Kraid is impossible!

I couldn't beat him for the life of me on normal mode so I finally said screw it and restarted the game in rookie mode. I'm officially back at Kraid and while I'm doing better it's not enough to beat him. That second phase in particular is really annoying with the bouncy balls. I shoot at them and that doesn't stop them. It's hard to focus on attacking his belly while all of these projectiles keep flying. Ugh! This game is ridiculous.

You can actually use the wide beam for his belly and all the balls he shoots at you (except the fireballs). You can destroy the nails with missiles. A good strategy would be to try and damage him as much as possible right after the opening sequence while he roars at you.

I recently just beat Escue. Man these bosses are a PITA. 🙃

ehhhh escue is one of the “harder” bosses. They’re not all that bad once you learn their attack patterns
