Boss: Giganto Paul

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • A sad old man who once had a valuable treasure, but can't remember where or what it was.
  • Possible answers to his questions: The Company?, Crowded Train, Your Daughter?, The Wife?, Your Treasure, Your Daughter?, The Wife?, Open Sesame.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Giganto Paul attacks with Cursed Straw Bales, 3-Pronged Pitchforks, Strawman's Path, and 16 Tons of Work.
  2. Phase 2: Pitchforks attack in order of arrival.

Strategy:

  • Cursed Straw Bales: Stand immediately above and to the left of the bottom centre of the screen; all attacks will miss.
  • 3-Pronged Pitchforks: Stand near the bottom of the screen and move laterally to dodge. In Phase 2, be mindful of both sides.
  • Strawman's Path: Follow the path closest to the edge of the screen for less lateral movement.
  • 16 Tons of Work: Watch the shadow and avoid the bottom of the screen.
  • Heavy Pressure (Cursed Straw Bales + 16 Tons): Navigate patterns for both simultaneously.
  • Nowhere to Run (Cursed Straw Bales + 3-Pronged Pitchforks): Stand for Cursed Straw Bales and prepare to dodge toward the bottom centre.
  • Trail of Regret (Strawman's Path + 3-Pronged Pitchforks): Advice for both attacks applies; keep track of both patterns.
