RQ: Mushihimesama Maniac, stage 4 boss

Post by Patashu »

Are there any videos out there on the internet of someone doing stage 4 without bombing or missing at all? I want to learn well-developed techniques for dealing with this boss's patterns, but it seems everyone just sucks at this boss hard (I suck even harder of course :oops: ). Am I misguided, should I just bomb the crap out of this boss and move on with my life (is NMNB impossible?), or is there hope for me? Because I find this boss harder than stage 5 pretty much, and that feels really wrong.

The way I see it is that the bombs are expendable during bosses because the chain doesn't matter there. I'd say just move on and deal with bombing him twice or so. You don't play Maniac for NMNB... :oops:

Wow. I watched a video of Arrange, and the stage 4 boss is nerfed SO hard in it. I guess Cave didn't like the idea of it being the hardest boss either! :P
