RQ: Darius Gaiden boss strategies!

Post by CSBrokaw »

OK, short intro: I'm playing Darius Gaiden on Taito Legends 2 for PS2, so this means NO AUTOFIRE :(

I have the bosses from A, B, C, D, and partially E down. I know how to beat them all without too much effort, without bombing, and most importantly without dying!

BUT, but but but, when I get to H (Neon Light Illusion), I just cannot find a consistent pattern :(
Most importantly, after he takes off his 'shell'. There are these two yellow ray things that seem to track you down, and I just can't dodge those. Is there some pattern they follow or way they go depending on how they start? This is preventing me from no-bombing or not dying on this stage.

Help wanted soon! Any links or anything would help.

Stay on the left hand side on the screen and when they get close to the front of your ship, do a tight counterclockwise circle starting from the 12 o'clock position. Repeat this for each set of yellow homing missles. Try not to stray too far from the vertical center of the screen, so you can set up to dodge the blue lasers that come afterwards.
