I reccomend going to the beastmaster and practicing against the enemies you have the hardest time with. I had trouble with the Blademasters and Lichs until their pattern sunk in. Now that the DLC has come out there's a whole nother zone to memorize. (except i'm a noturna main so zone five is suuuper easy to me)

Good luck!

[@baconprisons]

@Mallory Oakes oh yea ill admit you will die hella lot but what im stating is usually in most rogue-likes you are weak as sh*t but in crypt of the necrodancer you are the strongest one of the board usually only dying after several mistakes (which yea you'll make) or getting overwhelmed its a weird taste for the genre but I wouldn't call it a bad taste

[@cristobalosorio6694]

and the earthquake scroll

[@derpqueen7804]

so... how does this game work?

[@megaman161]

It's a procedurally generated dungeon crawler. You use the arrow keys for every action, with single button presses moving you, and combinations of 2 using various tools and items (as seen when he throws the Dagger). You have to move and perform actions to the beat of the music, indicated my the Heartbeat at the bottom of the screen (and listening to the music, of course) Normally a regular run consists of a set of 3 floors followed by a boss fight, but this is Boss Rush, so no normal floors.

[@derpqueen7804]

megaman161 so really intense and requires lot of reaction time?

[@megaman161]

It can be really intense, but once you understand how each enemy moves and reacts to you it's more of a chess game, so to speak. Learning when to move, when it's safe to attack and such requires some practice. Especially with some characters like Aria (the last one shown) who will die if you miss a movement beat, get hit, or take any other weapon except the Dagger. Then there's Coda, who if I recall correctly the developers said at some point was impossible to beat the game with. I might be remembering that wrong or it might be hyperbole. He's extremely, extremely difficult though.

[@AndrewSmith-nj8zh]

megaman161 I wouldn't call it hyperbole. The steam achievement for beating an all zones coda run has a completion percentage that shows that only about 5 people have earned it.

[@Kemuja]

megaman161, what happens, if you don't time your beats of the music, what happens? And what happens, if you don't do anything?

[@rundyftw]

You have excellent rhythm

[@PiggyGamingTH]

you don't miss a beat, do you?

[@Thundawich]

Why do you throw the dagger so much vs coral riff?

[@Gellot]

That's the safe way to kill it. You'll get hit every time if you try to attack it with dagger at close range.

[@ahdascrazy3102]

Plus, the only negative effect is it extends the fight. Even if you keep moving straight through water, you can still outrun him.

[@Thundawich]

I was under the impression that you could move stand with 3 spaces between the two of you, both move towards each other at the same time, you then have a move and then attack before he gets his attack off... ahh well, maybe im just misremembering the boss.

[@ahdascrazy3102]

You're not wrong. That IS easily doable without taking damage. This is just safer.

[@Darthgipsyjoe]

Coral Riff only damages you if you let it step next to you. However if you wait until it moves and there's 1 tile distance between you, stepping next to it in the 1st beat and hitting it in the 2nd will damage it and you'll remain unharmed. It's a quick and easy method. Too bad the boss attack pattern is so badly telegraphed, if a shockwave was drawn around it, it would be more obvious how to fight him.

[@rikgamer1]

Dude... You have to brains right? Like a super dual core BECAUSE HOLY FUCK HOW!?

[@gummybear8679]

BREATHING FIRE!!

[@Kemuja]

2:11 (or 2:12) can you melee attack the boss, instead of throwing the knife?

[@DialatedFiltration]

You can, but he wasn't trying to lose his multiplier... And he would of had to of skipped a beat to wait for the boss to get to him... (skipping a beat, taking damage, and hitting a wall that you cant break down will cause you to lose a multiplier).

[@Kemuja]

is it worth it for multi bonus?

[@DialatedFiltration]

Sometimes holding the beat gives bonuses on items, particularly obsidian items... And some characters die if you miss one beat, so it is good if you train yourself to stick it right.

[@Kemuja]

chad morris ok

[@DialatedFiltration]

True, but it takes more time/moves setting up to melee than to line up and throw the dagger. He resets on hit either way, so retrieval gives him something to do rather than prancing around waiting for boss man to get back from his seascape vacation.

[@battleon81]

Huh...Apparently THROWING the dagger makes the golden lute fight look way easier. Wish I had thought of that earlier....

[@budling5921]

Its easy to forget about the dagger being throwable as Aria, seeing it is your only weapon. It can be a great option. For the Life boss, you can also synchronize to the boss with the bounce lads, or by attacking it's body, doing zero damage, but putting you in position to attack. (I used bounce pads, I'm not a legend)

[@Synikoss]

[@HECKproductions]

so whats the deal?? do you have to move every beat or else you explode?? or does it move you every beat and you have to make sure its the right way?? how does this work

[@CharroArgentino]

Enemies have patterns based on the stage beat (how they move and when they attack), so to avoid getting hit you have to move on rhythm and calculate your distance from them. In regular stages you also get a coin multiplier if you keep the beat, and that makes it easier to buy stuff in the stores that you can find.

[@OatmealTheCrazy]

You can technically just stand still with all but two characters, it'll just reset your coin multiplier (which doesn't even matter in the middle of a boss fight) but it'd kinda be like skipping a turn in any other game

[@pichu081]

Oh, of course! It was this simple!

[@a-zadri]
