Roarmulus Twins Strategy (spoiler?)
Wed, 07/06/2011 - 19:11
Here's what I've seen so far...
The "Platform":
- Switches are located at the top and at the bottom beside the doors
- There are 6 walls. Only 2 top/bottom on one side and 1 middle wall on the other may be active at a time.
- 4 respawn point for surgebots
Stage 1
Battle starts with the whole top and bottom part of the platform covered in breakable blocks (except for the respawn point for the bots)
The twins stand on each side of the platform and starts firing missiles
They will stop firing missiles and fires 2-3 waves of shock bolt in an arc
Use the switches to navigate the missiles to hit the opposite twin
Once the twin get damaged enough, it will tilt it's head forward, reachable to be hit with swords (a large arrow will indicate this moment)
Stage 2
One of the twin starts moving side to side and is shielded, meaning you can only hit the other twin
A few large missiles will drop from the top. A bomb-like radius will show where they will hit
Stage 3
Both twins now starts moving side to side, one of the twin will sometime stop shooting missiles and fires a stream of lasers
Hide behind the walls to avoid the lasers
Just like in stage 2, but even more missiles will drop from the top
Stage 4? - Never reached it. Server restart~ :p
Anyone gotten farther than this?

There is no stage 4. Once you
There is no stage 4. Once you damage a twin enough it will die, and the other one dies too.
Easy enough, despite it being such a hard boss.

curse?
i got that bug so i could end it, but if u curse them from the damage i noticed they would die pretty quicly
they seem to have like 2k hp and hit like 150
so they would die pretty quicly with curse?

best strategy
im the best roarkiller ever. EVER.
once they start moving, the key is to never aim at them, as you will miss 100% of the time.
there are only two things you need to know, where the head youre trying to hit is, and where it was. then you aim at the place that is neither of those two. insta win.

Killed it for the first time...
Finally killed it on 3rd try. 1st is a fail; twins is invisible and yet still shot at us... 2nd is a fail as the server is rebooting. Third one is a success and here's a better summary:
Stage 1 - Keep bots trapped. Let one of the twin hit the other with missile. Once hit, charge towards the damaged twin.
Stage 2 - Release bots if necessary to give way for rockets. Do the same as stage 1.
Stage 3 - Same as above except more maneuvering avoiding bombardment and lasers.
Recommendation:
- Fast~Medium speed weapons (e.g. Calibur or Autogun series) to quickly do damage as you only have a few seconds to hit it.
- Elemental shield mostly to defend against shock bolts and sometime, the rockets.

We downed him, first try.
We downed him, first try. Basically it took us a very long time, because we were edging the strat out infight.
Phase 1:
Don't do anything besides getting walls up and down to hit one of the Bosses with the rockets, the others shoots.
Speeding it up:
Right Boss takes hits - deny as much rockets as possible, the right one shoots with Shields up to make sure, you get 100% hits. Don't gamble here, you want to skip this Phase as fast as possible. Use fast weapons, have some1 using a Combuster. He will land charged hits, whenever possible.
Phase 2:
Focus on one point, where you want to get the Boss hit. One person responsible for Walls, other two keeping Bots away. Shout in Voice when hits are incoming, so everyone is charging up and ready to land hits. Don't run around like mad, just focus on one point. Get a hing of the timing, the Boss moves.
Phase 3:
Avoid lasers and bombs. Again choose one point where you want to get the Boss hit with rockets. Spread out on the map, to avoid to much bombardement on one position. One Person for Walls, two for Bots. Here you will take the longest time. Save health pills.
Done. Biggest thing is getting a hang of the rythm. As soon as you are in the flow, keep it and you should be fine.
Good luck everyone. Nice fight!

"Shout in Voice when hits are
"Shout in Voice when hits are incoming"
While very helpful, unfortunately most people don't have Steam and even fewer have voice chat. When I first fought the boss with a party only one other guy had voice chat so pretty much the entire battle was just us 2 barking orders at each other (mostly me because I had experience from a solo battle) and the other 2 tried to help out but they just ended up dying while we tried to coordinate the switches.

realized something
I think the fight room before the boss was to give you a sense of team work. You guys know the room im talking about, there are two switches, blocked by undestroyable blocks, and you have to guide the rockets through by hitting the switches, but unfortunately, enemies are spawning in the corner of the room, so you have to fend those back. Did anyone notice, that when the Roarmulus twin is done "Sha da Whoop!"ing, that he falls down, probably form exhaustion?
Also, does anyone think this is a boss fight that would be easier with less people?

Fly18:
Don't do bosses in
Fly18:
Don't do bosses in Pugs, at least if the boss is new and most of the randoms doesnt know him.

2 people is the perfect
2 people is the perfect number I've found, any more and they'll waste your time. One person to handle switches, one to handle bots, shouldn't be hard for the one guy to deal with those weak bots.

Can you do damage exclusively
Can you do damage exclusively to one of the two and still defeat the boss?
Or do you have to deal damage to both of them to win?

in the first 2 stages, you
in the first 2 stages, you have to damage them till they shield
3rd stage, you can just go for one, as they will die once one dies.

I did Roarmulus twice
I did Roarmulus twice yesterday since I'm trying to power up my Ash Tail set to Skolver for Lockdown and hopefully find some Forge Sparks, and T2 pugs remain far and away the fastest way there is to get heat (the worse the group, the better the heat, so long as you can carry them)
Only two people need to actually know the fight for it to work - one person on switches, one person covering that person. So it's a pretty forgiving fight now, even though nothing's really changed. The new JK is tons easier now though, I was never able to solo him before without dying.

easy to solo
Probably the easiest boss to solo, in my opinion. Certainly the only one i've ever killed without ever getting hit. If you get the timing right on the switches and have a strong enough weapon you can easily kill them faster solo than with any team :D
If you've got a DA and a damage increase of at least very high you can destroy a head in a single stun just using the basic combo's :)
Remember that the laser attack in the final stage is actually your friend.... let the missiles from the other one through and they almost always hit and the stun kicks in after the laser ends... Ample time to get ready for the final pwnage :D
(When you mentioned spoilers I thought you meant this thread was for red roarmulus... got me interested :P )

This thread is almost four
This thread is almost four months old, let it die.
If I remember correctly it's 3 stages, and once you hit one down the other goes with it, (Killing the twin I mean) and once you deal damage up to the twin's 'threshold,' forcing it to shield, you have to do the same to the other.
