In this episode, we finally take on Bagular. How you're supposed to beat him will shock you.
Area 6: Bagula's Fortress
Stage 6-1
Some of the enemies take one hit and are weaker versions of robot enemies you've seen before. Other ones are new.
This part has five sections, and you'll be traveling downwards towards the boss room as you go between sections. You have nine minutes and 59 seconds, and the time does not increase when you enter a new section, so you'll have to be quick.
The brown blocks that shoot out steam may stun you, but they won't be able to kill you. Either way, they can set you up for your demise if you're at the wrong place at the wrong time. Be careful.
The gears that are spinning around in pairs limit your movement, making it so that you can't walk between them.
Some of the destructible blocks here have skulls on them. If you detonate them with your bombs, they'll create another explosion in their wake. Interestingly, if an enemy can go through soft blocks, they will not pass through these.
The robots with the boxing glove hands take three hits to kill. If there are any destroyable blocks in their path, they will punch them to get rid of them, which slows them down for a little bit.
The purple Louie allows you to jump. The yellow Louie (which isn't in this LP) can kick the destroyable blocks.
Bagular
When you meet Bagular, four red robots surround him like a force field. You'll want to stay on the move and destroy these things, as they can fire lasers in multiple directions. Lay no more than four bombs at a time. Remember that the laser shooters can move into the corners, but Bagular himself cannot.
When you destroy them, Bagular summons his dragon mech. Its head will move and back forth from the stomach. Bomb the head while avoiding both the head and its flames (which will detonate the bombs on contact).
When the mech lifts its hands and opens them, they're about to fire twin lasers. The pattern is straight across, parallel diagonal, straight across, intersecting diagonal. Interestingly, if you stay on the north end of the room, the boss can't hurt you at all.
After damaging the head of the mech enough times, you'll fight Bagular himself. He has a couple of attacks.
When he tosses just one bomb ahead, the bomb will explode when it hits the ground. You will want to be away from the explosion's path as soon as possible when he does this.
Sometimes Bagular will whirl four bombs above him, and they will land in random places. You'll want to be out of the path of their explosions, and the best place to hide would be someplace where none of the bombs can reach you. Sometimes he will be floating above the ground, while other times he won't. You obviously want to hit Bagular while he's on the ground and walking around, and you'll need to time it so that the explosions can reach him, since he changes direction upon seeing your bombs.
There is, strangely, a trick to all this. Have Bagular see you, which will get him to kick a bomb at you. Let the bomb hit you. It will knock you back, but not kill you. Get away from the bomb. Bagular will not be able to get away from his own bomb in time, and the explosion from his own bomb will hurt him.
Once you damage Bagular five more times, you've won!
