Well, technically I didn't get hit even close to enough to actually need 50 HP.
The actual reason was before the video, when I was getting *really* impatient and would just crash through half the shots in an attempt to get to which ever pattern I was actually testing, as fast as possible. So I said, screw it, 50 HP, let's just get this over with....
The test room needs to be reloaded every time a "system" is altered, which I did many, many times, so.... I had to run through every pattern many.... many times.
The thing can be beaten without getting hit, though. This run in the video is with me having had not much practice at all. The day's testing doesnt actually amount to much of that.
This isnt unbeatable, Terminus will be a bit closer to that though. No, the REALLY nasty one... isnt in the game yet. What I've dubbed the "ultra-boss". Not the actual name. That'll come much later, with no video until the expansion releases. I dont even want to think about how much testing that nightmare will need. A certain type of player likes this type of boss, on the really extreme off-chance that they ever even get to such a thing, so I intend on giving them one.
If anyone knows what Hibachi is, it's... like that.
