YOU

[@alvaronoths6345]

hello google

[@yakkuu]

I've tried a few more hours of attempts and have gotten to the microwave 2 more times. I've realized that if you play as the heal kernel you can eat Magnetron when he splits into his smallest form at 6:06. There's a possibility that with enough coordination with another heal kernel, you can eat all 8 pieces before they split too much and get out of control. I'm not sure what will happen if you do because I'm pretty sure that this is an attack that's intended to continue forever until someone wins. Well finding someone skillful enough to survive past the flame in the first place is practically impossible so getting them to coordinate eating Magnetron bits is inconceivable. Maybe people will get better in a few days.

It is possible to eat all the Magnetrons. I started the game at the same time as a friend, and we worked together to eat all the Magnetron. Once you eat all the Magnetron, the game soft locks and just loops the music forever with no way to die.

IDK why they designed it so you can't continue after every other player dies. Makes no sense -- the bosses don't require teamwork, just memorization and touhou-level reflexes. All it does is ensure that half of the bosses never see the light of day

The hard thing is you have to get at least 2 people to get past the flame level to get to the microwave. When me and this random dude beat the flame level I've never seen so much hype come out of those two cute little popcorn creatures.

[@undertaleandminecraftfan9184]

I’ve only gotten to the flames twice.

[@Ibloop]

@@undertaleandminecraftfan9184 The only problem for me was figuring out why I died from salt halfway, it was because of the salt rain. Once I figured out i had to avoid the shadows on the floor, I made it to flame every time. But had to try for a further 2 hours to find someone else who could beat the flame level.

[@CamsVidad-Solis]

🍿

[@Blue_Remix]

i have a strat for butter and salt: butter: always stay far away from him, trust me you barely get any bullets whilst far. hide behind any players that pop, it takes 2 hits to destroy a players corpse. so its like an extra 2 hearts! salt: now due to him having multiple things he can do, he has different strats depending on what he does, though a good tip for salt in general is to stay above him. you can see what move hes doing better. basic attack: his basic attack is pretty easy to dodge, just dont get too close to him so you can dodge it. burst attack: just keep moving around if you see a shadow near you. pretty simple most of the time. jump attack: (the one where he jumps before using it) keep to the middle row thats closest to the top, and switch between the top and the middle row if it starts coming near the row your on.

[@robertolol1785]

I use the audio cues on salt. the noise he makes for each attack is unique and very different. As for fire, with the heal kernel you can just sit there and eat anything that comes at you. I have made it to microwave a few times but never had someone good enough to bring out all of its moves. I only knew of the laser, the wave dots, and the circle of dots.

[@HumboldtSqu1d]

then fire and magnetron what strat

[@robertolol1785]

@@HumboldtSqu1d fire has 5 moves. The split fire bar can be countered by using your ability on the incoming projectiles. Otherwise it always has gaps, just run to the left until you find a gap and use it. The other bar will have opposite gaps. The next move you can see is the three spinning flames. This move is shown because the flames spawn equidistantly around the Boss. MY suggestion is to sit closer to him and once the first one or two flames go past you, run just underneath the Boss escaping their range. Next is the flame summoning. It creates circles on the ground to show where they will appear similar to the shadows used by the salt shaker. Once the flames are summoned, they stick around unless you use abilities to destroy them. They also slowly move around the board. Fourth is the fire lasers. Only way to survive is to be diagonal to the Boss when the move starts and run counter-clockwise once the bars start moving. Running closer to the Boss is faster than further. Final move is the flame circles. It indicates like the summoning move but covers most of the map. It will spawn two waves, one for initial damage and another that punishes those who stay still after the first wave.

Thank you for this video! I tried your tactics on the fire boss, hoping to see the microwave... and then everyone else just dies, giving me a free victory. I guess I won't be seeing the final boss anytime soon.

[@陳廷允]

Update: I got to the microwave level today and won! Heal kernel carry

[@CodeMLG2020]

Found a cool trick with the shield character: it can destroy projectiles on contact with the actual character (instead of just reflecting) so it's possible to completely negate the salt boss's projectile attacks by timing your shield well and standing right in front of it (just make sure to step back immediately so the boss doesn't damage you with his body) Doing this I managed to get to the end of the fire level with 11 alive initially unfortunately the last guy did not survive the lasers so no microwave :( Edit: Shield guy can't seem to destroy the tiny fires with eyes but healing guy can eat them and throwing guy can pick them up and throw them off the map or at someone)

[@ishu4227]

Finally got to see the microwave level. Do anyone knows weather "Heal" or "Shield" or "Catch and Throw" is the best?

[@ngolinhlan1840]

Shield is good when you know the use. Also whether*

[@woif00]

@@ngolinhlan1840 Depends on what you wanna do, and how skilled you are, I would argue that Heal is easiest to survive and get far. You have to ideally eat the projectiles standing where they barely don't hit you. You can also eat the little flames in the third level. Shield is a close second in my opinion, it has the advantage that you can shield yourself from the top and aoe attacks in the Salt level (to a certain degree) but you can't regain health. Catch and throw is the hardest one to "master" and not very favourable if you just want to survive. If your goal is just to win, then you have the obvious advantage of being able to actively target other players. If you're not very skilled with it, you'll most likely get yourself in trouble when trying to hit other players.

[@jraff2735]

Shield is the best overall, heal can be really good in fire levels but is overall slightly worse (especially with the lag) and Throwing Kernel is only good for screwing others over.

[@unimac6163]

Shield is almost certainly the best based on some of the crazy stuff I've seen people doing with it. I personally prefer to play healer. I've never seen a single thrower make it past salt.

[@jraff2735]

salt isn’t even that hard, for the first half just stand still at a specific spot, and at the end, just go to the edge of the pot and you’ll easily be able to dodge its attacks. The only hard pattern is when the salt shaker shakes, which will hit you if you stand still, just keep moving around and make sure not to go where another player was when it started shaking. And for the other variant, just go where there isn’t any shadows
