Dash away when he unleashes his other attacks too, except in the third phase. Dash away, then towards the boss, leading this attack away to buy you time. Don’t stay still for long, as the boss’s main attack will catch up to you quick. The shotgun will also make this fight easier, but that requires having the East done, so it might not work for everyone.
Repeat until fights ends and collect your free shotgun Don’t Stop! (North Boss)įor this boss, multi-dash is heavily recommended. He can’t hit you with his slam, so don’t bother dodging it. If he throws a pot at you, step out of the way and continue. Aim horizontally, as this will prevent you from moving downwards while attacking, and spam your pistol/sword combo to your hearts content.

By bum-rushing a boss, spamming attack after attack, you can essentially lock the boss in slow motion, as they are stuck in freeze frames, while you aren’t. When you hit an enemy, the game will freeze for a few frames, so that you don’t get punished for attacking too early. It is most useful on the shotgun (oh btw, use pistol and shotgun for this whole game) as it allows you to unload all 3 (or 5) shots within a second.Īnd finally, the third conept is freeze-frames. What this does is swap out your gun, then swap it back in, cancelling the reload time. This is done by double-tapping the swap gun button (mine is R, as in reload in most games). The second technique is reload cancelling. This move is easy to pull off and once mastered, will basically double your damage output for the whole game. This is a form of animation cancelling and will allow you to fire off 2 damage in the space of one sword swing, or turn your 3-hit sword combo into a 6-hit combo. To achieve this, equip your pistol, right-click to fire a shot and immediately left-click to swing your sword and i mean IMMEDIATELY. The first of these is the pistol/sword combo.
