Boss Strategy: The Kid (The Forest Boss)

Learn the best strategy to defeat The Kid, the boss of The Forest in Super Meat Boy. This guide covers his attacks and how to dodge them effectively.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Kid is vulnerable after he finishes his attack patterns.
• He is weak to direct attacks.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Kid will primarily shoot projectiles at Meat Boy. Dodge these by moving between them or using wall jumps.
2. Phase 2: The Kid becomes more aggressive, increasing the speed and frequency of his projectiles. He may also introduce a new attack pattern.
3. Phase 3: The final phase where The Kid uses his most challenging attack patterns. This phase requires quick reflexes and precise execution.

Strategy:

• Observe The Kid's attack patterns carefully. Each phase introduces new patterns or variations.
• Prioritize dodging over attacking. It's better to survive and wait for an opening than to rush and get hit.
• Use the environment to your advantage. Wall jumps and precise platforming can help you evade attacks.
• When The Kid finishes an attack sequence, quickly move in to land a few hits before he begins his next pattern.
• Be patient. This boss fight can be challenging, and it may take several attempts to learn his moves and find the right rhythm.
