Stage A-1-3: Setup for 2nd Ring Glitch (Ver. 2)

Boss: Akmodan II (Mummy)

Overview

  • The biggest time loss/save comes from the Mummy whose spawns are random. The best outcome is a 1 cycle in which he would spawn from either the far left or far right of the screen.
  • Each full cycle costs 1400 frames (23.3 sec)
  • Half a cycle or if you are one hit of are still is a 700 (11.6 sec) frame time lose. So a good boss to invest some time

1 Cycle Mummy Strats

Right Side

Notes:

  • For both of these videos, these are best scenarios. Mummy can give fireballs as an attack instead of bandage and positioning will have to change.
