Then you lose like 500 times and the emotion goes away- IF YOU WANT TO DIE SO MUCH THEN JUST LET ME KILL YOU ALREADY (If you can't tell, I'm currently trying to beat him now... And failing miserably)
I personally didn't care but this game really made a example of how video game storytelling can be done which directly or indirectly inspired my favourite games considering they are mostly all indie
Yeah, he's like a person during a zombie apocalypse who has been infected and wants someone to kill him before it's too late because he's not able to do it. It's depressing when a person knows their only best outcome is to be killed.
And he still fights you anyway because he can't control his own powers, it's pretty sad... but also infuriating when you have to redo the whole Hell course...
The second stage always gets me. First stage? Not too hard. Third stage? Easy. Fourth stage? Super rocket spam. But THAT is the section that keeps getting me, goddamnit.
The fact that three different, totally unique tracks play throughout the battle lends a LOT to the grandiose feeling of awe and success you get from fighting it. Not to mention, you just made it through hell, and you worked your butt off to save Curly and you just get saved by the FIRST boss in the game in a total heel turn? Amazing storytelling, compounded by impeccable game design. Cave Story is one of the greats, and let’s not forget it was originally COMPLETELY free (not to say it isn’t worth the $30 it costs today).
lmfao please guys, take your rose tinted nostalgia goggles off for two seconds. did we even just watch the same boring repetitive easily readable only-has-2-attacks-per-phase final boss??? such ridiculous glazing over such mediocrity LOL
@@thedeadweight5726 Actually I think the whole reason he was trying to pull the island down was so he could kill himself. And obviously in this battle we kill him so he's not immortal
TLDR: Ballos was killed physically but not spiritually. The ghost dog says that his out of control magic made it so he couldn't die, after the boss fight, before the walls start closing in, Ballos mentions that he is in pain despite not being physically present anymore, and this isn't just flavor text, Curly reacts to it BEFORE noticing the walls, also, Balrog doesn't say "You killed Ballos, right?" He only says beat, not killed, implying that Balrog is aware that Ballos cannot die, and on a musical note, the song that plays when the walls close in is 'Zombie' the same song that plays when the red crystal infused spirit of the doctor appears to initiate the Undead Core fight.
I'm supposed to be rescuing my best friend, but this one evil wizard keeps kicking my ass. I'm other words, I can not beat him. At least, not in his fourth form.
Some people said that was the EASIEST, all u gotta do is use a rocket booster, get on his head, shoot some bats, get some hp, exp, maybe some missle ammo, get back down and keep shooting. get alot of hp for the next phase
Ballos is pretty easy. Getting to him is extremely hard. I used this strategy to beat him: Stage 1 - The Machinegun when he's on the ground. When he goes airborne and shoots lightning, I constantly sidestep to avoid them, while spamming Curly's Nemesis. If you do that, almost every bullet will hit him, and thanks to that you can focus on avoiding his lightning. Stage 2 - Using the Booster to fly under him. When he stops jumping, I boost myself on a little platform next to his eye with the Blade, spam the button for around a second and jump down. One attack session like that will take down around 15% of his health, even if the Blade is on Level 1. Stage 3 - Basically, the same strategy as with form 1 - focusing on dodging his projectiles and spamming Curly's Nemesis into the air. Stage 4 - Ignore all the damage, jump on the little platform right next to his eye, spam Super Missiles, and pray he dies quicker than you.
Actually, I found a better strategy for Phase 4 if you're using the Machine Gun. Lv3 Machine Gun is a must. The strategy is hovering above Ballos by shooting downwards in the air. That way, majority of the arrows should miss you, and you can still damage Ballos at the same time. If you use the Spur, he's a joke.
He is afraid of Pain for his experiences. He WANNA DIE but he is afraid of Pain. Thats why he have to be killed by a warrior. His instincts make him want to fight back.
Which is better Blade or Nemesis? I say blade, sure it has low range, but it's powerful and doesn't get weaker when leveled up it kills many bosses easily, like Puu Black, Monster X, Balrog, both Core fights, and is pretty good against Ballos's second and third phase
Does it bother anybody else that Ballos, the true final boss of the game, doesn't have a single theme of his own? Both Gravity and Eyes of Flame are used throughout the game, and Final Battle is shared with Undead Core.
I was really interested how you would take on the fourth phase, since that's where things usually go to shit. Guess spam and praying to pixel is a commonly accepted tactic ^^
Of all the bosses I've had to fight, Ballos was by far the hardest, considering the fact you had to pay VERY close fucking attention, cause if you didn't, you're fucked. But multiply that by 100.
I didn't think anything was harder than Misery + Doctor + Berserk Doctor + Undead Core & Possessed Sue & Possessed Misery all in a row. I was so fucking wrong.
hell as a whole isn't that difficult. the challenge is doing it all in a short amount of time. hell, you can get to Ballos with full health, it justs takes a long time grinding hearts.
And you relentlessly kill that person with the ultimate weapon and a fucking rocket launcher that fires 3 missiles and only one is used out of the 30 missiles yeah that seems fair indeed
That boss feels like it would be fun if i didn't hAVE TO WASTE MY LIFE DOING THE SAME BULLSH*T SECTION OVER AND OVER JUST TO SEE ONE MORE OF HIS ATTACKS
@@Crayon_Egbert look. I played and conquered Pantheon of Hallownest in Hollow Knight, and at least there the road leading to the final boss was fun to me. This one's not.
I used my Life Pot on the Undead Core. I don’t think I’ll be able to beat this (been at it for almost 4 hours. Also Bloodstained Sanctuary B2 can F off)
Been trying to beat hell for like 2 days now. I always die right before Heavy Press (mainly because I'm too impatient) but this will definatley help me out once I reach ballos. XD
I'm not I'm patient I just ether get to caught up with the music or I get fucking murdered cuz I only have 25 Heath past the spikes of suicide that curly somehow survived and no I don't have the life pot or maybe my attention is all over the place causing me to get distracted and I die
Somecallmejohnny said this part was an insane difficulty spike but I've seen other videos of this fight and they seemed to have hardly any trouble with this guy. Maybe he meant the area leading up to him.
This is so frikking cheap your forced to go through 3 or 4 rooms of *total pain* that are *already really hard* then defeat a boss with *4* phases and if you don’t have a life pot your already dead like what the absolute frikk!? B.S.S is BS
@@timothyroehm4307 You were right on the last part, but the game itself is not bad, it's actually great. But that just my opinion, Cave Story is also a great game as well.
This boss battle is such a clusterfuck. Your characters small sprite combined with all shit going on screen makes it easy to lose track of where your character is during this fight. Seriouslu fuck this game and thia bullshit ass final boss
![Blasphemous 2: Mea Culpa - All Bosses [No Damage] + New Ending C](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/H2D9i5CO9VM/mqdefault.jpg)
The fact that Ballos actually wants to lose and die kind of makes this battle hard to beat emotionally.

yep, that's definitely the fight you could describe as "hard as balls"
Hard as ballos
rip those who wasted their lifepot
Me 😂😂
Me too ;-;
I did, and I end up starting the fight with 24 HP or so
Chan0 :Oh goddamnit I wasted my life pot also!!!
Me
Rocket spam is the true way to defeat ballos.
Rocket spam is the true form of defeating anything
Less Curly
I defeat with the nemesis and blade
what happens if I used most of them on heavy press
@@maskoflifetheforce try with another weapon :/
His face
That smile
The perfect man
SANS?!?
I thought the battle was over when you first beat him... I was hella wrong.
ikr
honestlyAngsty It's not fair because ballos is like a twin tower
He red faces are the souls of people he killed he's all filled with them because he's about to explode
Yvexx2000 tHiS iS eLm sTrEeT 4 aLl oVeR aGaIn
Ballos is a coomer
I reply to the old comment
mmmmm i'm so full of souls yum
1:29 It's BALLos!
3 yeas late but, that's way he is named Ballos lol
I was about to name that pun...
Jeez, I have never been happier to see balrog. I can hear the Indiana Jones theme play in my head as he bursts in.
The second stage always gets me.
First stage? Not too hard.
Third stage? Easy.
Fourth stage? Super rocket spam.
But THAT is the section that keeps getting me, goddamnit.
How?
Now do it with 3 health, the level 1 polar star, and no life pot.
_actually, you'd die in one hit with 3 health, so the life pot would be redundant_
I think someone already did.
Okay so just playing on hard mode?
@@MiuIruma yes
In hard mode though you’re able to still get 1 of the health upgrades if you talk to the dog before entering the final cave
And if Curly lands a single hit on ballos, you have to reset. Also, lv3 nemesis instead of lv1 polar star.
y'know
for kids

@@spimbles I like this boss and whatever that it is not so complicated, undead core is not complicated either, but it is also final boss
He's not the one who's fighting, it's his magic that forces him to.
He was unable to retain his humanity
It was my magic he borrowed that he couldn't control
I think I had more trouble with hell in this game than I had with the whole of Demon's Souls...
3:56
I think that he's filled with a ton of bloody people…
This makes me wonder.
In the other ending where you let the island fall to destruction, did Ballos die in that ending as well?
Probably not. Ballos' magic makes him immortal if I remember correctly.
@@thedeadweight5726 Actually I think the whole reason he was trying to pull the island down was so he could kill himself. And obviously in this battle we kill him so he's not immortal
@@thedeadweight5726 immortal. unless you have sufficient rocket.

*Looks at Cave Story+ ESRB rating*
Me: This is rated E?!
Kirby Dreamland 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards: Welcome to the club buddy!
I think that the hardest part of the boss is the learning process. Other than that, he's actually mildly easy. Still a great challenge, though.
Every video I see makes me feel like geting the machine gun was a mistake on my run for the best ending.
You think that’s bad? I got the flippin snake.

king's knife lvl 3 and curly using nemesis, you can go through all of his stages in probably just a minute
*Virgin Sans VS Chad Ballos*
Ballos would win easily
He is afraid of Pain for his experiences. He WANNA DIE but he is afraid of Pain. Thats why he have to be killed by a warrior. His instincts make him want to fight back.
His Ghost dog notes that his Magic is out of control. He doesn't want to do it, but it's no use. He can't reign over himself
Its the deez nuts guy in disguise.
Lmfao
gottem
Cave Story?First heard it from a PPSSPP homebrew with a same name.Now this game makes more sense by seeing the REAL one.
My childhood right here
One of my favorite Final Bosses of all time.
Which is better
Blade or Nemesis?
I say blade, sure it has low range, but it's powerful and doesn't get weaker when leveled up
it kills many bosses easily, like Puu Black, Monster X, Balrog, both Core fights, and is pretty good against Ballos's second and third phase
it's got the best damage of any unleveled weapon for sure
Does it bother anybody else that Ballos, the true final boss of the game, doesn't have a single theme of his own?
Both Gravity and Eyes of Flame are used throughout the game, and Final Battle is shared with Undead Core.
"Time to open my eyes..."
I CAME HERE FROM TERRARIA CALAMITY :O
also the remix version fucking AWESOME
How did you take like almost no damage before the fight?
You use the life pot Jenka gives you. You save it untill you fight Ballos.
He used the life pot in the middle of the fight with Ballos though.
TheIguanaJr you get two in the game
WHAT
Twenty Seventh Letter Jenna gives you one and she's mother gives you one
In his defence though it does seem like the boos fight is easier than the sacred grounds themself
No
I was really interested how you would take on the fourth phase, since that's where things usually go to shit. Guess spam and praying to pixel is a commonly accepted tactic ^^
is that a face inside of ballos in the final form
Yes . Is Scary as fuck
Look closely
no, that's the face of Sans from Earthbound.
Not just _a_ face. He's filled to busting at the seams with bloody skulls.
That's the joke
My little brother and I find this battle easy even without the spur. He does is casually as a warm up for the day.
For someone who wants to die this guy is fighting pretty hard >.>
wants to die but is afraid of pain.
i can only imagine how Ballos looks in the 3d version...
LIKE TRASH LIKE THE ENTIRE GAME CAVE STORY 3D IS JUST TRASH GRAFFIC'S GOD WHO SET THE BRIGHTNESS TOO 1 I CANT SEE SHIT
smooth. fuzzy. terrible
Who do you think this is, Zero2?
sydmanone zero 2 was a bit more disturbing I mean he's the most gruesome character of the Kirby series
@@maverickdarkrath4780 true
Of all the bosses I've had to fight, Ballos was by far the hardest, considering the fact you had to pay VERY close fucking attention, cause if you didn't, you're fucked. But multiply that by 100.
If you lose to him, you have to do the first part of the area again.
I didn't think anything was harder than Misery + Doctor + Berserk Doctor + Undead Core & Possessed Sue & Possessed Misery all in a row.
I was so fucking wrong.
@@OrionoftheStar I almost yeeted myself out a window because of the blood stained sanctuary itself
sigh im watching this just as i lose to ballos and just realised that i forgot the use the potion -.- i was so close to beating his 2nd form :(
real men get trough hell without their life pot
And then use it while fighting Ballos. lol I finally beat him today. Not too bad once you get his pattern down...and you have a life pot.
i actually meant dealing with hell and ballos without a life pot.i did it about six times
ultimatepwnerful I'd love to see a playthrough of that.
should i upload one ?
I did it! Only because I forgot I had the life pot :P
Ballos is so creepy!
My God you make it look easy.
Just devote an entire Sunday to it.
Wish zelda bosses were this challenging...
Soundtrack: PSSHHHHHCCKKKSHHHHHHHHSHHHHHCKSHHHHHHHPSHHH
hell as a whole isn't that difficult. the challenge is doing it all in a short amount of time. hell, you can get to Ballos with full health, it justs takes a long time grinding hearts.
BTW it's called the blood stained sanctuary
God this boss was hell on steroids
To bad i wasnt able to get the spur.
I never could defeat him
Star allies was censored but it had the same rating as this game
Ballos actually has only 3 forms. only you cannot damage the main body in the first stage of form 3. It is weird that people treat it having 4 forms.
*R A T E D E F O R E V E R Y O N E*
I CANT FIRCKING BEAT IT!
probably because im playing this on my 3ds...
cant even pass the first form
and also if a rocket spam it doesnt work
I dont have the spur and now try without spam rockets
ballos is so fucking easy now I've mastered all of his movements, patterns and attacks :D
good luck to those who are having trouble with him
Ballos is hard af the first time
Can anyone tell me where I can get this game I just found out about it
I beat this game 4 times but 50 tries trying to beat it
I playes an 8-bit version of ultra Nacrozma and it works for this lol
I killed him with the Snake :D (Feel Like a Pro)
Snake? was it Solid or Liquid? wait don't tell me. The Big and Boss one right?
AlexDeGhost he lied to you, It was Raiden
Ioseph Stalin NOOOOOO!!!
AlexDeGhost Snake, is dead.... here's the last radio message. "Snake? SNAKE?! SNAAAAAKKKKEEE!!!!!"
+Ninten SR i killed him with the blade:D
I think thats pretty fair when you are fighting someone who basically has the power of god .-.
And you relentlessly kill that person with the ultimate weapon and a fucking rocket launcher that fires 3 missiles and only one is used out of the 30 missiles yeah that seems fair indeed
the only really hard phases are the 1st one, and the 4th one.
That boss feels like it would be fun if i didn't hAVE TO WASTE MY LIFE DOING THE SAME BULLSH*T SECTION OVER AND OVER JUST TO SEE ONE MORE OF HIS ATTACKS
Same, but it's actually easy enough when you get used to going on and on in blood stained sanctuary

F
6 minutes? Really took you a while
hell is sooo hard!.....OH DEAR GOD THERE IS A THERD FORM!?!?!
4*

... shut up not like running through fucking hell is easy ok?
One Punch Man!!!!
BALlOS
This dude's not hard it's just,
The FUCKING 290 COUNTER and having to beat the entire thing in a specific amount of time.
Woah another ending? I beat the game before and the ending for me was just Quote and the green haired doctor flying on a drsgon to the sunset
That's the bad ending!
Bad ending shit Lord!
You got the bad ending dude
Theres alot of pepes
i cant
Been trying to beat hell for like 2 days now. I always die right before Heavy Press (mainly because I'm too impatient) but this will definatley help me out once I reach ballos. XD

So the final boss is a daruma statue - interesting =)
i don’t think it is
Still easier than Monster Fucking X
Monster X is easy tf are you talking about?
i ALMOST beat this fight... he was at like, almost a quarter of his hp left
NU DIEING WTH (what the heck)
Easy
only not harder than scal
