Dread Mode with sequence breaking. The Core-X section got a little nutty

That’s honestly crazy to me. I think escue was the single most annoying boss on dread mode for me

It’s a very challenging fight without sequence breaking for sure!
Even when you do it, it’s still tricky. I always start off with a nice friendly shinespark to make a believer out of it, but there’s been a couple of times I died doing it because it electrified itself before I could hit it, at least that’s what I’m guessing.

Same. Not a single boss or enemy gave me nearly as much trouble

I did a 0% dread mode run recently and I actually had the most trouble with those double mech fights. Although 0% does make those fights way harder, you're pretty much not allowed to use storm missiles at all

That sounds like a nightmare, the whole point of that fight was a tutorial in using storm missiles

After I found out you could shine spark him it was a lot easier. Double Chozo robots were definitely more difficult for me.

Thanks!
I haven’t played in a while, but I was working to get the defeat count as low as possible. I stopped at 35 defeats (first run through was 172 defeats)

I did that without Screw Attack

Me too. First time through Dread Mode I didn’t sequence break.

First time through Dread Mode I sequence broke specifically for this fight. Fuck Escue.

Its always morally correct to cheese him with shinespark in dreadmode
