PrinceWatercress plays Dinosaurs For Hire - Part 2 of 5


Hey, it's that boss again! And this time, we have to put in more effort to destroy it without getting destroyed ourselves.


Cavern


For this level, you're going up the whole time. Be careful not to fall down too far, as the game will automatically kill you if you fall for long enough even if there is a platform directly below you and you're able to land on it. Fall damage is a thing in this game if you fall from too high a height, but if you fall way too far down, the game just kills you instantly.

Enemies include worms that pop up from the sides and can't be killed, bullet-spitting spiders on web, weird looking plant things with teeth that also spit bullets and brown fuzzy creatures that will teleport onto the screen and leap at you.

There are a few platforms that will fall down when you land on them, and one of them even has a crystal with health-replenishing food above it. If you still need foot when you reach the top, go all the way to the left and shoot the crystal there. You'll find food.

Beneath Hoover Dam


When you start, immediately go to the left after you slide down so the turbine doesn't kill you. Shoot down the turbine to destroy it, as it will be instant death if you move into it. Make your way to the left. The steam will open up a path leading down. Head right, them make your way up. You'll be dealing with electric enemies that fly around and throw projectiles at you to zap you, and they will keep appearing, so keep shooting where they appear so you don't get hit.

Go right and down the slide, then head left away from the turbine when you approach it and shoot the turbine down. All the turbines contain power-ups, but this one contains food. From here, jump up the nearby platforms towards the top of the maze as you head left. There is an intersection in the pipes where you need to hold Down and press C to drop down. Do that, then head right.

Drop down and to the right with the help of the platforms towards the Tesla machine. Shoot down the nearby crystal for food, but don't get electrocuted here so you don't get hurt. From here, go down to the platform to the right, then head left. Go through the wall, and you'll end up at the slope below. Grab the invincibility shield and hurry right to get past the steam, then jump to the right and then to the platform with the ladder and the crystal (which contains more food).

Climb up the ladder and keep going up. The ladder at the far-right leads to a weapon power-up, while the pipes to the left lead towards the exit. Past the pipes is a long platform leading to the exit. Just shoot down the turrets and jump the gap after the electricity has passed, then climb up the ladder to get out of here.

You'll then face the boss that you met at the beginning of the game again, and this time, he is harder. Stay on the platform and shoot down the arm while avoiding the fire that the monster spits out. When the arm is gone, the right edge of the platform will fall into the water. Ride the platform to the right and get as many free shots on the other arm as you can before you jump to the other platform. Once you take out the other arm, you'll need to take out the head while avoiding the fire that it breathes and the fire that gathers on the platform when it touches ground there. You'll want to take as little damage as possible so that the next level isn't extremely painful to get through. Once you do enough damage to the head, the boss is down and it is on to the next level.
