That was nice of her to do in the prequel. Yeah, turns out Zero invented the concept only a little over a century before Drakengard 1. Remember those from Drakengard 1 and 2? They were kind of a big deal. I offer up the flame of my life-Īnd whatever nonsense incantation Zero casts trails off at this point. I'll just let this play out.īy the power of my song, I hereby forge a pact in exchange for the life of this dragon! But the end result might be vaguely familiar. So I have no explanation as to anything that is happening at this point. Don't you die on me, you asshole! Don't you. No! No, you have to reincarnate! Do it now!
Not even a trophy unlock can keep the weakened dragon on its feet. That would just be silly.ĭespite the victory over the final angel, Mikhail collapses to the ground and dumps Zero off his back following the fight's conclusion. At least Mikhail will not become the Raincoat Killer. Still at least we made it through without hearing Amazing Grace. were the air not already filled with purple poison gas. The smell would probably be overpowering. It would be preferable if you didn't have our dumb baby dragon sidekick suffocate. Watch out for that thread! Get out of the way when he's firing that junk!Īlright game, you've already killed off the entirety of Zero's party outside Mikhail. Let's squash this asshole and get the hell out of here! He's vulnerable after he spits that poison. And getting knocked to the ground high up and having to deal with Mikhail's ten second recovery animation ain't ideal in a timed boss battle. If Mikhail isn't already in motion when Raphael spits poison it can be awfully hard to evade. It can fire it off at any time, it blends into the background, and it has a wonky ass hitbox that is twice the size of what it looks like it ought to cover from the cloud.
Last, but certainly not least, Cent and Two's summon has by far the most annoying attack in its poison cloud spitting technique. Has anyone ever died from a webspinner in Resident Evil? They never even bothered to give the player death animations against spiders they were so non-threatening. The asphyxiation arachnid can additionally try to whack Mikhail out of the air if he lingers near him around ground level. Regardless, that does a decent tick of damage if Mikhail is caught in its radius. or whatever the spider equivalent of a butt stomp is. He will immediately retaliate with a shockwave butt stomp. It's important to keep our distance from Raphael as he recovers from its stun cycle. Anyway, now we can pull a follow-up headbutt ram and knock the bastard on its back for some gas lighting action. Very good idea to avoid going near it because Drakengard 3's camera does not appreciate it. By the way there's a magic dome covering the arena. However, evading the webslinging action will cause Raphael's shot to become stuck to the magic dome covering the arena. Mikhail is far too young a dragon to be getting hit in the face with sticky white stuff.
Getting nailed with this will stun Mikhail for a time, leaving him and Zero open to attack. Instead, gas chamber tarantula will rear back long enough to muster a web-shot to shoot out toward Mikhail's position. But, Branch B's final boss will not just topple over like Five's tacky doof of an angel. This requires a well timed headbutt from our dragon into Raphael's face. Raphael has the same issue of Dubstep Crab where its top half is resistant (not entirely invulnerable this time) to Mikhail's fireballs. It's not a hard battle at all outside running out of time to kill the damn thing. Honestly, this thing has way the hell too much of a wall of HP to reasonably beat in that time period and I've bested it a grand total of once without continuing to bump down the difficulty cuz fuck it. Such is the dangerous nature of premarital relations, kids: Three story tall poisonous doom-spiders.ĭue to the regular pumping of poison vapors from Raphael's body, we have a five minute time limit to squash this spider or else Mikhail and Zero will succumb to the poison for an instant game over. Did you know spiders born of love energy have remarkable flatulence? It's true! Also that said flatulence is composed of deadly neurotoxins? It's all accurate.
