For level 24 use rank 5 red hull and rockets with all split, two homing, one acid and one affliction, double defense lazer and antimatter. Works every time.

Please stop posting things like "Hyperion is so easy!"
and "Atropos is so hard!" etc because the difficulty of
the bosses depends on YOUR SKILL.

Why would you celebrate my deaths?

When i beated Tartarus i tried to start again and win the game without deaths. I've finished the game without dying and beating the boss run in my FIRST TRY. :D
PD: The boss run took me 1 hour. Tartarus has too HP for the red hull -.-

Here is a tip to beating Hyperion, max out your plasma, have the red ship (at rank 4) and max that out, and have antimatter maxed out, then put homing and splash on the plasma and then max the splash and homing out, and then get the shield then max that out. hope this helps

@Shang shar
Well, I've managed to do 4 of the bosses without getting hit, so at the very least it's not impossible. Working on #5.

just a heads out for the people who wants to 120% the warp core, its not worth it, your only doing it for the feeling of completion other than that. its just not. it only gives you infinite focus which you already complete the game.

【Equipment when I cleared the level 25】
HULL:Armor(red) RANK5
SHIP MOD1:DEFENSIVE LASER
SHIP MOD2:SHEILD
BOMB MOD:ANTIMATTER
WEP1:SPLIT-SPLIT
WEP2:ACID-HOMING
WEP3:ACID-HOMING
WEP4:SPLIT-SPLIT
*All lebel max.
I do not know this is the combination of the best, if your technique is much the same with me, you should be able to clear the level 25. Good luck.

Hello Mr. Dev, go play frantic 2 or 3 then come back and look at your enemy and bosses patterns. (p.s. How in the nine hells am I supposed to complete a boss level without taking damage, they have faster than hell bullets in a small space, and patterns with little tiny openings that are near imposable to go through.)

It's never a good sign when I keep drawing comparisons to a game I liked way, way more. In this case, it's Upgrade Complete 2. Tons of stuff to buy, unpredictable enemy patterns, lots of waves to complete. Sound familiar? So why is that so immensely enjoyable and this so tormenting? Because it's WAY TOO EASY TO DIE here. All the firepower in the world doesn't matter if you don't live long enough to use any of it! Yeah yeah, "challenge", but there's challenging and there's broken monitor-inducing, and a programmer *has* to know where the line is. And speaking of which, how unforgivable is it that even if you *do* sell your soul (i.e. the warp core), it doesn't make the game easy, *the one reason anyone would sell it*? Huh...I'm too old for this. 1/5

No matter what I try, Albatros kicks my ass as soon as all the hull parts are off. How am I going to survive those sick amount of bullets and those balls circling around me? I don't get it...

Tips: -You can take off the warp core when not battling a boss for 2 ship modifiers. -Max Homing + Max Split is still 90% damage of original damage. -You can hit F to change your weapons from straight ahead to the side to hit those nasty flank attacks. -When a ton of bullets is going everywhere, it's better to use focus before to see the opening then during to look for one. -When in doubt, anti-matter bombs.

A tip for the boss run: do NOT waste your bombs, you don't get them back inbetween bosses, however, you DO get to retain your focus.

I was at atropes 2.0 on the boss run and when I was about to finish him off, he did an attack that I absolutely for the life of me could not figure out how to dodge...two of the green orbs that circle him went on both sides and followed me as I moved shooting green lasers all over the place while the boss itself also shot some too

Just beat Atropos on the boss run after a ton of trial and error and I have a couple tip for people trying to beat it. I used the red hull because you WILL get hit no matter how good you are. The green one has high focus, but you need to be able to take hits. I used rocket (Split,homing), Plasma (Split, Split), Rocket (Split, Affliction) and Rocket (Split, homing) in that order. Every boss has a phases where you can get in close and deal insane amount of dmg with the plasma if you know how to dodge it correctly.I used dual shield to tank as much dmg as possible and I used Leech bomb. Leech bombs will completely refill your hp and I got to atropos before even using one. It really is about memorizing safe areas during boss routes to win boss run.

I will never beat this game because level 24 is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hands down, the best shooter that I have ever played. Tartarus battle is epic, and I like the fact that Tartarus is actually the ship from the original Reactance.

If you defeat Atropos on the Boss Run you'll gain something that will help out a lot in what comes after. I don't know whether this is dependent on the warp core being kept. The new item fills the last slot in the shop - the bottom-right most one.

I did not beat the final boss with no bombs used or no damage taken or with the warp core. I used antimatter bombs to take out his arms (melee weapons are pretty stupid for a bullet hell game) and the double shield was pretty much necessary.

For farming cash use homing lasers, 2 with split, 1 with poison 1 with affliction (poison and affliction doesn't stack) and collectors. For the first 20 levels you can pretty much breeze through without a problem. For super fast cash get antimatter bombs and kill the second boss by spamming them, it gets you tons of cash in seconds. For survival mode, use the farming build but with defense lasers. I use the green hull for lots of focus, I got up to level 46 on my second try. For level 25 I used flak, split, homing, double shields, red hull. However it was very difficult so I suggest using homing lasers instead. The attack where two of his orbs sit next to you, don't move or else you'll be hit. Then when the bullets pass hit focus and dodge the wave from him.

Be as sceptical as you want about homing lasers, but let me remind you that in the first game we had laser shooting lasers.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Vigen, rockets have fewer shots per volley than lasers and do less damage overall than lasers, especially after applying splitters. If you want high damage you need to use lasers or bullets with lasers having a faster kill speed than bullets due to being instantaneous and higher damage per shot. Lasers > Bullets > Rockets > Anything > Flak

Most of the tips I see are about (homing) lasers. Can someone explain to me why lasers are better than missiles? They have the same fire rate, but the missile has a higher damage and bullet count. I understand that lasers can hit multiple targets but it doesn't seem that useful during boss fights.

Theres 2 patterns that kills you on bossrun. 1 of hyperion (homing+spam) and 1 of atropos (2 balls hovers you and locks you in and thus no distance from the enemy core thus not creating the gap in his his spam.) Getting that fully charges warpcores is pointless for the game though. I remember doing it after hours of just waiting to get lucky with the patterns back in july 2012. Dont bother doing it people its not worth it.
