towards it). Usually this means you pass the center while dodging so it becomes back and forth, but not necessarily. If you have trouble telling which direction, maybe that is because you are positioned directly under BH so it's hard to tell.

The back and forth sweep attack will always go right, then left, etc.
