NAM 1975 Final Boss

Post by daito_kid »

So, this is the biggest problem of my life right now (disregarding college)-- Dr. Muckley and his huge robotic machine. I've got his basic patterns down, and can stay alive, for a decent amount of time, but I'm not sure how long the fight lasts, if there's more to him or anything else?

What's your thoughts? This guy, imo is one of the hardest boss fights I've played in a while.

Yes, too hard without cheating. Great game, one of my top 5 favs for NG.

OMG I just beat him. There's a way to do it, but it's ridiculously hard. When the fight begins you start on the far left or right, and inch your way over, and then tumble your way out of the corner, and fire once at him. After you make the first round of fire against him. Tumble back into the corner in order to keep up with Dr. Muckley's pacing back and forth from the screen. Take another round of shots and then tumble back, and slowly edge your way to the other side of the screen. Repeat until he is dead. This will take many many attempts. I've put way too many hours into just this fight, but in all honesty, I feel it was worth it =).

I've yet to make it that far. I'll have to bookmark this for future reference and give it another try soon.
