PrinceWatercress plays Dynamite Duke (GEN/MD) - Mission 6 and 7


The last two missions of the game are pretty short. We get to destroy a laboratory generator, then we get to face a boss with THREE phases! Once we beat the final boss, we get to destroy the enemy forces once and for all and the game ends.

Mission 6: Laboratory

The kunai throwers return after being absent for two missions, so be ready to shoot them down. Also, shoot down all the objects you can, as you're going to need the power-ups. There will also be a fair few enemies at the top of the screen; take them down if you can...and watch out for that floor turret.

To destroy the generator at the center of the boss screen, you'll need to use a bomb to destroy the shield (or you can shoot the gray flashing thing at the bottom). You'll also need to shoot down the masked men in the blue coats to get rid of them for a couple of seconds. Thankfully, they will always drop power-ups, and you can use them to get bullets and the occasional full-auto (although it won't surprise me if they drop Life Ups as well). From there, keep the blue guys down when they show up and keep shooting at the generator. This is probably the easiest boss in the game if you know what to do.

Mission 7: Atomic Reactor

It's one last boss battle! I do horrible in the Let's Play, but I do better in the longplay. Here we go...

The first phase is a guy with a machine gun. Avoid his bullets as he quickly runs back and forth, and keep shooting him in the legs. If he stops moving, keep shooting him in the legs to minimize the boss' movement and bullets. He will fall over the barrier, but he will turn into an alien and come back.

Welcome to the second phase, which can be the end of the game for you if you don't know how to do things. Always duck while moving, and keep moving back and forth around him. He will do two strikes when he is across from you. The first is a punch that you can duck. Hit him if you can with the A button. After he swings that punch, get away from him immediately, otherwise he will hit you with a kick you cannot duck under. If he looks to the side, go back to him and start punching; otherwise, he will hit you with that stretching arm and it will hurt. It will take trial and error to get him to look to the side and go for that extending punch.

After you beat the second phase, you'll get a huge alien for the third phase. Avoid the bullets while shooting the boss. When the boss' eye opens, it will shoot fire at you. When you see the fire, duck and move in one direction. When you see the flames follow you, immediately move in the other direction and keep going to avoid being hit. The eye will close, and you'll have your chance to shoot the boss some more until the eye opens again. Repeat until dead, and stay away from the extreme ends of the room to ensure you can dodge the flames. 

Once you beat the third phase, the game is over! Enjoy the ending!
