Wow I kinda screwed up

2004-03-12 07:02:12 pm

I was playing around in Hard mode sequence breaking. I already had cool enough stuff and was ready to go, but I forgot to get the High Jump Boots and some other things I need. I took the short cut in the upper portions of Nofair that goes along the east portion of the map to reach Ridley and I am now stuck at Imago with like 3 E-Tanks and about 25 missiles. I can't beat him with my puny supply of missiles. Sucks to be me right now, foolishly attacking a giant wasp with almost no weapons.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Shoot the stingers he fires for ammo. Plenty doable.

There are two options. The first is to not even fight Imago. Go to the room to the right of the elevator (if that's a Save Point, then the next room over) and fire two missiles into the second block in the cieling. IBJ up there and bomb the top right block. Climb up, go to the right, and tada! You're in Ridley's Lair without ever having picked up a Super Missile Tank. And the best part is, there's two of them sitting right out in the open that are accessible to you.

The second option is to beat Imago. Now, I only recommend this option if you have the Charge Beam, because the way I'm going to describe prevents you from being in a position to shoot his stingers and replenish your missiles. Go to the bottom of the room and crouch down at the right side of the lowest point. Angle up and plaster him with missiles or charge shots whenever he passes from right to left (it's possible to hit him when he's going the other way, but you only have enough time for one shot and the timing takes some getting used to, so don't waste your missiles on it). This puts you in a position where you can hit him but he cannot hit you. It's a long, drawn-out battle, but if you stay there the entire time you can easily take him out with even the smallest amounts of health and weapons.

I usually skip Imago till later because I have already obtained some supermissiles.

My game is screwing up when fighting Imago. Whenever I want to fight him, the door does not open after I beat him, hence the game completely freezes at that point (I can't continue if I can't even get out of the room, y'know :P). Help, anybody? :? Crying or Very sad

Even after getting the Super Missile the door remains locked up. I've tried shooting the damn thing with the beam, the Missiles, the Supers, the Power Bombs, getting out through where I came, and still nothing. I waited until I recovered the Gravity Suit to go back and fight Imago, and still no go. :?

You dont need the Supermissile to open the door in the room

You probably have a glitched game.

Yep :/ Sounds like a return to me. I've never experienced a lockup or glitch in ZM like that.

The enraging part is, the first three or four times I played the game, it worked alright... Ever since I unlocked Hard mode, it's been locking up at Imago. :?

Quite a wild guess, don't you think? ;)

Indeed, I do have the ROM, but it has strangely worked alright ever since I downloaded it. It's my cart that's glitching up.

Ready and willing.

I'd assume it's a defective cart. They can't ALL work right...
