    Is easier than Gleeok I should say

    Yo I'm not sure why, but this popped for me upon entering the boss room before I even fought it once. You guys can take the cheevo from me if you want, as I plan to master this game later anyways and haven't attempted this yet.

    Here's when it happened, at 3:00:36.

    This was on a 2nd save file that you can see at the beginning of video, if that matters. My first save file was way before I discovered this site. I'm not sure if I beat it damage-less, prob not lol

    can confirm, for some reason already having 1 save slots makes the cheevo trigger after crossing the door

    Some useful tips that won't show up in the video above, especially if you're slower with hitting the hands:

    1) Rolling left and right to avoid the hands dropping is a safe and easy way. After they drop, they always pull back, which is why it's best to avoid ever being behind them.

    2) After leaving the head, the hand will often raise and wait for you to unshrink yourself -- if there are two hands on the same side in this moment, you are guaranteed to get hit. So the solution is to go behind the boss and onto the opposite side to unshrink yourself so that there's only one hand per side. And just roll down past the hand that followed after unshrinking as it falls.

    3) Sometimes he fires a laser, but just stay near the entrance and nothing will happen. Sometimes the beetle things will drop, but they're hardly a threat, either.

    In fact, the hand swipes, which rarely happen, are the only thing that can be a real threat if you just stay along the bottom wall for most of the battle.

    Finally got it! When small you can run behind the head, become larger again on the side with no hand there.

    This was way harder than Gleeok as I constantly got hitted when growing back. Then I saw the guide and realized how can I walk off and avoid the hands.

    Just did this achievement twice and got a popup each time, but the game crashed when i tried to check the achievements section in my emulator. Atleast its gotten super easy to no damage the boss.
    CastelloTheDevil 23 Oct 2024 19:48
    Ok make that 3 times now. It says "error reaching retroachievements" when i try to open up the achievements page.
