Minor Problem with Salamander

[apachacha]

The first boss is so fast it kills me almost imediately. Is there something I'm missing ? 

[_Paul]

I'd help you but I just died twice on level 1 trying to get there :/

[apachacha]

Let me guess: the shootable walls ?

[Digi.k]

you really need auto fire for this game XD

also pick up 2 x speed ups for the first boss.

and I got a vid up on youtube years ago completing it.. although I wish I did the end level better

Get the speed ups and the lazers+options.

then, hold the button down and jiggle around til you succeed.

Salamander level 1 is the hardest fuckin level in the game if you ask me lol

Really? I never, ever had any problem with level 1 in Salamander. Are you guys just saying this to make the OP feel better? I had far more trouble with the level 2 boss than anything. The fucking thing takes eons to die.

the first boss is kinda strange, if you fight him with full weaponry he's faster than if you fight him with weak weaponry (those who already died before at the germ walls). anyway get nuff speed ups and he should be history in no time.

He's rather easy, just grab every powerup you can
If you're stuck here's my old 1 life clear (expert mode) run.

Nice video.

I agree, if you are powered up, then the game is easier.

Cool videos, I subscribed to your channel, cool stuff!

Doesn't that count for sheer every shooter ever made in history of videogames?

But nevertheless as I said above, the boss is harder (moves kinda faster/different) when your fire power is on max. as when your power is weak/slow. So this probably is what most peeps do irritate. At least it did me. So knowing this, you have to act different to beat him without losing a life.

Thanks.

Well not every shooter.

Take Deep Blue for example. You're stil screwed regardless of what you have

Edit: okay I found the speedups. I didn't properly kill all those orange whatchamacallits right after those huge teeth looking things, so I didn't pick them up before . Thanks.

Agreed. But, that level 2 boss sure does test your reflexes while it's testing your patience.
