Last upgrade I had was the gravity suit. Is there many more?

Finished. 87% of items but a zero slow 14 hrs.
Worked out well in the end, avoided major frustration with boss man by learning his first couple of phases, then mopping up the map so when I returned tanked up, I actually enjoyed the boss rather than stressing.

There's a point of no return when it prompts you to go up in a lift, so get all of your backtracking done before you agree to that. Although expect to have to go up that lift a few times, I'll be dead impressed if you do him first go!. So I had some practice then wandered. Why does the ending have artwork splashed up for zero mission? Thought it was going to have a built in bonus game for a sec |

Yeah, I thought the same thing... Bit confusing! As far as I can tell they're the rewards for certain completion criteria (under X hours, 100%, hard mode etc). The ZM artwork is just the default one you get. Sadly that seems to be it in terms of post credit/alternate endings. |

Most of the later Emmis are fine to fight. Just pick somewhere with a decent bit of distance to chip away at its head, then reposition if needed for the final shot. It's getting to the part that you can fight them that was a pain in the arse for me.

Oh I don’t have a problem fighting them, it’s the getting past them bits I’m shit at. I don’t do stealth well as I have no patience:)

Yeah, it’s like Arkham asylum trying to remember which buttons to hold . I need to learn grapple without aim I think and I’ve just found out you can use shift multiple times

Wouldn't fret about becoming an expert grappler TBH. There's not a lot of swinging under pressure.

I found the EMMI fights underwhelming for the most part. The evading part was quite fun (although the counter really felt like luck to me), but when you got to fighting back it was always a matter of finding that right spot in the area where you get enough time to take out the shielding. I would much rather them have more health, but not recover. This just turned it into more of a trial and error puzzle. This only because more the case the further in you get.
Finished the game at just over 10 hours (sure it was more like 15 in actual time). Only about 55% items though. I ended up going back to get more, as I was burning through all my 113 or so rockets on the final boss. Finished him when I managed to get to 150 odd.

I’m at the end myself now. Going back and attempting to 100% a few areas. Final boss isn’t particularly exciting as a prospect. Doesn’t unlock a new skill or area, just gets me some exposition for the guff story. If I don’t Hoover up the collectibles now I never will, and it’s the best part of the game anyway.  |

Blue EMMI is history. What a dick he was. Really into this now, and regretting not committing to Hollow Knight in the same way. If I do go back to that I’ll probably have to start over…

Its worth starting hollow knight over if its been a while. Just to get your head around the mechanics and perks, etc...

Really don’t like the sound of this next EMMI. Not the way Adam described it anyway…

Just finished 100% in 11:34. Absolutely loved it. I thought the boss battles were fantastic. Not sure I fancy hard mode though.

Just finished, game time just under 18 hours (I couldn't figure out where to go a few times and spent a lot of time running around) and 93% of the items.
Fantastic game, if I had to criticise my main problem was the controls for the speed boost/shinespark thing. Making the button to trigger it the same as the jump button meant I never really got the hang of it which is why I didn't get 100% items. Just too frustrating.
I really enjoyed the boss fights, which is unusual for me.

I kept panicking and pressing the dash button when I wanted to shinespark, or good old space jumping instead. For any of the mid air ones it can help if you break out of a spin jump with L, but the hardest part is then jumping before pressing the direction you want to go. I find it nearly impossible to let go of the analog stick at that point and pretty much always fuck it up.
I might just find a nice open room in the game and practice sparks without any pressure.

I have had to call it a day on the final boss. Can't do it, nowhere even close. I'm just not quick enough to respond to his attacks.
Oh well not to worry. I will YT the ending. Absolutely fab game though, thoroughly enjoyed it for the most part.
