KWarp Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Protip: Shake the controller with one hand. Use time break often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drack Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 It's not that hard. Here are some tips. -At the very beginning, shake right after you get a ring, let him hit you, so you can get the other rings rather than be vulnerable right at the start. -Whenever you're not dodging attacks, either shake, or jump. Jumping makes you go through the stage quicker, which makes you get the rich rings faster. Know the pattern of rich rings; the first one is on the left. -Memorize the pattern of his blades. To avoid his first few volleys, go center, center, right, right, right. You can shake here. For his later ones, if he's really pausing, he's going to do the cover the screen one. go a tiny bit right of center and hold steady to avoid this one. -You know how to hit him right? Speed break just before he throws the big ass ball. -I've beaten this guy without getting hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triad Orion Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 It's frustrating, but yes. Shaking the remote with one hand does improve your Soul Gauge charge time. Make sure to move left and right to avoid the rapid-fire energy blasts and avoid the basic sword swings just by normal movement. If the energy blasts give you trouble, Time Break. If it looks like you can't avoid the sword slashes, you can Speed Break to avoid it. Charge between attacks and during the sword swings once you learn how to dodge them. Make sure you charge up your gauge as quickly as possible. After you stun him with his blast, use a Jump Dash to get in closer quicker, then go to town on him as normal. If you hit him hard enough, you can actually defeat him on two attacks on his heart. Also, if the boss is throwing a huge blast of energy at you and you see a Super Ring fly past, don't bother. Ignore the rings and Speed Break into the attack anyway. Once you get the hang of his attacks, he's not as tough as you might think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureejii Lea Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I don't know how (especially since Sonic himself comments on it), but a lot of people seem to miss that the paths of light show where the boss will slash, making it easy to move out of the way if you react quick enough.

electric concerto Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Tnx for the advise, but try as I might, DS is hard for me... I can get through all the levels easy, even the first fight with Erazor, but this one's tough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
