Hey, do you have any advice on the fire dragon? It is the "shooter" style boss. Ugh, I suck at shooter games. Is there a blind spot or something? I can never get to him with more than 1/2 my life, I always have less than 1/2, ahhh!
Oh yeah, I remember that section...it was...interesting. Hmm, the only advice I can give you is to replay it until you can anticipate the enemy pattern. It's not that difficult, well, compared to shmups like Raiden, and don't even get me started on Cave shmups...ugh. I think I only took 2-3 hits before I made it to the Dragon (which is kind of necessary, since the Dragon Boss starts out with a huge life bar), so my life was quite high...that having been said, when I finally beat him, I only had about 2-3 small bars of life left. Yeah, it's one of the hardest bosses in the game, but it also attacks in a simple pattern. The most important thing is to make it to the dragon taking the least hits possible along the way, because you're going to need a LOT of life to defeat the dragon. Edit: I forgot, shoot the dragon's head, not the tail. I'm not sure if shooting the tail hurts him at all or not, but I did notice his life bar dropping faster when my shots hit his head.
Also, not sure if you're aware of it, but another member here, SylarDean, has a Xak game guide over at
http://snesrpggaming.weebly.com/xak---t ... stage.html There's a lot of very useful info there, so check it out! I know it was invaluable when I was searching for all the "events" in the game. Good luck!
@SylarDean: I hope you don't mind my plugging your Xak sanctuary. It was really useful, and I think it can help a lot of new people with some of the difficult areas.
