PrinceWatercress plays Gex (PS1) - Part 15 of 15


Now that we've beaten Planet X, let's get the real ending this time!

When the battle begins, Rez sends a fly into a teal-colored hive. You have to get to this hive, tail whip it to break it, and eat the fly inside, then use it against Rez. It works much like a firefly power-up, but you only get one shot, and if you miss, you have to get another one. If it hits, you'll do damage to Rez.

When Rez throws the projectile, it will sail over your head on the way to the upper-left corner. Wait for it to come down to your level before jumping to avoid it, much less at all.

When the television screens come down, climb the wall to them, then jump from one to another to the other side before they explode. Take care not to fall down to where Rez is moving back and forth. Stick to the wall, tail whip the hive, eat the fly, then spit it at Rez as he flies to the upper-right. Stay on the lower-right corner as Rez flies to the upper right and shoots his first salvo of projectiles. When they all disappear, hold the run button and climb up to avoid the second salvo. You'll then have to jump from one television screen to another, hit the hive, eat the fly and spit the projectile at Rez again.

When Rez is glowing, he is invincible and you won't be able to hit him.

If Rez turns into a fast-spinning tornado, run under him when he is in the air to get away. He bounces four times before the attack stops.

When Rez sends the projectiles down from the top of the room at the left side of the boss chamber, go all the way to the left to avoid the first set of projectiles, then jump over Rez on the way to the right and use the console as a safe spot before jumping over Rez again. From here, the projectiles that rain down alternate between columns, and there will be safe spots between the spots where the projectiles land.

There is another variant of the raining projectiles where the projectiles track your current position. Just stay on the move and they won't hit you.

If Rez shoots laser beams out of his eyes, he's near-death. Just get on the wall to avoid them completely.

After four hits, Rez goes down. This time around, because we've completed Planet X, we get the secret ending, which contains a ton of concept art and stuff that was conjured up when the game was being made.

Also, if you move around after beating Rez, the game might freeze and you'll never get the ending. You'll be forced to reset and beat this boss battle all over again just to get it.
