 Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2003 5:40 am Post subject: How do you beat the zone 1 boss--am I bugged, or an idiot? |
 |
|
quickie: I've browsed through the forums and spoilers, didn't see what i'm looking for.
I have have a maxed out destroyer, everything possible has been researched and built (even shields), station's maxed, etc. etc. etc...
My problem is, I can't kill the boss. It's not that he's killing me, he just won't die. I blast the crud outta him, I drag the station over to join in on the beating, and even though everything's hitting him (arms are toast in no time), he just doesn't die--or, aside from the arms blowing up, even seem to notice us at all until we bump in to him.
Furthermore, whenever something bumps into him, he just flits off to the upper left corner of the screen, so that 3/4 his 'body' isn't even visible anymore.
----
What gives? there's gotta be something obvious that i'm missing...everything in the zone is dead, i've been everywhere (in zone 1), the worms have been out and about for quite a while now, and I know it ain't just a matter of pumping more firepower into him. I really do want to see all those other zones everyone's talking about 
And on my latest attempt, the boss was just a ghost--Aegis would target it, but everything went right through it. Was hoping to post a funny pic of Aegis with the 4 arm-extension thingies sticking out of it (from bumping aegis right over the boss), but I'm too new to forums to figure out how to attach pics 
on a side note, I installed the latest patch, and nothing changed (though he never did the ghost thing before installing it) |

Sorry, this sounds like the infamous save file bug, we have had two other reports of the problem in the past, but never been able to reproduce it or track it down, it is very rare. It may be possible to correct the save, please mail it in to support@moonpod.com, previously I fixed one of the saves but the other guiy had to restart. Look in your \data\saves folder and zip it up.
Nobody has ever been able to reproduce this or had any clue as to why it happens, very frustrating  . If I can see the save and confirm it is the problem I think it is I might be able to compare it to the previous ones and shed some light on it. |

He did send in his save (thanks very much  ) and it was the bug I was looking for (it is very rare). Version 1.2d fixes it.
BUT you can indeed bring the Aegis into the boss fight with you, meant to be a last resort kind of thing if you have to bail out of your ship. |
