L20Boss

This demo shows how I defeated the level 20 boss, on ACE difficulty.

The keys to doing in the boss of Baloris Prime (master of Gytowt Station :-) are the three cloaking devices found behind the red door. When cloaked, you can unload on him without fearing the homing green plasma balls that he emits when damaged. And remember, matter weapons will not hurt him; you must use energy weapons.

The demo starts in the nearby energy room. A couple remnants of the recent battle here remain: a shield ball and a cloaking device. I grab both of them and head for red door.

Upon entering the boss's lair, I try to soften up his defenses by taking out some of his minions before he awakens from his "slumber." I manage to trip generator twice and dispatch all of its annoying little green gnats. Shortly after this, boss decides he's heard enough and steps in.

Switching to my L6 Quad Laser, I quickly grab the nearby cloaking device. There isn't much commentary to add to the action. Just a matter of staying cloaked and unloading on the boss.

The exit is some distance away, but with a couple of shots of afterburner, I get there in plenty of time to collect the two Earthshakers behind the walls near the exit. :-) Note that I had previously cleared the path to the exit and propped open the doors with markers.
