Olmec stage 2 needs design choices that encourage players to fight him, not hide from him.įrom all i've seen so far, the Olmec fight is definitely the worst part of the game. It would make my waiting a lot more tolerable though haha. It would be a lot better than its current state though lol.Īlso making the floor thinner doesn't make me want to engage with the boss more.

So some other tweaking would probably need to be done. This would make the game considerably harder. This would be like an actual boss fight, instead of a mid game intermission. To get him through quickly you would have to be actively attacking the thrusters constantly whilst also dodging bombs. The new strategy would either be waste a ton of bombs to get him though the floor quickly, or actually fight the boss. This would be extremely tight and if I'm being honest I'm being generous with the time. If I were to wait it out like usual I would probably only have around 20 - 30 seconds to grab the Ankh and get to an exit. The first phase of the boss fight usually takes me around 30 - 40 seconds. Sure I could still attempt the same strategy. Make him ground pound through the rest of the floor into the lava (sometimes he goes straight into the lava) Whip his thrusters when he is over a destroyed ground send him to the third floor.ģ. Wait on his head for 1-2 minutes (where you wait is irrelevant just as long as its safe)Ģ. Right now my strategy every time (has beaten Olmec around 15 times in a row now).ġ. I wait out Olmec because he'll blow open a path for me, without me being in danger.

I don't know about other people but I don't wait out Olmec due to the thickness of the floor.
