RQ : DARIUSBURST EX :Thousand Knives ?

Post by DarthNuno »

Damn, can't really understand how to quickly kill 'Thousand Knives' :evil:
Should I focus on its knives (guns) first (when they are moving and shooting me), or do I have to keep shooting the body of that fish again & again!? I'm not sure how effectives are my shoots because each time I'm facing that boss, it takes ages to kill him :?
Any good strategy for defeat him ?

With burst ships, a very useful strategy is to simply get behind him and use your burst unit to eat bullets while you just attack him from behind. He's not smart enough to do anything about it, and you'll generally eat enough bullets to keep the burst unit out most of the fight.

With the other ships, generally I take out most of the turrets, then head to the back to do the same trick. Once most of the turrets are gone, he stops firing behind entirely.

Sounds good, thx.
But when behind him, do I have to focus my fire on him, or do I have to destroys all his canons/knives first ?
In a general way, the only negative thing IMO in Dariusburst game, is that there's no boss life level bar, so you never know if you spend time to shoot the right place :?

He always takes damage, but you should destroy a few of the cannons to make things a bit easier. The cannons from his behind do get sent out, so if you destroy those, the back becomes a big huge safe-spot for the most part.
