Crypt of the NecroDancer - All Bosses [No Damage] 

That is a very accurate description. Especially that chess boss.

Finally someone who knows how to say what I exactly felt!

More like speed chess, but precisely

against the best chess player over and over

🤣🤣🤣

Gideon Hoogvliet I stole the golden lute. Mine now.

@@Joryho he wants it back or he'll call the cops on you.

Why only Level 20? What system are you using?

​@@zacharyjoy8724 Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, most likely. Level 20 is the maximum there (at least for players - some few monsters go higher), and is pretty much "can fight a god and win" territory.

@@JohnvanCapel and then chromatic dragons that are somehow 20x stronger than gods just casually exist lol. Dunno if in 5e though

is this alpharad

YES id love to see alpha rage at this

2 days later he then makes a video not rythym heaven

Now it's "not legend of Zelda" kind of

A fellow member of the Ernie Gang, I see

name of the song pleaseeeeeeeeeee

@Elephant Seal or Momentum Mori

Honestly the first time I beat it was complete luck. Beat it first try tho.

And when your heart is pounding like crazy, it only makes that much more intense Seriously, I think I've beaten the first Necrodancer fight a ton of times and yet everytime I get there, my heart is racing

Decisions? Coordination? Bard and whip-then fucuf that shish.

Hahaha :(

So true. Maybe having some Zelda style will inspire you to do better. ;)

Same

I can't even get past Zone 1's 4th level-

Played for a few hours, still getting my ass kicked by the zone 1 boss. At least I don't feel bad for losing with a groove this catchy!

Ok I know this post is two years old but I agree. It seems like such a good starter boss because it shaves off a beat every so often so you can think about how to get yourself out of any predicament you might be in.

The conga line part was the absolute best part

@@shellsoura6539 broh its such a good song

Ok I know this post is four years old but I agree.

@@rattle_me_bones okay i know this reply is a 2 years old but i agree with yall

Holy shit. I found my old comment.

@@georgeridden1705New account?

that's on purpose. the entire game is rhythm

i know, i'm saying that it sounds really cool when the pigs shooting and the music combine

Another strategy is to use the bouncepads to re-synchronize to the head movement.

yeah, generally any hit to its head while it's confused from another attack will deal extra damage

I reccomend going to the beastmaster and practicing against the enemies you have the hardest time with. I had trouble with the Blademasters and Lichs until their pattern sunk in. Now that the DLC has come out there's a whole nother zone to memorize. (except i'm a noturna main so zone five is suuuper easy to me)

Thesaurus Rex I like the way you think

I now can't unsee it

Aria has a potion which can save her from 1 attack. So, you do have a choice. :)

Also glass armor, freeze charm, ring of shielding, and crown of teleportation.

So used to the golden lute quick kill that i never thought of doing a beat buffer by throwing the dagger instead. Seems terrifying.

Gamer Face it's anyway not anyways

Gamer Face :3

In Pokemon black and white (or it's sequel, I'm not quite sure) there is a poison type gym leader (who is the leader of this koffing themed rock band) that as you beat her gym trainer's, the music cuts out instrument by instrument until you get to her, jamming away on her guitar at the end.

Wdym they only move forward and attack diagonally?

Also their name probably derives from Deep Blue, the computer that beat Kasparov in chess

@@DuckStrider Ohhhhhhh

Oxman 7077 "fun" *dying to negrodancer again*

It is on sale at steam right now, you should go buy it

Someone Random I've been waiting to hear that

Cody Mischke could be worse could be aria on lute in amplified

Oxman 7077 yeah like he said this game is awesome though, but it is also challenging... like, REALLY challenging... like for Aria, do NOT miss a beat, you get hit you'll die, and you only use a dagger, and you have two chances

I think that only happens whenever you attack four beats in a row

Don't worry this isn't the worst the game has to offer. There is a mode where the tempo you have to move at is doubled, you cant pick up gold, you cant get hit, and if you miss a beat you die

@Mallory Oakes oh yea ill admit you will die hella lot but what im stating is usually in most rogue-likes you are weak as sh*t but in crypt of the necrodancer you are the strongest one of the board usually only dying after several mistakes (which yea you'll make) or getting overwhelmed its a weird taste for the genre but I wouldn't call it a bad taste

Until you play as Aria

It's very difficult, but if you play it enough, you'll get used to it. I've clocked over 800 hours (recorded playtime)... and still haven't beaten the game with Aria. :V

I’ve played the crossover with Legend of Zelda (the demo at least) and it’s really fun. Good luck getting out of the rhythm after playing though

@@danielmclatchie2053 this is a completely different game. cadence of hyrule is the Necrodancer x Zelda game

Yep. Came to see what this game was. It looks pretty good. The music sounds amazing too.

I have this on steam but haven't touched it yet - a story that can be told for many games I bought on sale or whatever. I don't have quite as much free time anymore, either, so starting some really big game like Hollow Knight or Crypt of the Necrodancer or Bastion isn't something I can do right now.

@@jimmyjohnjoejr.9020 is this game that big? To be compared with hollow knight? I didn't expect that.

@@UnknowingTio oh I'm not sure.

Me

quickfireyt YA SUCK ECKSDDDEEEEEE jk, i had hard time playing patapon, you know THR MOST AMAZING GAME EVER

Honestly it takes a lot of time to "git gud" but once you start to develop strats and pattern it gets easier and the game gets less frustrating. My prime exemple is the red dragon, i used to get POWNED by this fellow and rage quit until i started to notice it can only breath fire horizontaly, after that it got easier to beat and felt really satisfiing. Good luck!

Play with the bard and try to take as little damage as possible, eventually you'll know what needs to be done to defeat enemies and then you can take them on as Cadence

...that's not Kafkaesque

They said Kefka-esque.

It sounds more palpatine-esque to me.

they do stop playing if you destroy them prior to the part where coral reef itself(the bass) comes for you, provided you use the original soundtrack (danny b's). however the instruments goes back to playing when you're at that part. a really neat detail tbh

It's a procedurally generated dungeon crawler. You use the arrow keys for every action, with single button presses moving you, and combinations of 2 using various tools and items (as seen when he throws the Dagger). You have to move and perform actions to the beat of the music, indicated my the Heartbeat at the bottom of the screen (and listening to the music, of course) Normally a regular run consists of a set of 3 floors followed by a boss fight, but this is Boss Rush, so no normal floors.

megaman161 so really intense and requires lot of reaction time?

It can be really intense, but once you understand how each enemy moves and reacts to you it's more of a chess game, so to speak. Learning when to move, when it's safe to attack and such requires some practice. Especially with some characters like Aria (the last one shown) who will die if you miss a movement beat, get hit, or take any other weapon except the Dagger. Then there's Coda, who if I recall correctly the developers said at some point was impossible to beat the game with. I might be remembering that wrong or it might be hyperbole. He's extremely, extremely difficult though.

megaman161 I wouldn't call it hyperbole. The steam achievement for beating an all zones coda run has a completion percentage that shows that only about 5 people have earned it.

megaman161, what happens, if you don't time your beats of the music, what happens? And what happens, if you don't do anything?

This isn't even the quickkill strats

SuperGamersGames , what’s it called

That's the safe way to kill it. You'll get hit every time if you try to attack it with dagger at close range.

Plus, the only negative effect is it extends the fight. Even if you keep moving straight through water, you can still outrun him.

I was under the impression that you could move stand with 3 spaces between the two of you, both move towards each other at the same time, you then have a move and then attack before he gets his attack off... ahh well, maybe im just misremembering the boss.

You're not wrong. That IS easily doable without taking damage. This is just safer.

Coral Riff only damages you if you let it step next to you. However if you wait until it moves and there's 1 tile distance between you, stepping next to it in the 1st beat and hitting it in the 2nd will damage it and you'll remain unharmed. It's a quick and easy method. Too bad the boss attack pattern is so badly telegraphed, if a shockwave was drawn around it, it would be more obvious how to fight him.

Enemies have patterns based on the stage beat (how they move and when they attack), so to avoid getting hit you have to move on rhythm and calculate your distance from them. In regular stages you also get a coin multiplier if you keep the beat, and that makes it easier to buy stuff in the stores that you can find.

You can technically just stand still with all but two characters, it'll just reset your coin multiplier (which doesn't even matter in the middle of a boss fight) but it'd kinda be like skipping a turn in any other game

Just move in the rhythm 👌

He is actually a story boss and only cadence gets him

He seems like a miniboss because he only has two health...until you realize that he can't be damaged (except by a few rare weapons).

... he has 6 hp

and the earthquake scroll

You can, but he wasn't trying to lose his multiplier... And he would of had to of skipped a beat to wait for the boss to get to him... (skipping a beat, taking damage, and hitting a wall that you cant break down will cause you to lose a multiplier).

is it worth it for multi bonus?

Sometimes holding the beat gives bonuses on items, particularly obsidian items... And some characters die if you miss one beat, so it is good if you train yourself to stick it right.

chad morris ok

True, but it takes more time/moves setting up to melee than to line up and throw the dagger. He resets on hit either way, so retrieval gives him something to do rather than prancing around waiting for boss man to get back from his seascape vacation.

Yes, if you move too far out of the beat you won't move

Yep. With the exception of a Bard playthrough (which is pretty much Easy Mode), everything in the game moves to the music - making this part rhythm game, part Roguelike dungeon crawler.

Yes

Simon S. You control her and you time your movement and attacks to the beat.

Like Gideon from anti birth?

You could say that, but Gideon summons monsters by waves and the mini-bosses here are summoned by the bells, another difference is that Gideon doesn't attack you directly, and dead ringer will charge at you if in 5 cardinal tiles of his sight, the 2nd dead ringer stage is the same charge but a lot more dangerous. (Ik that this comment is old)

Its easy to forget about the dagger being throwable as Aria, seeing it is your only weapon. It can be a great option. For the Life boss, you can also synchronize to the boss with the bounce lads, or by attacking it's body, doing zero damage, but putting you in position to attack. (I used bounce pads, I'm not a legend)
