Guide to defeating Super Gideon Graves and Gigadeon Graves in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. Learn strategies for both phases and the importance of the Sword of Love.
Walkthrough
- 1Stage 7-1b: Pleasure Palace - Super Gideon Graves
- Super Gideon Graves is Ramona's seventh Evil Ex-boyfriend.
- 2He hits hard and quickly at a good range.
- 3Watch out for his one-winged shoulder-tackle, similar to Negascott's pose; dodge it quickly.
- 4When knocked down, he may jump off-screen and rain meteors; avoid the shadows. He may also drop one large meteor when low on HP.
- 5He can become invincible, indicated by flashing; stay away until he stops.
- 6He is a difficult opponent, so stay focused.
- New enemies: MEDUSA HEADs. They float quickly and can catch you off guard.
- This is not a bonus stage; you can be hurt.
- Avoid pits and falling blood droplets, which do significant damage.
- At the end of the highway, you will fight a couple of MEDUSA HEADs.
- The fastest strategy is to run straight down the middle, jumping over pits and ignoring most enemies until the final MEDUSA HEADs.
- As you approach Gideon, you will see the Sword of Love in a cloud. Grab it; it significantly eases the next fight.
- If you miss the sword, the next fight will be extremely difficult and may require stocking up on extra lives.
- Gigadeon Graves is the final boss.
- Phase 1:
- If you have the Sword of Love, this fight is short but difficult. Without it, it's very long and challenging.
- Attack from the farthest possible range to hit Gigadeon's bottom half.
- The six heads of the evil exes spit lightning balls.
- If you get too close, Gigadeon emits a massive electroshock. He often counters hits with this, so maintain distance.
- If you stay out of range, you may not take any hits.
- Phase 2:
- The sword helps make this phase manageable.
- Gigadeon's fist reaches across most of the screen and does heavy damage. Never stand directly in front of it.
- If he moves backward, he may shoot bloody skulls that bounce off the platform or call down lightning from above.
- If he gets angry, he slams both fists into the platform, removing parts of the playing field.
- He will then shoot three massive skulls from his heart across the screen; stay low to avoid their vertical range.
Tips
- Using Sammo's clubs can be helpful against Super Gideon.
- Prioritize grabbing the Sword of Love in Stage 7-2 to make the Gigadeon fight significantly easier.
- If you miss the Sword of Love, prepare for a very tough fight and consider using extra lives.
- For Phase 1 of Gigadeon, maintain maximum range to avoid his electroshock counter.
- In Phase 2, always be aware of Gigadeon's fist reach and avoid standing in front of it.
- Dodge the skulls and lightning attacks carefully.
- When Gigadeon slams his fists, be mindful of the shrinking arena.
