You can do it! The sneaky thing with the boss rush is that the bosses mostly only get more chaotic as they go. So if you can get good at taking the Misery fight super carefully and the first Doctor fight carefully enough, you can rush down the mad doc with missiles and muddle through the core.

Core fight tips imo: take down Sue first, then Misery, clearing the adds for hearts as you go. Misery is almost more of a help than a threat if you're good at fighting crowds, but when you get the core by itself suddenly all the chaos is gone and the fight isn't too bad. Without the distractions its tells are obvious enough even for me.

Note that I am bad at videogames, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but the point stands.

Yeah, I am kinda losing track of things and also gotta get more missiles. Thanks, will give it more tries tomorrow.

Don’t think I’ll have time after work to finish the game I got bodied so many times by the labyrinth mech boss thingy. It’s me, I’m the one with the skill issue

Using the spur to destroy a lot of the minions was what got me through undead core. Be aware as well that after fighting the doctor you can talk to the rabbits twice and they’ll give you some hearts.

I only got the bad ending, but I've never finished cave story so I'm going to continue playing even after the deadline. Incredibly good game

Well, I unfucked myself thanks to the tips here. Things are much easier when you don't have homing projectiles on your rear end constantly.



: Defeat Balfrog
: Beat the game

Played in CS+ because I remembered I had got it at some point and figured it would be easier to setup my gamepad rather than original. Playing with keyboard may have been a factor on why I had never finished the game before.
Still using original music though.

Hell run may have to be for Impmas, as I will need a whole new run from the start.

I had a faint memory that you could heal there but forgot the exact part that you have to talk to them twice. Thanks you.

Also they are clearly cabbits (cat rabbits)

I did, nothing happened. Don't know if it's a bad rom or just incompatible with the emulators, I'll try later.
