Bubble cave help and questions

[inkblob]

great video Glam    think it's important to note a few things that help terribly in this video for beating the crab boss.

• jelly costume. if you don't have it, go get it. this is the single most valuable costume in the game and you should go get it as soon as you can
• healing tadpoles. those lil guys are amazing, between jelly costume and those you will regen very quick
• keyboard shortcuts. didn't see any songs being sung to cast spells and that can make a zoo of difference. I didn't know that bind was one of the shortcuts!
• kamikazee carbomb. you are the weapon, don't worry about taking a few hits here, drive that bomb into crab's mouth if you have to

I havn't retried this boss yet, and will keep in mind the keyboard shortcuts this time round for him. I try to avoid using them wherever possible but some cases it's warranted, especially if you've tried a few times and it's just not working.

Thanks for the video. I tried to do that before but I couldn't go as fast  as you.Is not that easy for me, and yes I'm on a laptop and using a touchpad, which makes it pretty difficult to control Naija specially when jumping, in fact I was trying before to play the Bubble cave again and I just gave up because all I've been doing in almost 30 min. is trying to reach the upper bubble, always falling or jumping incontrolably and I got really frustrated.  I've used WASD too, but only when there's a little less "tension" and I can take my time, besides I can't find a way to jump with it. And I noticed in the video that after transforming to plant you just shot rapidly at him, but my problem was that I have to wait like 5-6 seconds for it to charge and then shot. Oh and what is the binding shortcut? I didn't find this one or maybe is not working.

You use a touchpad? Than I appreciate how far you got...that must be aweful...
Binding shortcut is 9 or 0, I always mix it up with shield...

Shield is 9, bind is 0.  Which is useful b/c it's always nice to shield up before running into the bomb.  It stops some of the blast from reaching you.  As for waiting 5-6 seconds that's just plain not true.  As you can see in my 30 second vid  I charged up in about 2 seconds.  It really doesn't take that long.  But if you're really having trouble I'd be glad to beat the boss and just send you back your save files.  I can understand how hard it is to use the touchpad.

P.S.  Use the spacebar to Jump/Dash when using WASD.  Since you're using the keyboard already, you should try doing the boss with WASD and the strategy in my video.  It's not as bad as you think.

Well it does takes that long in my game, I counted the seconds, at least with the cactus thing just exactly as when in energy form, although I use the ctrl. key to shoot because I'm very uncomfortable with  right clicking with the touchpad . And I guess that the binding shortcut didn't work because maybe I wasn't close enough to the objects.
I use the spacebar to dash but I couldn't make her jump,  maybe I didn't tried enough.
I'll do the whole thing again with touchpad and if I fail with the keyboard only and if I'm really tired and I can't make it at least I know I can skip it (even though I'd really like the health egg).
Thank you all for your help.

Biggest tip I could give you is USE A MOUSE.

This game runs pretty much with the mouse and the keyboard ain't as handy.

Playing with a touch-pad must be a real handicap though. Good job on getting so far.

[Glamador]

I'm actually amazed you beat the Sun Temple Worm with that thing.  That's a boss that's heavy on precision dodging.  Did you raid your fridge to conquer him?

[Jaqvaar]

Anyone tried Nature form? I just finished that boss. Took just a couple of minutes

[Alphasoldier]

I went from Mithalas to Sun Temple, I didn't have Nature.
