| Summary | 0006059: Shadow bats | ||||
| Description | Shadow bats are the most annoying bosses, and not in a good way. Their range of shadow is very large, and the fact that they attack you by touching you means you can't dodge them. Since you can't see anything when they approach you, the only working strategy I've found is to sit and hit them every time they attack. In general, I think it's not a good idea to take away the player's maneuverability, and that's what they do. My suggestion: decrease the shadow to a very small range, and make the bats mostly invisible with a small outline. They'll then be harder to spot than an average bat, but not as annoying as they are now. | ||||

Sorry. The server didn't reply the first time, and I thought this wasn't received. |

I admit I've not played in a little while due to technical difficulties but the last time I did I definitely remember being able to dodge Shadow Bats - is this no longer possible / prohibitively difficult now? |

You can sort of see where they are from the information that floats with them, but you can't see your surroundings, which in the caves means that you can't predict which way to jump, esp. with falling damage. I haven't been able to dodge them, but maybe others can...? |

Frankly I find shadow bats to be by far one of the easier bosses, I take more damage from the trash enemies in the room than I do shadow bats, unless it's a very small boss area. They are pretty easy to dodge even with the shadow effect, sufficiently so that I'm not sure how you have issues with it, all you need to do is run in a big circle around a blob of land and they will never hit you. If your issue is the terrain being blocked out then just keep one eye on the map, though lets face it in a boss fight you should probably be doing that anyway. |

Maybe that's the issue -- I don't look at the map unless I have to in order to find (typo: not fight) stuff. How can those shadow bats be easier than the amoebas? The skelebot? Seriously? You can dodge the heck out of those guys. |
