"As you inflict irreparable damage to the chassis of the Roarmulus twin, it turns to you. One of its sensors dangles from its socket, the baleful glow reduced to sputtering sparks. The groaning of stressed metal heralds the collapse of its supports, but its jaws open wide for one last attack...

The energy that the mechanical beast vomits forth goes wide - half-blinded and falling in upon itself, the beam obliterates the neck of its twin. The gaping maw of the ruined machine seems to be open in surprise. Not even the Gremlins can salvage them now, as they collapse into the darkness. The wind rushing through the rends you've made in their steel hides sound like a mournful howl, cut short by one last knell as they reach the end of the depths."

Like this?

Where'd you come up with this?!

The bosses are connected, thus they share the damage each takes.

One malfunctions horribly and explodes, so this causes fatal damage to the other as well.

They're twins, let them die together :P

Homing rockets really would make this stage unplayable with others. Don't forget the shieldswitch thingies. Dodging through those shields with 3 other people while trying to make it aim for the last twin would be annoying, perhaps impossible.

Besides...its a video game, starting any argument with unrealistic just doesn't cut it for me...I mean enemies pop into smoke upon death...and to go with what Loki said, I mean they're twins, what if they're the kind that shares the same body somehow (assuming that the fact they appear to float is just because we can't see that far down). I don't think its that easy to live with a dead neck hanging on ya.

It is very important to notice that Spiral Knights developers have as priority one to make this game as realistic as possible. It is strongly based and inspired in our every day real life. No metaphors, no science fiction. We deserve better.

The other one saw his brother get killed, and he died of sadness. :(
I hope you're happy with yourself.

If you killed one and the other were still alive, how would you get it stunned?

Did I just see someone calling a video game unrealistic? riiiight.

I don't think any of us want to have our boss battles any more difficult or tedious. This is not a realistic game. If you want realism, play games of the following genres: Sports, Action, Adventure, Simulation, Casual, Racing, and most strategy games. Realism is NOT for MMOs.

Well the mechanic works as one is only vulnerable when the other is hit by team kill rockets correct? Well if there's only one left, how are you gonna knock it out? Sure homing missiles, but they'd have to be slow and it'd be annoying to get the last one to teamkill it self, OR you make it so it's not invincible anymore but that doesn't make sense considering all you have to do. They die like this not only cause bonded twins thing because it's a simpler game mechanic that makes it easier, so basically it stays Tier 2 difficulty.

>Also, i wish the missiles did damage, instead of just a way to stun the boss.

I actually had the hilarity occur where one of the twins got hit by a rocket after it got stunned before we could reach it and entered the next phase and threw a shield in our faces. I think they do damage, or maybe it's something that has been patched up now. I remember this being shortly after the update.

I also quite like what was mentioned before me, I'd love to see that happen.
