Sitting pretty, possible spoiler?

I'm trying like anything to beat Octopuss Prime, pumping shots into him like crazy, and I've found a great pearch just  infront of him where none of his shots get me..... But I'm getting no where also...... Over an hour pumping shots with the odd rest with the menu winow open so I don't get RI, but like I said no dice

Spoiler:
on the brain coral just in front of the entrance to the cavern
So I shot out deciding to end it all or get him good, and would you believe it the red ball popped out he was turning scarlet and Naija was suddenly in her first form and wouldn't turn back into the Energy form for a good 60 seconds enough to kill me..... What the heck is happening here?

I swear that I didn't hit both buttons on my mouse 

It wasn't all bad though because I finally made it to the top of the Sun Temple and I now have the final memory But I want to beat this monster!

It seems that I might of touhed the X key from what I read in another thread but I still don't understand why I couldn't use the hot key to turn her back again for some time after?

So, could you transform by singing? Could numslock have been on?


SPOILER AHOY









Hit Prime in the tentacles, where he is vulnerable.

[Glamador]

Actually that's not right.  You're thinking of Nautilus Prime, where the tentacles are vulnerable.  If you want to beat OCTOPUS Prime, you need to get close enough for it to open it's beak and shoot the tiny pink tongue.  It's a hard boss (one which propogates Naija's pattern of matrocide and kidnapping) but the good news is, the pet isn't essential, although I hear a lot of people like it just because it's cute.

P.S.  After you shoot a couple times, make sure to dodge b/c it will grab and throttle you.

So, could you transform by singing? Could numslock have been on?

I could of but you know how it is in a frantic battle, and I did realise that I could of hit esc also to give me the breather that I needed but in the end I decided to let her die and restart again with a full larder rather than having to spend hours restocking it.

Glamador is correct it's Octopus Prime that I'm fighting, I beat Nautalus a while back and he was dead easy once you found the right spot to go and a boulder to shelter behind lol

[silverflagon]

I'm being trashed by this boss, would dual form make beating him any easier? I really would like to complete this game properly but after my fourth attempt I am thinking about missing him out for a while? Just a passing thought, is it possible to drag a small boulder into the cave for defence, perhaps I might try it next time but I don't hold out any hope as I don't seem to be able to drag other things trough the shadow?

[Glamador]

Afraid not.  I could make a video of how to fight him if you want.

Here, I've uploaded it to youtube.  I think I'll make this part of a new series.

Have you tried to stay close in front of him, eat something spicey and shoot without a break on/in his beak? Because I killed him this way without getting disturbed by smaller octopi and he grabbed me max. one time. Don't need more than 2 tough cakes I think...

[Glamador]

ACK!  I made a typo!  How embarrasing.  It's supposed to say "speed things up a little" but it says "litte"...oh I'm so ashamed.

[silverflagon]

Thank you Glamador that was very helpful and it also showed me that I was onto the right moves but the trouble is that I am not very dextrous anymore so I will just keep going until I perhaps beat him by chance one day lol That speeded up bit made me laugh, a touch of the Keystone cops perhaps? lol Spelling mistake is forgiven, I'm in not position to critique it

Xiagan I'll also try it your way thank you for the tip

One quiery, what's this very large bird that I've found in The Veil and is it of any use at all? Only I went and killed it and then realised that perhaps I shouldn't of so I didn't botther save my progress so I could go back and try something different next time I make it up there lol

[silverflagon]

I love all this searching for hidden secrets you won't catch me rushing the game

Octopus Prime... Op..timus... Prime? D:

Octopus Prime... Op..timus... Prime? D:

lol



That was my attempt to paint a 'cute! ' Optimus prime for someone not that good really but it wasn't a sane request either lol

Man, some things in this game would have been a lot easier if I had known there were shortcut keys for the different forms. >_>  Oh well, maybe if I play again.

And why not? I certainly will, once I've beaten the last boss that is I've just let the next to last form kill me because I was making no impact on him at all and my fingers were beginning to go numb
