RQ: Crimzon Clover boss 3 third form

Post by Obscura »

Does anyone have any good tips on how to dodge the attacks of the last form of the stage 3 boss in Crimzon Clover? His first form isn't a real problem, and I've got a break/bomb pattern that gets me past the spinning-laser thing in one piece, but I have no idea on his third form; I frequently seem to get walled, and I don't see any real pattern to his bullet spam.

I believe you can safely bomb that even if you're playing for score. When you bomb, go up to the screen top and point-blank the boss a bit, which will help you to charge another bomb.

Also Icarus did a demo of this boss which might help.

This demo is a little better for both scoring and survival.

The pattern itself is a spiral-type attack, but since the boss moves all over the place, it sprays everywhere. The best thing you can do is to try and take it down as quickly as possible, being in Double Break Mode helps.
