Shotgun Parry and Minos' corpse (new? tech)

[@jorria34]

Yes the shotgun parry is very well known, also in weapon category of the arcade machine thing you can see in info all the intended and basic tech and synergies of the weapons.

[@nirichy]

I know
The new part for me was the shotgun parry on king minos

[@ikcikor3670]

[@YexprilesteR]

@@nirichy Yeah used in a lot of Corpse Minos speedruns, it is cool to discover things by yourself, continue experimenting ULTRAKILLER

[@SupaThePotato]

fun fact: king minos takes 400% parry damage

I always wondered why his skeletal system shattered when he got parried despite having like 165 health.

@@enricobaschenis4257 You make a valid point

[@aria8ball]

Remember the window is stricter and you need to be at point blank for shotgun parry :)

[@rileymoore7025]

You can combine a projectile boost and a shotgun parry, too. You can't parry with the punch during a proj-boost, BUT you can still shotgun parry. I do it to Maurice all the time.

[@dadmitri4259]

that sounds really cool but the boosted pellet is just going to bounce off maurice, right?

[@mago474]

Do proj boosts even do anything to maurices?
They normally deflect core ejects and rockets

[@nirichy]

They dont. maurice is immune to explosions
And they should deflect the proj boost projectile

[@moyaienjoyer3037]

@@nirichy I believe that if you projectile boost into a malicious face point blank the exploding bullet will hit you and appear to have exploded on the face.

[@Techmoblad]

​@@moyaienjoyer3037 it wont hit you or explode on the face, it'll just bounce off the maurice. However this sort of parry stacking is really effective against swordsmachines, where it can take out like 25 health from one projectile boost double pump shotgun parry

[@Leviathan_SRN]

I saw on the extra background gameplays that you let the overpump hit you and take away half your health
You can dash and use the overpump charge during the dash to avoind getting damaged

[@nirichy]

I know and i have been doing that for a long time.
I just suck with the timing

[@christmascretin]

i swear at some point in the game it tells you about shotgun parrying

[@two6833]

Arcade machine?

[@leodmans]

so i want someone beat ultrakill act 1 and 2 with parry only

[@Dashinix]

I didn’t know about this, I’ll try this out next time I hit the grind

[@adarte]

if i'm not wrong Maurice’s beam is also parryable with a point blank shot

[@exquisicy5429]

anything is parriable with shotgun besides projectiles

[@Aurontime777]

@@exquisicy5429 I did this all the time I see Maurice. Parrying as soon as its attacking sound cue rings cancels his attacks and create an explosion on himself instead.

[@exquisicy5429]

@@Aurontime777 yeah you can parry right as the projectile is about to be thrown out

[@darkbeetlebot]

Yeah, this is how I usually kill them

[@tda8184]

Just wait for the SRS cannon boy, it will be so much more fun (i speculate that you can kinda parry with it as well)

[@nirichy]

I dont think that you can parry with it since that would be hella op. My thought is that the insur falling over is just the special interaction between the gun and the insur.

[@civotamuaz5781]

When i saw the challenge first time i was like splendid piece of trolling sirs. But it's real 💀💀💀

[@ogorekcyfrowywdupiekota]

Yeah, I found it especially effective against Maurices

[@Malk3]

i love the thumbnail

[@nirichy]

Thanks

[@hylianmango8272]

everybody knows about the shotgun parry, BUT ON KING MINOS, WHAT IS THIS CHICANERY??

[@bomblii]

shotgun parries have 650% damage on corpse minos holy

[@spectreone]

Projectile boost + parry > Mindflayer

[@CptDoot]

you can do this with the big water serepent thing

if you parry maurice's charge beam with shotgun it nearly instakills it

[@pancakebatter5146]

Maurice already takes shotgun parry damage at point blank

[@civotamuaz5781]

Whiplash + shotgun pb + knuckleblaster and game crashes from overkilling it

[@ashleylust1271]

Ok but what does the "down to size" style multiplier mean

[@garrettupchurch8840]

I believe it only happens when you parry the fists and is exclusive to this fight

[@gagekieffer772]

I'm assuming it means either parrying, or parrying and knocking back, an enemy that is significantly larger than you, i.e. the Corpse of King Minos. Like Garret Upchurch said it's only exclusive to Corpse King Minos' fight. As for why it doesn't apply to Leviathan, I don't think it has any parry-able attacks that knock it back on parry, though somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Idontlikeanyonehere]

@@gagekieffer772 no, it’s surge attack is parry-able (despite it flashing blue) but it’s so pixel perfect and doesn’t give the down to size or do a lot of damage so don’t bother

[@paulroberto2286]
